The Trump administration is reportedly pushing the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) to pursue denaturalization cases against 384 foreign-born U.S. citizens. This process aims to strip citizenship from individuals who allegedly obtained it illegally, often due to fraud or criminal activities. Historically, denaturalization has been a contentious issue in the U.S., with a significant increase in efforts under the Trump administration, which previously examined 700,000 immigration files. The DoJ's civil division is expected to assign civil litigators from 39 regional offices to handle these cases, indicating a serious commitment to this initiative. Critics argue that this could divert resources from other critical legal matters, such as healthcare fraud investigations. The administration’s memo from last year outlined broad categories of individuals to target, including those with alleged ties to terrorism or gang activities, raising concerns about potential overreach and misuse of authority. The denaturalization process has a long history in the U.S., often influenced by political motivations, and has seen a resurgence in recent years, particularly under the previous administration.
