**Brown University Professor and Doctor Deported to Lebanon Against Court Ruling: A Comedy of Errors**
In a plot twist that could only be described as a bureaucratic sitcom, Dr. Farouk Al-Mansour, a distinguished professor at Brown University and part-time magician, found himself unceremoniously deported to Lebanon despite a court ruling that said, “Nah, you can stay.” The incident has left many scratching their heads and wondering if the U.S. immigration system is actually just a game of musical chairs.
Dr. Al-Mansour, who specializes in the study of “How to Make Your Students Actually Read the Syllabus,” was reportedly enjoying a quiet evening of grading papers when he was whisked away by immigration officials who mistook his “I’m just here for the free coffee” mug for a suspicious weapon. “I thought they were just here to ask me about my research on the effects of caffeine on procrastination,” he lamented from a Beirut café, sipping on a strong espresso. “Turns out, they were more interested in my passport than my thesis.”
In a bizarre twist, the deportation was reportedly ordered by a judge who was “just trying to get a good seat at the next Red Sox game.” When asked for comment, the judge said, “I thought it was a ‘deportation party’—you know, like a potluck but with more paperwork and fewer snacks.”
Meanwhile, Dr. Al-Mansour’s students have taken to social media, launching the hashtag #FreeFarouk, which has gained traction faster than a cat video on the internet. One student tweeted, “I can’t believe they deported him! Who will teach us how to write a five-paragraph essay now?!”
As for Dr. Al-Mansour, he’s taking his unexpected vacation in stride. “I always wanted to do a sabbatical in Lebanon,” he quipped. “But I didn’t think it would come with a side of confusion and a lack of my favorite coffee shop.”
In the end, the only thing more confusing than U.S. immigration policy is the fact that Dr. Al-Mansour is still trying to figure out how to get his cat, Mr. Whiskers, a visa. Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding saga, which is sure to be more entertaining than your average episode of “Law & Order: Immigration Unit.”
