Justice Department targets citizens in new denaturalization push

The Justice Department confirmed Thursday it has begun a new push to strip citizenship from naturalized citizens, assigning multiple denaturalization cases to U.S. attorney offices nationwide. This initiative targets individuals who have already obtained U.S. citizenship, a process that is typically rare. Denaturalization is usually reserved for cases involving fraud during the naturalization process. This marks an unusual expansion of efforts by the Justice Department to revoke citizenship from foreign-born individuals.
