Trump's DOJ Just Started Stripping US Citizenship – Here's Who They are Targeting
Game changing. Next up, Mahmoud Khalil, who definitely acquired his green card, and applied for citizenship, under false pretenses.
[Townhall] The Justice Department is beginning to strip naturalized Americans charged with crimes of their citizenship.

This is part of the Trump administration’s efforts to crack down on criminal migrants colonists. The Justice Department issued a memo on June 11 that details a list of priorities — especially concerning denaturalization.

The memo instructs federal attorneys to "prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence." The purpose is to remove individuals who obtained US citizenship through fraud or misrepresentation. This especially applies to those who "committed felonies that were not disclosed during the naturalization process" or "engaged in various forms of financial fraud against the United States."

"The Department of Justice may institute civil proceedings to revoke a person’s United States citizenship if an individual either ’illegally procured’ naturalization or procured naturalization by ’concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation.’"

The ten categories of priority targets are individuals connected with national security threats, such as terrorism, espionage, or those who illegally export sensitive technology. Other targets include war criminals, those affiliated with gangs, violent mostly peaceful criminals, and human traffickers.

The memo indicates that the Justice Department plans to apply its civil revocation authority more broadly than past administrations.

About 53 percent of the 46.2 million immigrants colonists residing in the US were naturalized citizens in 2022, according to the Migration Policy Institute. Those seeking naturalization are required to go through a lengthy application process. They must typically have been a lawful permanent resident for at least five years, along with other criteria.

The White House does not have the authority to unilaterally strip a naturalized person of their citizenship. However,

federal courts can take such an action after the Justice Department initiates civil denaturalization proceedings.

The law requires the government to prove that the individual illegally obtained their citizenship or lied on their applications. A federal judge would assess the evidence and issue a ruling. In this case, the individual can appeal the ruling. Those subject to such an action are entitled to due process and the right to defend themselves against the charges.
