The Department of Justice released a memo, published on June 11, that could strip some Americans of their citizenship, reports The Guardian. The memo instructs attorneys in the department to conduct proceedings to revoke a person’s citizenship in the event they have committed certain crimes.
The memo says if someone’s citizenship was “illegally procured” or procured “by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation,” attorneys in the department should work to revoke their citizenship.
The memo references 25 million U.S. citizens who were born abroad and subsequently immigrated to the country. It also lists 10 categories for denaturalization. Among the crimes that could case someone to lose their citizenship – national security violations and committing acts of fraud.
The move gives U.S. attorneys a wider berth to decide when to pursue this tactic and was recently used in the denaturalization of Elliott Duke, originally from the U.K., who was convicted for distributing child sexual abuse material.
Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate, who authored the memo, said the move will be among the agency’s top priorities.
“The Civil Division shall prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence,” he said.
The memo says civil litigation will be used in order to revoke citizenship in certain cases. In this type of litigation, the individual facing denaturalization is not entitled to a government-appointed attorney. They can, however, hire their own council.

Start with Ilhan Omar, a worthless grifter.
The KISS principle is a wonderful thing.

Soroznaxi finally sent packing soon?
We can certainly hope.
SOUNDS LIKE OMAR IS IN THE CROSS HAIRS.
YIPPEEEEEE !
Ilhan Omar, please pick up the white courtesy phone...
Him too!

Excellent.

More difficult than the article suggests. The crime committed will be legally irrelevant. The DOJ must show the naturalization process itself was tainted. It is very possible for a naturalized citizen to be honest and forthright in obtaining citizenship, and then murder someone in cold blood the day after their naturalization ceremony.
In that case the new citizen could be executed, but not lose citizenship.
And don’t forget to add Zohran Mamdani to the list.
California will reclassify drunk driving by illegals to “confused lane control” and designate it as an infraction.
Yes!
Very.
Wonderful idea.
Here’s hoping!
