#USPolitics #Citizenship #Denaturalization #DonaldTrump

About a year ago, the Trump administration published a memo expanding the categories of people who could be prioritized for #denaturalization.

Last month, the administration began the process of rescinding US citizenship from 12 people.
And this month, Trump’s Department of Justice has filed papers to strip 17 naturalized Americans of their citizenship.

This pace of denaturalization in the United States is unprecedented in our post-civil rights era.
The Biden administration initiated only 64 cases of denaturalization over its entire four years in office.
In 2008, the Obama administration began something called
"Operation Janus", a program that seemed set up to target Muslim communities in the United States,
but that program hardly netted any denaturalization cases.

We can take an even longer view.
Between 1990 and 2017, there was a grand total of 305 denaturalization cases filed by the government.
And, as one expert told the Washington Post, a number of those cases “involved aging former Nazis”.

Denaturalization, which was used excessively and ideologically up to and including the McCarthy era,
has been used sparingly since a 1967 supreme court decision (Afroyim v Rusk) set a high legal bar for denaturalization.
Since then, denaturalization has proven to be a difficult and costly undertaking for the government.
The institution of citizenship has also been generally revered by successive administrations.

Not so with Donald Trump.
The first Trump administration initiated denaturalization proceedings against 168 people.
And the current Trump administration is seeking to operate in another stratosphere altogether.
In December, internal guidance suggested the administration sought to pursue “100-200 denaturalization cases per month”,
according to New York Times reporting.

The problem here is not the idea of denaturalization.
There are legitimate and specific reasons why someone might lose US citizenship.
The law as it stands does allow for the revocation of citizenship if it was procured by fraud, willful misrepresentation, or concealment of a material fact, among a few other categories.

But many of the categories of people now subject to denaturalization, following last year’s memo,
“are not grounded in statute and are ripe for political abuse given their breadth”,
says the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA).
I couldn’t agree more.

Those now subject to denaturalization, according to the memo,
include any naturalized citizen the Department of Justice “determines to be sufficiently important to pursue”,
any citizen deemed “a threat to national security”,
and any citizen with “pending criminal charges”.

Those are, needless to say, very capacious categories.
And note the pending in the last example.
You don’t have to be convicted of anything.
Simply criticizing Trump may be enough grounds to lose your citizenship, the AILA warns:
“The administration is now turning enforcement into a political weapon that will ensnare people with minor infractions and those who express views critical of the current administration, even if they have not been found guilty of any wrongdoing.”

Surely the vast majority of citizens subject to denaturalization will be immigrants of color to this country,
and this too must not be lost on anyone.

What else should we expect from an administration that has all but ended refugee resettlement to the US except for white South Africans?
What do we expect from an administration that placed Greg Bovino in charge of immigration enforcement?
This same Bovino was recently the headliner at an extreme-right “Remigration Summit” in Portugal.
Remigration, if you’re not into the lingo, refers to plans for the mass expulsion of non-white immigrants and citizens from western countries.

At a D-Day commemoration in France, the US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, used similar language, characterizing Europe as facing an “invasion” of immigrants and claiming that European beaches today “are stormed by different, dangerous ideologies”.

These are small ideas held by small-minded men,
but that doesn’t mean that they won’t cause major trouble for too many people.
Trump and his administration want us to believe that racial tribalism is our only future,
and they’re more than willing to pervert the rule of law to fit their clouded vision.
Forget citizenship.
What must really be denaturalized is the belief that human value is connected to the color of one’s skin.
The fact that I feel compelled to repeat this basic truism is not just a tragedy.
It’s also an indication of how much basic human understanding we’re continuously losing under this administration.

The U.S. government wants to strip citizenship from 384 naturalized Americans — and that's just the beginning. The DOJ is deploying prosecutors across 39 regional offices to massively accelerate denaturalizations, targeting more people in one push than the entire period from 1990–2017 (305 cases total). While fraud is the legal basis, experts warn this is about far more. "The message it sends is that naturalized citizens don't have the same rights as native-born citizens," says UVA law professor Amanda Frost. Is your citizenship actually secure?

Between 2017 & late last year, the government sought to strip just over 120 naturalized Americans of their #citizenship. Such cases were far less common before #Trump was first elected, said Ms. Frost, who has written about the history of #denaturalization. Between 1990 & 2017, the government filed 305 denaturalization cases, an average of 11 per year.

Traditionally, experts in the department’s office of #immigration litigation have handled #denaturalization cases. But the effort to enlist regular prosecutors to pursue these cases could lead to a surge in denaturalizations, which have been rare in recent decades. It also comes just months after #Trump admin officials ordered #DHS staffers to refer upward of 200 denaturalization cases a month to the #DOJ.

Senior #DOJ officials in Washington told colleagues during a meeting last week that civil litigators in 39 regional offices would soon be assigned to file #denaturalization cases against the individuals, according to an official familiar with the announcement who was not authorized to describe it on the record. Two people familiar with the plans confirmed the broader effort to ramp up denaturalizations. It was not clear what led the DOJ to target the 384 individuals.

FBI deploys more resources to
‘dismantle fraud schemes’
in Minnesota

Cash Patel said the FBI believes
“this is just the tip of a very large iceberg”.

Some of those involved in the alleged scheme are being
“referred to immigrations officials for possible further #denaturalization and deportation proceedings where eligible”.

The Trump administration has portrayed Minnesota’s Somali immigrant community as a locus of widespread fraud, much of it allegedly perpetrated during the Covid pandemic.

Last month, Donald Trump ended legal protections for Somalis in Minnesota and accused the state of being
“a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity” under its Democratic governor, Tim Walz.

Somali Americans, Trump has said, “come from hell”,
“contribute nothing”
and should
“go back to where they came from”.

He has also described Minnesota’s Democratic representative Ilhan Omar as
“garbage” and said
“her friends are garbage.”

Omar has called Trump’s “obsession” with her and Somali Americans “creepy and unhealthy.”
