Until now this would have been a stupid question - this is my home. But we’re in a strange timeline. My background is I was born in the UK, met first husband, married, got green card, that went tits up, divorced, met husband 2, found forever love, married, naturalized in 2021. Have my passport and everything.

It’s my dad’s birthday, and he lives in the UK. I want to go back and celebrate, but I’m nervous about reentry into the US. I naturalized during the Biden presidency, and I am a Democrat, I feel nervous that I have a target on my back. I have a home and pets here. Am I ridiculous for worrying or should I be cautious about leaving right now?

          There have also been multiple articles about administration looking for ways to denaturalize citizens. They may be looking for a victim to try it out on.

        That’s just what gets the most media because pretty white women getting harassed by ICE will get a lot more clicks than all the brown skinned people getting harassed by ICE

      immigration raids snag U.S. citizens, including Native Americans

      Amazing. Where are they going to deport them to, the actual state their tribe were from before they were forced out of there and onto a barren reservation?

      I know that they’re probably deported to El Salvador because E.S. made bitcoin their national currency.

        It looks like it no longer is because it was a failure. I bet they still have a way to launder bribes through their system though

        In December, 2024, El Salvador, in an agreement for a $1.4 billion loan from the IMF, agreed to reduce bitcoin purchases, removed the mandatory acceptance of Bitcoin requirement on merchants, will no longer accept tax payments with the asset, and will wind-down its involvement in the Chivo wallet.[77][78]
