Trump administration launches broad denaturalization campaign targeting hundreds of naturalized citizens
The Justice Department confirmed it has made multiple referrals to strip citizenship from naturalized Americans, assigning cases to U.S. attorney offices across the country. Denaturalization is historically rare and typically reserved for cases involving fraud during the naturalization process. The move represents an unusually broad expansion of denaturalization efforts by the Trump administration.
