US Moves to Strip 40 Persons of American Citizenship
The effort marks the largest denaturalization push in modern history, with 11 of the 40 cases involving people from Mexico, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced a crackdown to strip citizenship from 40 naturalized Americans, with Attorney General Todd Blanche calling it the "largest denaturalization effort in modern history."
- Authorities initiated proceedings under the Immigration and Nationality Act, alleging defendants procured citizenship by concealing material facts or willful misrepresentation. The 40 individuals, aged 26 to 76, originated from 20 different countries, including Mexico and Pakistan.
- Cases include China-born former Navy sailor Jinchao Wei, convicted of espionage, and Balwinder Singh, accused of using a fraudulent identity. Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate stated, "Every single one of these individuals lied their way into US citizenship."
- The six-week effort surpasses the total number of attempted denaturalizations seen in recent years combined, according to researchers at the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. Such actions, once rare in federal courts, are becoming increasingly common.
- Officials describe these denaturalization cases as necessary to restore integrity in the naturalization process, with the DOJ serving as the lead agency. The department continues pursuing legal actions against individuals accused of serious criminal offenses.
