That is part and parcel of gaining citizenship: you can’t be a scumbag criminal
DOJ aims to strip citizenship from hundreds of foreign-born Americans, sources say
The Justice Department is targeting at least 300 foreign-born Americans to possibly revoke their citizenship as part of the Trump administration’s effort to ramp up denaturalization, according to a person familiar with the investigations.
A Justice Department official told NBC News the number was in the hundreds.
NBC News previously reported that the Trump administration was dramatically expanding an effort to revoke U.S. citizenship for foreign-born Americans.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency within the Department of Homeland Security that’s responsible for legal immigration, sent experts to its offices around the country or reassigned staff members to look for possible cases where citizenship could be revoked. The goal was to supply between 100 and 200 potential cases per month to the Justice Department, which prosecutes them, NBC News reported.
Who are these people?
“The Department of Justice is laser-focused on rooting out criminal aliens defrauding the naturalization process,” a Justice Department spokesperson said. “Under the leadership of President Trump and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Department is pursuing the highest volume of denaturalization referrals in history. We are moving at warp speed to ensure fraudsters are held accountable and prosecuted to the fullest extent.”
Such cases of denaturalization have typically been very rare, involving people who concealed criminal histories or previous human rights violations during their application processes.
So, scumbags that the Democrats will surely fight to keep
It’s not clear why the Justice Department has singled out the roughly 300 foreign-born Americans. The New York Times first reported the tally.
Because they are scumbags. I wonder how many of them will be the Somalis who were involved in fraud and given free, cheap citizenship and then refused to assimilate, and demand that the U.S. changes to accommodate them. Be fun if Ilhan Omar was on that list.
