DOJ expands denaturalization drive targeting hundreds of naturalized Americans

The Justice Department is expanding a denaturalization program to potentially revoke citizenship from hundreds of foreign-born Americans, with USCIS directing 100–200 potential cases per month to DOJ for prosecution. While denaturalization has been rare historically (about 102 cases in four years), the Trump administration is pursuing what officials describe as the highest-volume effort to root out fraud and enforce immigration policies, though it’s not yet clear why this roughly 300-person group has been singled out.
