@lucybeahere @cbarbermd Did she need the documents in order to register to vote?
It was required when I got a Real ID in CA. Also if applying for a new passport, not a renewal.
The Save Act would force women to show a passport or marriage/divorce documents proving citizenship in order to register.

She has every right to. It also appears that JD and Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika, have become very close "friends" just 6 weeks after Kirk's death.

With anti-muslim jingos in charge of US immigration, who is surprised? Cat Stevens was banned from the US for 2 years. He was supposedly linked to terrorist activity, as were a number of muslims in the aftermath of 9/11. The US never explained its decision and allowed him to return to the US in 2006 and beyond. Until now.

@ai6yr I'm afraid we're about to see an increase in this type of group. At DHS, the person in charge of identifying and combating domestic terrorism is a 22 year old man who has worked as a landscaper and grocery clerk.
