Associated Press: What the Justice Department’s push to bring denaturalization cases means

U.S. Department of Justice seal

As blogged about here, the Department of Justice has made denaturalizations a priority.  Alanna Dirkin Richer for the Associated Press describes what this means:

 “The Justice Department is ramping up its plans to revoke the citizenship of immigrants who’ve committed crimes or pose a national security risk, according to a recent memo underscoring the Trump administration’s hardline immigration agenda. . . . [T]he public push is raising concerns from advocates, who have accused the administration of trying to use immigration enforcement for political purposes. It’s receiving increased scrutiny after a Republican member of Congress suggested that Zohran Mamdani, the New York City Democratic mayoral candidate, should be subject to denaturalization proceedings.”
