"The justice department has already identified 384 foreign-born US citizens, whose citizenship it wants to revoke and will begin the process in the coming weeks, according to the New York Times."
"Experts say that it opened the door for the Trump administration to continue pursuing its mass deportation agenda."
"A top justice department official, Francey Hakes, said the 384 people represent the first wave of cases that they intend to pursue."
"In the US, when a person is denaturalized, they return to the status they held before obtaining citizenship."
The Trump administration is pushing the justice department to pursue denaturalization cases against 384 foreign-born US citizens. This process aims to strip citizenship from individuals who illegally obtained it, including those who lied to officials or committed crimes. The justice department has previously filed a memo to target denaturalization nationwide, indicating a broader agenda for mass deportation. Senior officials have assigned civil litigators to handle these cases, marking a significant increase in denaturalization efforts compared to previous years.
