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’m wondering what her specialty is, it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s something the administration wants to ban. Of course, that’s pure supposition since it’s not listed in the article, but an effective way to ban women’s health and affirming care would be to remove those that provide that care.

      I’m curious too. I would google her, but the number of Dr Lisa Andersons from Pennsylvania is probably fairly significant. It’s not a small state or anything.

        I believe it says she’s in Cromwell, Connecticut now. Though originally from PA.
