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.

      I am Canadian. I will happily give my life defending my country when your dictator sends his pawns across our border. I am prepared to do so and have already gathered everything I need to do just that with what resources I have.

      What are you doing about the dictator you allowed to gain unlimited power and send your own citizens to death camps? not to mention the unfortunate souls who just happened to be born in the wrong place or have the wrong color skin.

      Attacking those telling the truth because it makes you uncomfortable or scared. That’s pretty 'murican of you. Just like your dictator.

          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.
