Trump Justice Dept. Established Office to Denaturalize Immigrants

The Justice Department said Wednesday that it had created an official section in its immigration office to strip citizenship rights from naturalized immigrants... Critics say that the administration’s desire to prioritize denaturalizations underscores the idea that naturalized citizens have fewer rights than those born in the United States, and that immigrants should not assume that they cannot be deported even if they go through the naturalization process.

Stephen Miller, the White House aide who has driven much of President Trump’s immigration policy, said denaturalization could be used as part of a broad pushback on immigration... Some Justice Department immigration lawyers have expressed worries that denaturalizations could be broadly used to strip citizenship. - NY Times
