DOJ moves to strip citizenship of 12 people amid denaturalization push
The Justice Department moved to strip a dozen people of naturalized citizenship, a once-rare practice that the Trump administration has increasingly used.
On May 8, federal prosecutors announced denaturalization actions filed in federal court against 12 people they accuse of offenses ranging from supporting terrorist groups and committing war crimes, to sexually abusing a minor.
Between 1990 and 2017, there were an average of 11 denaturalization cases per year. In President Donald Trump’s first term, that increased to around 25 cases annually.
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, federal officials can revoke a naturalized U.S. citizen’s designation if they weren’t eligible and didn’t meet requirements when they were granted citizenship. Typically, this is based on officials accusing the person of fraud, deceit or misrepresenting information when they obtained citizenship.
