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.
With an exotic name like Lisa Anderson (I’m sorry, did I pronounce that right?) She’s kind of asking for trouble like this.
They’re pushing the boundaries, to see what they can get away with.
I’m just joking.
They can get away with anything.
They scraped her social media, deemed it to have “Improper Attitude,” and targeted her. Besides, the only reason she’s not the kitchen, not making sammiches where she belongs, is because of AA/DEI, right guyz?!!!
Edit again: wrong doctor. Still…
Remember when they thought the covid shot was a way to keep track of you. Why don’t they care all of a sudden?
If a non-personal email — such as an American citizen contact — was provided by the alien, notices may have been sent to unintended recipients, It does make me concerned there’re a lot more people out there like me who probably also thought this was spam, who probably didn’t realize, ‘I have a problem,’
Having a mistake in this situation makes it less clear whether other messages are legitimate or not, so we might see more cases like those described around https://www.yahoo.com/news/black-people-receiving-racist-text-012451742.html
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.
Canada’s doing ok. There’s a 75% chance that the next prime minister will be liberal, but our conservatives are also less crazy than Trump. Most Canadians hate Trump right now, so both sides are pretty much required to oppose Trump.
The US might invade us, but that’s true for a bunch of countries right now.
And hopefully we are all in agreement to vote ~smol pp~ into retirement.
I don’t like all of ~smol pp~'s policies, but at least they tell it like it is, you know? After ~big pp~'s growing scandal and flaccid campaign promises, I just want someone who has the stamina to keep this country erect for at least the next 3 years.
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 you’re governed by a fascist dictator who you have given unlimited authority to do whatever the fuck he chooses. And he is.
Everybody is assuming that this is the result of this administration’s virtuosic incompetence, but it is equally possible that these people have been specifically targeted. The last one was an immigration attorney, so that seemed to indicate they were harrassing someone who was opposing them. I wonder if they have some bizarre reason to target this woman.
Conceivably it is both. There’s a Dr. Lisa Anderson on a list somewhere for some reason and the admin simply does not care if they sent the letter to the right person.
Similarly, when the ICE agents kick down her door, they won’t care if she’s the right person either.
“Fuck it, take her anyway.”
Admitting to a mistake weakens their idea of authority. Authority, any authority, will do anything before they admit to a mistake. If you’ve ever put at a disadvantage because of an authority’s mistake, you know how it goes.
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!
Death to Nazis!
If this is against mods policy go ahead and delete but… seriously.
Nah fuck that
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.
