Then why are you taking a chance and yapping on the intermet about this if you're so terrified?

Or is this another drama queen act?

Me?. Nah, I am white.

My friends and coworkers who include mostly POC and legal immigrants, have accents, do not look European? Absolutely.

Any MAGAs here with accents, POC? MAGAs who are first generation immigrants with parents who have accents? What say you?

Order of risk …

CURRENTLY, AT IMMEDIATE RISK (100%):
Illegal, and not progressing toward citizenship
Illegal, but progressing toward citizenship

NEXT UP!
Naturalized, criminal history (75%)
Naturalized, no criminal history (50%)

THIS COULD NEVER HAPPEN IN THE U.S.!
U.S. citizen at birth, criminal history (25%)
U.S. citizen at birth, no criminal history (10%)

NO RISK
Corrupt political elite in favor with R party (0%)

If you’re wealthy and/or connected, go down two levels of risk (as needed) …

If you are MAGA or a radical, extremist Zionist, go down one level of risk (as needed).

Every American should be afraid of this. Carrying your passport is not a solution. If Government can send numerous people to accost you on the street or in your home what is a passport going to do?

Failure to return Mr, Garcia is a violation of court order and along with Congress essentially abdicating its responsibility means the U.S. Constitution is meaningless. We’re either a nation of law and checks and balances or we’re not. At this point we’re more not. Lawlessness will increase and with it anarchy. That is not a scare tactic, that is what history shows us.

The U.S. was the first empire and its seems it’s working to be the next to fail.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this right now and I'm also so sorry everyone else ignored you. It's truly awful you're stuck making this choice and I definitely think it's a rational fear.

You have a high chance of being let back into the country but even a .00001% chance they could deny you entry will obviously give you pause. You should not have to worry about this.

I don't think I would take the risk right now, honestly.

I'm a US born citizen and yes, I am worried. I don't see any reason to doubt Trump wants to, and will, do this to US citizens, too.

Wow no one believes that. American citizens are kidnapped off the street and sent to Gulags with no trial or due process. I remember when the right care about sh#t like this and the constitution.

What US citizen has been “kidnapped off the street and sent to Gulags”?

First they sent the illegal immigrants to a literal concentration camp with no due process and I said nothing, for I was not an illegal immigrant.

Then they sent the legitimate asylum seekers to a literal concentration camp with no due process and I said nothing, for I was not a legitimate asylum seeker.

Then the President went on TV and said he wanted to send US citizens to a literal concentration camp and I said "don't worry, I'm pretty sure I know how the rest of this goes - he stops there and everything is OK, right?"

Being a citizen means something. I know you and yours don’t know the difference between legal, illegal and a citizen, but they are worlds apart from each other.

Despite your feelings, any noncitizen here in the United States is a guest. And as a guest they need to know that they can be removed.

You must have missed the white house press conference where they proposed sending *American citizens* to prison in El Salvador.

But why? Under what grounds would a random US citizen be sent there?

You need to read history, son. Good luck to you.

Trump is "looking into" removing American citizens. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Sure.

Trump wants us all to be scared. That's why he is telling the El Sal presidente to build more prisons for American-born people.

So you carry your passport with you everywhere, when you are scooped off on a plane to prison without any due process, you will have time to contact your lawyer and have him present it to the court?

If you're poor or have limited resources to fight illegal deportation orders, you should be afraid.

Big Balls and the other teenagers must have effed something up.

Massachusetts-born lawyer received an email from DHS telling her that she needed to self-deport. Interesting that she's an immigration lawyer and received the notice. She even clarified on her Blue Sky that in the app that DHS used to generate the data for these notices, there was NO option to enter an email address for a lawyer, so it wasn't sent because one of her clients entered her email there.

So, yeah. What if you get one of these in error? Do you have the resources and knowledge to know how to fight it? The burden of proof is now on the person to prove their citizenship. What comes next? Will these people given self-deportation orders be declared dead by the DOGE as they have done with other legal immigrants? Will their bank accounts and SSA accounts be frozen?

An accusation that someone vandalized a Tesla seems to be all they need to ship you off to the gulag.
