DOJ Moves to Denaturalize 10 Convicted Criminals
The department said the cases are part of an aggressive denaturalization effort targeting people who obtained citizenship through fraud or other disqualifying conduct.
- On Monday, the Justice Department filed civil denaturalization lawsuits against 10 naturalized Americans from Mexico, Cuba, Pakistan, Peru, and Poland, alleging they concealed criminal histories during the naturalization process.
- Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the government is utilizing a clause of the Immigration and Nationality Act permitting citizenship revocation for cases obtained through "concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation." The effort aims to restore integrity to the naturalization process.
- Allegations include child sexual abuse, drug trafficking, and healthcare fraud. One Cuban man allegedly submitted false Medicare claims exceeding $886,694 before naturalizing, while a Pakistani man filed multiple applications under different aliases to fraudulently obtain immigration benefits.
- The targeted men face potential loss of U.S. passports and deportation. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated those who "forfeit the right to keep your U.S. citizenship" through fraud during naturalization will be pursued with "every tool at our disposal."
- Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate signaled these 10 cases represent only the beginning, stating the department "refuse to give a free pass to criminals who cheated their way into American citizenship." Civil liberties critics warn aggressive denaturalization risks reducing citizenship to probationary status for vulnerable migrants.
