DOJ Moves to Denaturalize 10 Convicted Criminals

The department said the cases are part of an aggressive denaturalization effort targeting people who obtained citizenship through fraud or other disqualifying conduct.

  • On Monday, the Justice Department filed civil lawsuits to revoke the citizenship of 10 naturalized Americans accused of concealing serious crimes including child sexual abuse, drug trafficking, and healthcare fraud.
  • Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche invoked the Immigration and Nationality Act, which permits citizenship revocation through "concealment of a material fact or by wilful misrepresentation," to restore integrity to the naturalization process.
  • Allegations include a Cuban man, Yoskmaikel Rodriguez Perez, who allegedly billed Medicare for $886,694 through fraudulent healthcare claims before naturalizing, and multiple individuals convicted of sexual abuse of minors.
  • The 10 men face potential loss of passports and deportation. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated those who "forfeit the right to keep your U.S. citizenship" through fraud will face removal.
  • Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate signaled the 10 cases represent only the beginning, stating "many more complaints are coming." Civil liberties advocates warn aggressive enforcement risks converting citizenship into probationary status.
