[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“The Denaturalization Section will further the department’s efforts to pursue those who unlawfully obtained citizenship status and ensure that they are held accountable for their fraudulent conduct,”

if you unlawfully obtained citizenship you should be naturalized. Not sure why this is controversial [/quote]

How the heck did people "unlawfully" obtain citizenship status? This is not like teens with fake IDs churned out by some mill. Takes years to obtain citizenship. There's even a test, guessing Trump would need to pay someone to sit for it. [/quote]

If you didn't include something on your application that would have disqualified you from citizenship if known at the time, the citizenship is unlawfully obtained.  There are certain crimes and convictions that make one ineligible for citizenship.  That's the law on the books right now.  Everything wasn't always as digitized as it is today.[/quote]

This reeks of desperation. Who are all these folks with their illegally obtain citizenship? What have they done to you?[/quote]

Under the Obama administration, according to officials who were there, the targets of denaturalization investigations were usually human rights and national security cases — cases in which someone hadn’t just lied to the government on a naturalization application but had covered up involvement in war crimes or donations the US would consider “material support for terrorism.”

But toward the end of the Obama administration, and going into the Trump administration, the government started filing denaturalization suits against people who’d committed other crimes that hadn’t been included on their naturalization applications.

It started with people who had been convicted of sex crimes against children — unsympathetic cases to most Americans, and people who, if they’d included the crimes on their citizenship applications, might well have gotten rejected for not having the “moral character” to become US citizens. In 2015, the government filed to denaturalize a man who’d failed to disclose a conviction for aggregated sexual assault of a child when he applied for citizenship in 1996. (The administration won the case in 2017.)

In November 2017, the government went a step further: It sued to denaturalize five men who had each been convicted of sexual crimes against children after they had been naturalized — because those convictions had included criminal activity stretching back before their naturalizations.
