Wow, they created a special unit just for little ol’ me.

The Department of Justice announced the creation of a new special section on Feb. 26, dedicated to stripping citizenship status from criminals who lied about their prior convictions on naturalization forms.
The unit will target “terrorists, war criminals, sex offenders, and other fraudsters” who cheated their way into obtaining citizenship by concealing their criminal histories, according to a statement from the DOJ.
“When a terrorist or sex offender becomes a U.S. citizen under false pretenses, it is an affront to our system—and it is especially offensive to those who fall victim to these criminals,” Assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt said in a statement.
“The Denaturalization Section will further the Department’s efforts to pursue those who unlawfully obtained citizenship status and ensure that they are held accountable for their fraudulent conduct.”
The DOJ says the move was motivated by an anticipated increase in referrals for such cases from law enforcement agencies. The move will join two existing sections within the DOJ’s Civil Division’s Office of Immigration Litigation. The office already handles denaturalization cases and touts a 95 percent conviction rate.
Denaturalization cases require the government to prove that an immigrant’s naturalization certificate was “illegally procured” or “procured by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation.”
In a prominent terrorist denaturalization case, Khaled Elsayed Mohammad Abo al Dahab was stripped of his citizenship. Dahab was convicted of terrorism in Egypt and admitted to recruiting for the al-Qaida terrorist group in the United States.

Omar should be example #1.
Soros needs to be right up there, front and center.
Winning!!!
Good call! My gut tells me that we can fill out quite a roster.
Wow, they created a special unit just for little ol’ me.
Are we tired of winning yet? Nah!
Have a nice day, Omar.
You can just see the hate in those eyes.
All 4 of them!
Winning!
Thank you Mr. President.
Total support for this. Undesirable immigrants should be the target, regardless of immigration status.
Target means don’t waste resources on low priority types who are not causing any trouble.
George Soros is my prime candidate to be striped of US citizenship and deportation to his native Hungary. He helped the Nazi’s seize the property of Hungarian Jews in WW2.
Its more a yearn for the Bern.
Strip Soros’ citizenship. He was a Nazi and a collaborator. That is grounds to revoke citizenship. A prison camp guard living in Cleveland Jon Demjanyuk was deported at an elderly age after being in USA for over 60 years. Send George packing.
