python fastapi giving incorrect responses

I have a fastapi app connected to my firebase firestore. I am writing a simple endpoint to check if the current user has an admin role or not?

I have written the following code for the endpoint

@router.get("/isAdmin")
def is_admin(email: str):  # sourcery skip: merge-nested-ifs
    """Enddpoint to check if the current user is an admin or not

    Args:
        email_id (str): email id of the user to be validated
    """

    # Check if the user exists in our firestore database based on the email ID
    db = firestore.client()
    user_ref = db.collection("users").where("email", "==", email).get()

    # Check if the user exists and if the user has admin role
    if user_ref:

        # If the user exists, check if the user is an admin and return the roles if the user is an admin
        if user_ref[0].to_dict()["hasAdminRole"]:
            user_id = user_ref[0].id
            user_roles_ref = (
                db.collection("users").document(user_id).collection("roles")
            )
            user_roles_data = user_roles_ref.stream()

            roles = {role.id: role.to_dict() for role in user_roles_data}
            return {"hasAdminRole": True, "roles": roles}

    # If the user doesn't exist or doesn't have admin role,
    # check the tempAdmins collection to see if the user is a temporary admin
    temp_admin_ref = db.collection("tempAdmins").where("email", "==", email)
    temp_admin_data = temp_admin_ref.get()
    if temp_admin_data:
        # Get the documentID from the data
        temp_admin_id = temp_admin_data[0].id

        # Reference the roles document and get the data
        temp_admin_roles_ref = (
            db.collection("tempAdmins").document(temp_admin_id).collection("roles")
        )
        temp_admin_roles_data = temp_admin_roles_ref.stream()

        roles = {role.id: role.to_dict() for role in temp_admin_roles_data}
        return {"hasAdminRole": True, "roles": roles}

    # return no access message if the user is not an admin
    return JSONResponse(
        status_code=response_status.HTTP_401_UNAUTHORIZED,
        content={"message": "You do not have an admin role", "hasAdminRole": False},
    )

For any email ID, whether it's an admin or not, I get the following response.

{
  "message": "User does not exist"
}

The above response is very weird because I am not even writing the above message as a response anywhere and I don't know if this a fastapi swagger issue.

The endpoint I am hitting is - http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/isAdmin?email=test%40test.com
