In a twist worthy of Kafka, DHS told a U.S. citizen—who also happens to be an immigration attorney—to leave the country. The agency might’ve confused “representing immigrants” with “being one.” It’s the kind of bureaucratic faceplant that makes you wonder if autocorrect is running federal departments now.

What makes this Shocking Twist extra bewildering is that the immigration attorney ordered out by DHS, Jayson Ahern, was born and raised in Chicago. “Shocking Twist: DHS Orders Immigration Attorney to Leave the U.S” became more than a headline—it’s a bureaucratic paradox.
