Naturalized US citizens are reporting that the DHS website is listing them as ā€œnot a citizenā€.

FromĀ Funmilayo Celestina Ekundayo:

So i just got this message when i attempted to update my voter registration.

This is a lie. I became a naturalized citizen in 2005. Drove all the way to Memphis Tennessee for the ceremony.

I have voted in 2 elections; i have an American passport I’ve traveled with, and i have gone to the Department of safety and homeland security to update all information, last time i did was 2 years ago when i needed a copy of my social security card.

So, a warning to all naturalized citizens inTennessee , check your status now!!

Something is happening.
*update*
I have confirmed others that are having this issue. Folks, this is Not a drill!!
Check your statuses.
*update 2*
Still trying to find answers. After calling the Department of homeland security and safety, i was told by the representative that he didn’t know what was happening and would like to refer me to an ā€œimmigration officerā€. The wait time is 57 minutes. The office closed in 17 minutes.
I will try again on Monday.
Until then, i am taking my passport with me Everywhere!! EVERYWHERE!!!

This is not a drill.
