Trump administration targets 12 foreign-born Americans for denaturalization
The cases target people accused of crimes, fraud and terrorism ties, and federal prosecutors face a high legal bar, officials said.
- On Friday, the Department of Justice announced it is seeking to revoke the citizenship of 12 foreign-born Americans accused of crimes ranging from terrorism and child sexual abuse to spying and fraud.
- Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche previewed the administration's denaturalization push earlier this week, stating the effort aims to "disincentivize" fraud and correct "egregious violations" of the immigration system.
- Federal prosecutors face a high legal bar in these cases, as they must prove defendants intentionally misrepresented or concealed material facts during their naturalization process to obtain citizenship.
- President Trump has called for a "massive" denaturalization campaign, marking a dramatic shift from the historical average of just over 300 cases filed between 1990 and 2017, or roughly 11 per year.
