Trump administration targets Somali-American citizenship for alleged fraud involving up to $9 billion in Minnesota welfare funds, with about 90 defendants charged, officials said.

  • President Donald Trump's administration is auditing citizenship cases involving U.S. citizens of Somali origin to detect fraud that could lead to denaturalization.
  • Since taking office in January, Trump has pursued a hardline immigration policy involving aggressive deportations, visa/green card revocations, and screening of immigrants' social media.
  • Human rights groups condemn Trump's policies as curbing rights like due process and free speech, while Trump and allies say the policies aim to improve domestic security.
