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.

      You’re comparing populations hardened by war, young men who have known nothing but violence and civil war with Weekend Warrior Proud Boys and the 101st Hoverround Brigade? You are delusional.

      Open military style warfare is not your friend. Guerilla tactics will serve you so well against the organized military. Look to your war history for inspiration. But not your military.

      Something tells me a war here would go very differently. Who knows, maybe you’re right - I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that the most well armed civvies won’t be fighting against the govt though. If you get my meaning.
