President Trump revives push to denaturalize US citizens

As Kit Johnson has demonstrated in her blog posts, President Trump’s immigration executive orders have lots in them.  Lauren Villagran for USA Today expands on one line of one of the executive orders.

During President Donald Trump’s first administration when he led a campaign to denaturalize thousands of immigrant U.S. citizens. He has rebooted the effort, ordering “adequate resources” be spent to denaturalize some U.S. citizens as part of his broader plan to restrict immigration. Tucked among the priorities listed in one of his immigration executive orders is a one-line reference (Section 3(e):  “Ensure the devotion of adequate resources to identify and take appropriate action for offenses described in 8 U.S.C. 1451 [which allows for denaturalization]”).   The directive is listed in the executive order “Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats.”

Expect denaturalization actions!
