Normally I try to not comment on the status of stories being flagged, but this feels particularly egregious. We have a US citizen being detained and held by ICE despite giving evidence of their citizenship. This is fully unacceptable.

Agreed. I opened this in a tab and came back to find it flagged. This is relevant to all of us in the US.

My wife got her citizenship just a week ago. I was (and am) very happy about this.

But now I'm a little concerned this was all for nothing. If ICE is going to start deporting US citizens, then I really can't really feel safe. Ever.

I am so god damn tired of this.

All naturalized citizens are in the crosshairs since naturalization can in fact be reverted. It's supposed to be a very difficult process, but with this admin, we already know that their modus operandi will be to throw the book at you and get you whisked away to some detention center and promptly deported, and then good luck fighting it in courts (which they will also stonewall and ultimately ignore anyway).

Worse yet, Trump and his clique have already openly talked about denaturalization and threatened to apply it to political opponents, so it's not idle speculation either.

Yeah, we've decided that we're not leaving the country if/until Trump is out of office. I don't need to rock the boat with this shit.

I think it’s time that we had full transparency here. I want to see who upvoted or flags submissions.
