Trump admin steps up efforts to strip citizenship of foreign-born Americans

The Trump administration plans to aggressively expand efforts to strip some foreign-born Americans of their U.S. citizenship, according to a recent memo from the Department of Justice (DOJ). Past denaturalization efforts focused on people who fraudulently obtained citizenship. However, under the new initiative, a DOJ official wrote, the government will “maximally pursue” the removal of naturalized citizens who run afoul of the law.
