US strips citizenship from couple in trade theft case, part of Trump immigration push - Reuters

The Trump administration has revoked citizenship from a couple in connection with a trade theft case, marking an escalation of its immigration enforcement agenda. The move represents a rare use of denaturalization—the legal process of stripping citizenship from naturalized citizens—as a tool in both criminal and immigration enforcement. Denaturalization has historically been reserved for cases involving fraud during the naturalization process itself, making this application to a trade-related offense a notable expansion of the administration's authority. The case signals how the White House intends to broaden grounds for removing citizenship beyond traditional immigration violations. It reflects the Trump administration's stated priority of aggressive enforcement across multiple categories of federal crime and immigration policy.
