From Rare to Routine: Denaturalizations Expected to Soar Under Trump

Cases spike 600% as the DOJ’s new task force investigates 700,000 naturalized citizens’ files.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has intensified efforts to denaturalize immigrants who have obtained U.S. citizenship, a move that has sparked controversy among lawmakers and immigration advocates. The administration argues that these efforts protect the integrity of American citizenship, while critics warn of potential constitutional violations and political targeting.

The expansion of denaturalization proceedings marks a dramatic shift from historical norms. Previously, revocation of citizenship was pursued only in cases of fraud or national security threats. However, under Trump, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has ramped up investigations, leading to a substantial increase in the number of cases reviewed for possible denaturalization.
