Agreed. Along with naturalized citizens, citizens born to immigrants are at risk. Also, there’s bound to be a lot of people who are citizens but have relatives who are at risk of being deported.

I have NO DOUBT that if you piss off ICE, your official documents and proof of citizenship will just mysteriously end up in the shredder! Then 'good fucking luck to you' getting replacement documents while you try to survive wherever they ship your ass, former citizen!

I once had a DMV in North Carolina refuse to accept my US passport as a valid form of ID. This wasn't in some small town either; this was a major office in the Raleigh-Durham area. It was also pre-Trump, before the racists became really emboldened.

The people who are going to be targeted by the incoming administration are screwed to an extent they cannot yet fathom.

Stephen Miller said families can be deported together, and denaturalization will be a thing.

Every time there has been mass round ups in history plenty of citizens are still wrongly rounded up as well.

I am a citizen that has relatives at risk to get sent home. Other than my siblings my relatives that can vote went for trump.

I am going to yell at everybody if our relatives with asylum cases get sent home because they thought he wouldn't send them home...

Even worse than getting sent back to their native country is the fear of being stuck in a detention center. I hope your relatives make contingency plans to leave quickly if necessary.
