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 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.

      Man the Canadian side of the falls is super nice, too. They have it all built out, Id deport there if given the option. I’m definitely going to ride the purple moose this time, though, and no, that’s not code for heroin.
