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.

    This is exactly what will need to happen. Eventually citizens will have to draw weapons on ICE and tell them to leave, or fire upon them. It is infinitely better to risk being arrested and have that day in court than be vanished while the nazi administration refuses court orders to return you to the US. That is 100% self defense imo.
