Justice Department Moves to Strip Citizenship from 40 Criminals in Largest Single-Period Filing Under the Trump Administration

Official excerpt

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services partnered with the Department of Justice in its filing of denaturalization actions against dozens of individuals accused of serious offenses, including acting as an agent for a foreign government, committing voluntary manslaughter, and aggravated sodomy against a special‑needs man. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, a naturalized U.S. citizen’s citizenship may be revoked and their certificate of naturalization canceled if the naturalization was illegally obtained or obtained by hiding important facts or by lying. The charges below were filed over the past couple of months.
