The Trump Administration Promises the 'Largest Denaturalization Effort Ever'
The Trump administration announced a new initiative to pursue what it calls the largest denaturalization effort in its history. The Justice Department identified 25 naturalized immigrants whose citizenship it will seek to revoke, part of a broader push that has resulted in 123 cases filed in the past year and a half. Critics note that denaturalization is costly, legally complex, and may divert resources from other enforcement priorities.
