      You mean that thing that the police get to issue basically at-will to whomever they dislike?

      Is that hypothetical or are you saying that right now, people are being denied us citizenship if they have a speeding ticket? Cause I was pretty sure anything minor like that pretty much wouldn’t count, not sure if things have changed

        Things have changed. One person lost a green card because they got a “too many fish” citation while not fishing, but being with a group of people who were fishing.

        One student had their visa revoked by the US because they were the victim of domestic violence. It’s batshit insane what they current administration is doing.
