    And she seethed at the idea that anyone would question the citizenship of a former federal employee with the “whitest name you could have.”

    Couldn’t have happened to a better racist.

    She should count herself lucky that they can’t deport her.

      Yet. That’s why Trump was talking about the Alien Sedition Act. Once invoked, anyone can be deported with no due process at all.

      I am an American citizen living in Germany and I have a name that sounds so German that people regularly joke about it (though tbf, my maiden name does not).

      Five bucks says she was only a contractor or she’d still be taking advantage of the fact that federal employees are notoriously difficult to get rid of - even (especially) if they’re shit at their job.

    she had been flagged after she indicated that she was not a U.S. citizen in response to a jury summons

    She claimed non-citizenship as a way to get out of jury duty??? Bwahahahaahaha! This just keeps getting better.

      Nothing quite like a conservative facing the consequences for trying to avoid one of their very few civic duties. God, what a bunch of fucking parasites.

      So this woman chose to not only not sit on a jury where her racism would be likely to convict an innocent person, but also took herself out of the voting process?

      Can all conservatives be like her?

    Does she know that they plan to deport her grandkids?

    With a last name of Lopez, that is sure to spark a fire in the cockles of Stephen Miller’s black and shriveled heart.
