   #Trump Admin Aims to Strip More Foreign-Born Americans of #Citizenship

   An official with US Citizenship & #Immigration Services [#USCIS] said it would prioritize “those who’ve unlawfully obtained U.S. citizenship.” [whatever that means]

   The Trump administration plans to ramp up efforts to strip some naturalized Americans of their citizenship, according to internal guidance obtained by NYT, marking an aggressive new phase in Trump’s immigration crackdown.

     …Because the govt must go through a challenging court process, #denaturalization cases have been rare.… #SCOTUS “has repeatedly stated that #citizenship & #naturalization are too precious & fundamental to our #democracy for the government to take it away on their whim. Instead of wasting resources digging through Americans’ files, USCIS should do its job of processing applications, as Congress mandated,” said Amanda Baran, a fmr snr #USCIS ofcl in the Biden admin.

     Under federal #law, people may be denaturalized ONLY IF they committed #fraud while applying for #citizenship, or in a few other narrow circumstances. But the #Trump admin has shown a zeal for using every tool at its disposal to target #legal & illegal #immigrants, leading activists to warn that such a campaign could sweep up people who had made honest mistakes on their citizenship paperwork & sow fear among law-abiding Americans.

     The guidance, issued on Tuesday to #USCIS field offices, asks that they “supply Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month” in the 2026 fiscal year. If the cases are successful, it would represent a massive escalation of #denaturalization in the modern era, experts said. By comparison, between 2017 & this year to date, there had been just over 120 cases filed, according to the #DOJ.
