Dr. Lisa Anderson, 58, was born in Pennsylvania and is a U.S. citizen.
A doctor born in the United States says she received an email from federal immigration authorities demanding that she leave the country immediately.
Lisa Anderson, a physician from Cromwell, Connecticut, told NBC Connecticut on Wednesday that she recently received a letter from the Department of Homeland Security telling her, “It is time for you to leave the United States."
Immigration authorities have been pushing noncitizens to leave of their own volition, or “self-deport,” as the number of deportations remains at similar levels to last year.
The famous quote about Nazis, “First they came for…” is being realized at intense pacing.
Fuck fascists and their garbage Nazi AI injection into government systems. All Nazis are garbage and the exception to the rule about acceptance and inclusion. GTFO!
The difference between today’s Republican Party and the Nazi Party is just temporal and geographical. Same ethics.
“ethics”
intense pacing? it’s a gd speedrun of it is what it is
The underlying unsaid context: “White American with White Name who never has been outside the country told to self-deport”. Yes, WHITE AMERICA it could happen to YOU!
White people have never been exempt. One of my few criticisms of the BLM movement was that they should have been more inclusive.
So you’re an ‘All lives matter’ kinda person?
Unironically, BLM should have grabbed ALM before the white supremacists did. It would have taken some of the wind out of their sails. There’s some images of Black protesters holding signs of white kids who got killed by cops. Black people have a higher rate of police brutality then white people do, but Native Americans have an even higher rate. Not to mention that cops seem to go immediately to guns when dealing with epileptic shock and seizures victims. Also see Women and Queer people.
Also autistic folks, I’ve gotten lucky that my meltdowns generally make me less vulnerable but there have been folks who aren’t to lucky. A good recent example was that kid up in Idaho.
Unironically the suffragettes should have campaigned for all people being allowed to vote.
Unironically, the LGBTQ community should have campaigned for all marriages to be legal.
BLM wasn’t ALM because the movement was based on the horrendous rates of police violence and murder their communities have suffered. Yes, all lives do matter, but the point of the protest was how much black lives don’t matter in the US.
There’s also other minority groups. I’m not sure you read my whole post, because I specifically mentioned Native Americans having an even higher rate of police brutality.
Unironically, the LGBTQ community should have campaigned for all marriages to be legal.
Isn’t that what they did? At least between consenting adults.
Also, there was an effort within the Women’s suffrage movement to continue and get African Americans the right to vote. Martin Luther King Jr. also tried to continue to promote Communism. It’s almost like if you’re proven to be successful at leading real change, you get targeted. You’re not allowed to change the world twice.
But she gets to laugh it off, which is exactly what she’s doing.
She’s not laughing it off. She’s worried and carrying her passport on her at all times.
I lived in a travelers hostel with a lot of international people moving about on various visas. I think white people and majorities are more smug and comfortable than they should be right now. There was plenty of fuckery then, and we didn’t even have the Jaffa cake monster in charge.
Don’t assume they ain’t coming for you. If you’re not on their side, you’re somewhere on the list.
What’s as bizarre as anything else about this is that they are sending these to people via email. Like she says, most people will just think it’s spam. What official US government organization has ever before sent official legal stuff via email? None. Until now.
The idea that if you don’t see an email threatening to arrest or deport you, because it was filtered as spam or looks like spam or was sent to an old email you don’t even use anymore or any number of things related to email being an unreliable way to contact someone, is scary.
I also read somewhere that some govt agency (don’t recall which, I think it was a health agency?) would now be posting all official notices on X instead of on their own official website!!!
It sets up a situation where anyone could misrepresent the government and send these types of emails out to harass people.
Get guns. Go sit with these women and minorities who are being attacked. Wait for the gestapo. Act.
You first, Keyboard Warrior.

If I received a message like this, I would buy a plane ticket to a safe country and would apply for asylum immediately, and I would use the letter as a basis for the asylum application. It seems like a really strong basis for the application.
Define safe here, the only places I can think are Australia or New Zealand. The rest of the world is heavily messed up and falling head over hills for right wing sirens.
Time to muddy the waters. Everyone who is an immigrant (legal or illegal) when asked for an email address, find an email address of an executive at a large corporation and use that.
The last two I read weren’t immigrants, they are born in the U.S. with social security numbers and birth certificates. Well I’m assuming this one has those, being that she’s born and is a doctor here. Practicing doctors require background checks
honest question: did you respond to the wrong person?
No, their reply made perfect sense. We could just use repub official emails for EVERYBODY, not just immigrants, in order to mess up the system scraping this information for everybody and not just immigrants.
I have an idea
But I’m not sure yet whether a government telling a citizen to GTFO NAO is enough persecution and threat to warrant giving refug— doctor, you say? Let’s show you to some housing for while you sit the re-cert exam.
I think ICE should self deported, but that’s just me. Maybe we can start with Elon FuckStick since he overstayed his visa when he first came to the U.S.
At this point, I wish the ICE site to be hacked and prominent Rebublicans to be put on “the list”.
It is time for you to leave the United States.
Well, considering the political climate I can’t really argue with that.
The ones to Us Citizens were meant for next month… Opps
I’m wondering what her specialty is, it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s something the administration wants to ban. Of course, that’s pure supposition since it’s not listed in the article, but an effective way to ban women’s health and affirming care would be to remove those that provide that care.
I’m curious too. I would google her, but the number of Dr Lisa Andersons from Pennsylvania is probably fairly significant. It’s not a small state or anything.
I believe it says she’s in Cromwell, Connecticut now. Though originally from PA.
What a weak response by officials. It may have been in error? They can’t even admit that they are terrorizing citizens?
