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.

    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.
