Elmo muskrat next
Yes, he fails the good moral character requirement miserably and definitely falls under: "migrants who undermine domestic tranquility".
He was also an undocumented immigrant at one point, from overstaying his college visa IIRC.
both him and kimball.
Vance’s wife?
The beard you mean.
Of course! As if that even needed to be asked.
Deport the sofa back to Sweden!
As if Trump actually cares about Melania
Notice the terminology. Working to expand effort means that they are going ahead with that plan. This is not a drill.
It’s been not-a-drill since November 2024.
True, I was just pointing out that this isn't just the republicans saying they're going to do something. That usually doesn't mean anything except that they're testing the waters.

If you have some citizens with real citizenship and other citizens with provisional, revocable citizenship, then you have created a system, both in theory and in practice, with first-class and second-class citizens.
Yet I have a feeling those of us who really were born here are never going to have a citizenship advantage over the likes of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Patrick Soon-Shiong, and so on.
The division already exists in law, look up statutory citizenship vs constitutional citizenship

What else did you think they were building all those massive concentration camps for?
Parties for Elon and friends?
It's a short putt from there to removing citizenship from anyone, for any reason.
Most foreign born Americans. I have a feeling there's already a list of people who can stay. A short one. Populated by billionaire conservatives and eastern European former models.
Don't forget about future models — that crowd likes 'em young, I hear 🫤
There are growing concerns that the DHS effort is more about creating fear and less about successfully stripping citizenship. Even if Americans swept up in investigations aren’t prosecuted or convicted, the process takes a financial and emotional toll; they’d have to hire lawyers and produce documents.
Margy O’Herron, a senior fellow in the liberty and national security program at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School, said the mere threat of denaturalization creates real terror.
“Citizens are afraid that if they do or say something the government doesn’t like — even if those things are lawful and protected by the Constitution — they will be a target,” she said.
Sounds likely to me.
Yep, it would only be applied selectively. They spun this up for Mamdani and the MAGA chuds don't think it'll happen to their mail order brides, so they're all fine with it.
If they go through with it, flood their tip line with calls about Melania and Elon.
Let me guess, Barack Obama gets deported because he's obviously from Kenya
Sigh
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried.
Obama and other blue oligarch servants are perfectly safe. They're not the ones who are actually being murdered and dissapeared under this admin.

I have a very close friend from Venezuela, who became a naturalized citizen in December 2924, after Trump's election, but before his inauguration.
She tells me she's not concerned, because she's a citizen, but they don't even respect Birthright Citizenship, they certainly aren't going to respect any citizenship that was conferred under a Democratic administration, especially Obama's or Biden's.
She's a genuinely good person, and America is a better place with her in it, but MAGA wouldn't agree. I'm really worried about her.
God fucking damn it, you're telling me he's getting cryogenically process and is coming back in 900 years to terrorize my Great^30 Grandchildren?
Does that include his wife?
Sooooo, we're going to start withthe currently arguably most famous one then, Melania?
Take it, please. I've been looking for a "get out of citizenship free" card. This would be a dream come true. I'd finally have a free slot to get dual citizenship somewhere nice. Maybe even somewhere with less fascist pedos in charge.
Being stateless tends not to work out so well. Other countries don't suddenly decide to offer citizenship to those in need.

Straight out of the gestapo playbook.
They are also going after foreign-born adoptions by US citizens.
isn't most of this kids of diplomats?
And ex-pats which are trending younger due to people trying to escape American fascism.

It baffles me that it is even possible to summarily strip citizenship like that.
Like, it would be a lot more reasonable if people born on US soil, only in the future, no longer get citizenship.
But how can it be legal to remove citizenship by redefining the law, and then retroactively stripping people of it that no longer fit the definition? Like, isn't this the same as making a law in 2026 banning smoking, and then going back and jailing anyone who has ever smoked?
Germans did that.
Donald Trump's mother was an immigrant who's first language was Scots Gaelic.
Elon first!!!
Does this include children of Servicemembers who were born off-base?
Based on the article it appears they're targeting naturalized citizens, but as someone who was born in Germany because my dad was in the Army, this is still concerning. Here I was just thinking I only had to fear for my permanent resident husband... I really hate this timeline.
