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.

      Fucking right I am. I am doing whatever I can to piss Americans off to the point of opposing their dictator so we don’t have to. What other routes do I have to oppose this dictatorship before it encroaches on my country? Am I not protesting properly for you?

      I could give a fuck anymore about American citizens, they’ve chosen their fate and enshrined it in law but I sure as hell care about my family and friends in my country. My initial statement is about organizing and fighting back. What the fuck are you doing?

          Yes. Proudly. What gives Russia, China and India the monopoly on affecting change from a computer terminal? I didn’t know there was a patent on protest tactics.
