U.S. immigration authorities sent an unprecedented mass email urging those on temporary protected status to leave the country immediately. The email warned of potential law enforcement actions resulting in removal unless individuals have a lawful basis to stay. Citizens in Massachusetts, Arizona, and Connecticut also received the email in error. Experts advise citizens who received the email to remain calm as they have no reason to worry about deportation. They recommend collecting documentation, such as birth certificates and passports, to prove citizenship in case immigration authorities approach them. Concerns were raised that citizens could be mistakenly grouped with noncitizens in other scenarios, such as having Social Security numbers canceled. However, some experts suggest ignoring the notice, as it was likely an error on the government’s part. The Trump administration has recently stepped up efforts to deport noncitizens, defying court orders and even considering deporting U.S. citizens convicted of crimes. Overall, experts recommend remaining calm and seeking advice from an immigration attorney if necessary.
