Can confirm. My mother is an immigrant and has always spoken of the awful experience of moving here at 11. My grandparents had zero intention of being Canadianized & they became very insular. As the eldest child of the 1st generation born here, I feel a weird Otherness. I don't fit here, or there.

Attorney General Bonta Opposes Trump Administration's Efforts to Dramatically Expand Expedited Deportations Without Due Process
Expansion of expedited removal is a threat that bypasses due process, denying individuals their right to a fair legal hearing OAKLAND — California Attorney General Rob Bonta led a coalition of 19 attorneys general in opposing the Trump Administration’s legally flawed effort to dramatically expand “expedited removal” into the interior of the United States and put untold numbers of Americans at risk for unlawful detention and deportation without due process. With expedited removal, a deportation can be carried out in little more than a matter of hours or days.
