So now naturalized citizens are on the chopping block. Trump wants to revoke citizenship for crimes. And you know this will be: show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.
For all the MAGA who swore the only people who Trump was going to deport were violent illegal immigrants: how do you explain this.
The memo claims such efforts will focus on those who are involved “in the commission of war crimes, extrajudicial killings, or other serious human rights abuses … [and] naturalized criminals, gang members, or, indeed, any individuals convicted of crimes who pose an ongoing threat to the US”.
The directive gives justice department attorneys wider discretion on when to pursue denaturalization, including in instances of lying on immigration forms, cases where there is financial fraud or medical fraud against the US or against private individuals; and cases referred by a US attorney’s office or in connection with pending criminal charges.
