Trump administration temporarily reassigns immigration lawyers to Justice Department for denaturalization cases
The Trump administration is transferring immigration lawyers from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to U.S. attorney's offices to accelerate denaturalization cases against naturalized American citizens. Sources indicate the transfers are being framed as voluntary but experienced as mandatory. The administration prioritizes finding fraud in the legal immigration system despite denaturalization cases carrying high burdens of proof.
