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.

    Why would you do the via email and not an official letter? People see it as spam or it might be the wrong email adres. Fucking amateurs.

      Because none of the people in charge know what they are doing.

      There is one good thing about this, if email is now official means of primary government communication, that means it’s a guaranteed right that has to be provided for free.

      Because you’re governed by a fascist dictator who you have given unlimited authority to do whatever the fuck he chooses. And he is.

      Because this is all from DOGE bs. They probably did a mail merge and said, “if you did nothing wrong… ignore this email… but if you did, you got 7 days. Herp derp.”

      We already knew Elon and Donald doesn’t know shit about the Federal Government since Day 1 and hired morons.

      That’s just it. Our highest government institutions are now almost entirely by rank dipshits who don’t know how anything works. They’re worse than amateurs. At least amateurs know enough to understand their own shortcomings.
