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...

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.

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!

But she gets to laugh it off, which is exactly what she's doing.

What's as bizarre as anything else about this is that they are sending these to people via email. Like she says, most people will just think it's spam. What official US government organization has ever before sent official legal stuff via email? None. Until now.

The idea that if you don't see an email threatening to arrest or deport you, because it was filtered as spam or looks like spam or was sent to an old email you don't even use anymore or any number of things related to email being an unreliable way to contact someone, is scary.

I also read somewhere that some govt agency (don't recall which, I think it was a health agency?) would now be posting all official notices on X instead of on their own official website!!!

Chances are those idiots are just using a shitty LLM to parse through folders of documents and extract names, then templatize them into a form email without any validation. She could have been listed as a physician for some other person and her name showed up on some random medical document and the dumb system grabber her that way.

They're too dumb to even comprehend what they are doing, they're using AI like it's canon all over the place.

This is actually great.

I mean, I know this is going to be a cynical take, but I have nothing left but cynicism towards my country.

If the administration starts persecuting white Americans, that's far more likely to rile up middle-class, liberal America than if people with "exotic" names like 'Garcia" get deported. It sucks but it's true, our country is built on a foundation of mildly xenophobic middle-class liberals who don't really care what happens politically until they feel personally threatened, and at this point I really, really want them to feel the danger so there's some chance of recovering this tragic slide back into the fucking dark-ages.

Get guns. Go sit with these women and minorities who are being attacked. Wait for the gestapo. Act.

You first, Keyboard Warrior.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have an idea

But I'm not sure yet whether a government telling a citizen to GTFO NAO is enough persecution and threat to warrant giving refug--- doctor, you say? Let's show you to some housing for while you sit the re-cert exam.

Time to muddy the waters. Everyone who is an immigrant (legal or illegal) when asked for an email address, find an email address of an executive at a large corporation and use that.
