Revoking an immigrant's citizenship has proven to be a costly and controversial practice over the years, but the Trump administration says hundreds of people deserve to have their citizenship stripped anyway.
The plan calls for ramping up the previously rare denaturalization process as a part of a broader immigration enforcement agenda, expanding a practice President Donald Trump started in his first term.
So far, the Justice Department has moved to revoke the citizenship of nearly 90 people since the start of 2025. By October, the government is aiming to file at least 250 denaturalization cases in federal court.
Under federal law, the government can ask a judge to revoke the citizenship of someone who obtained it through fraud or misrepresentation – such as using a false identity or concealing a disqualifying criminal record during the naturalization process.
At its current rate, the administration is on pace to pursue more denaturalization cases than any other in recent modern American history. By comparison, the Biden administration brought 24 cases over four years, while the government filed 102 denaturalization cases during Trump's first term, according to the DOJ.
Revoking citizenship? They're saying this was because of fraud, but that is inching extremely close to just revoking citizenship from anyone. Hell, I'm sure the fraud stuff is suspect with at leasr a few of those people.
Revoking citizenship from people such that theyre left stateless is a fast track to getting brought in front of the Hague because it violates the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. In fact, this is one of the leadups to a genocide.
The Nazi camps originally started out as deportation camps. When they couldn't find anywhere to send the people from there, the solution evolved into the Final Solution at the Wannsee Conference.
Hey Republicans, if you resent being called Nazis so much, stop doing Nazi shit!
They're both natural-born citizens, their father was an American.
