She did it all wrong. She should have met Trump stated her opinion against the ban and then handed in her resignation. Instructing Justice department lawyers not to make legal arguments defending Trump's exec orders on refugees was out of line

Out of interest, how did they know? Presumably s/he used their US passport to enter the US - were they questioned about citizenship status, or was it because they used the NZ passport at the other end? |
Re: yep it's already started!
US passports show a persons country of birth. A naturalized US citizen should never use the passport of their previous country. The INS don't like it

A Kiwi mate got detained at the airport and told off for being a dual US citizen and that this will be a "warning", whatever that meant...but a few hours were wasted being questioned for reason of trip.
This is just moving the goalposts and it smacks to high heaven of fascism.

It's a lot of money, I know, and I fully understand why you don't want to become a citizen of the US under the current climate, but then again, the US is so much more than the mentally defective twunt who is temporarily at the helm. |

I wouldn't do it, There are certain rules about using a passport other than a US one that could possibly cause problems with the INS.
travel.state.gov specifically states "Use of the foreign passport does not endanger U.S. nationality." I appreciate that, at this particular point in time, CBP isn't necessarily too concerned about what the law actually says, though. Still, the Supreme Court was fairly unequivocal: "Congress has no power under the Constitution to divest a person of his United States citizenship absent his voluntary renunciation thereof." I knew a guy who had his green card confiscated at the US border because they found out he had been living and working in Canada. |
Re: yep it's already started!
I am a bit more keen on getting Canadian citizenship so I have a back up if the US ever gets too insane.
Only thing that keeps me is the fairly hefty fee attached. But getting it would mean being more secure in Canada. |
