US EditionTrump administration aims to strip more foreign-born Americans of citizenship
- On Tuesday, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field offices were asked to supply the Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month for the 2026 fiscal year, reported Hamed Aleaziz.
- President Donald Trump's recent immigration actions include southern border asylum blocks, a pause on asylum applications inside the United States, and a travel ban, and he said earlier this month he would `absolutely` use denaturalization.
- By comparison, between 2017 and this year there had been just over 120 denaturalization cases filed, and federal law limits denaturalization to narrow circumstances including fraud, Sarah Pierce, former USCIS official, warned.
- Experts warned the plan would mark a major escalation, with activists cautioning it could catch people who made honest mistakes, while a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman said `We will pursue denaturalization proceedings for those individuals lying or misrepresenting themselves during the naturalization process.`
- Administration officials framed the effort as restoring integrity to the immigration system and said it looks forward to working with the Department of Justice while Mr. Trump closes loopholes this year.

Now They're Coming for Your Citizenship
When the Trump administration tells you that they’re planning on doing something, it’s best to believe them … as long as the thing in question hurts people rather than helps anyone. Promised roll-outs of a new healthcare plan to replace Obamacare? That’s apparently never happening. Relief for ever-older and more haggard first-time homebuyers? You’re on your own. But if the administration tells you that it wants to target a certain demographic of…
