The Trump administration on Friday announced a major expansion of its denaturalization campaign targeting foreign-born American citizens accused of fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship.
The Justice Department unveiled denaturalization cases in federal courts across the country against roughly a dozen U.S. citizens born overseas. Officials said they had committed serious crimes or immigration fraud, or had ties to terrorism.
The announcement represents a dramatic increase in the federal government's use of denaturalization, a lengthy and complicated legal procedure that has rarely been invoked by prior administrations. Between 1990 and 2017, for example, the U.S. government filed just over 300 denaturalization cases — or an average of 11 per year.
The group of naturalized U.S. citizens whose citizenship the Justice Department is now seeking to revoke includes immigrants from Bolivia, China, Colombia, Gambia, India, Iraq, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Somalia and Uzbekistan.
Among those targeted by the denaturalization crackdown are a Colombian-born Catholic priest convicted of sexually assaulting a minor; a man born in Morocco with alleged ties to al Qaeda; a Somali immigrant who pleaded guilty to providing material support to al Shabaab, a U.S.-designated terrorist group; and a former Gambian police officer allegedly involved in war crimes.
The group also includes individuals who allegedly used false identities to apply for immigration benefits and a man who allegedly entered into sham marriages to commit immigration fraud.
In a separate announcement Friday, the Justice Department said it was also seeking to denaturalize Manuel Rocha, a former American diplomat who admitted to being a Cuban spy as part of a high-profile criminal case.

Good.
Precisely.
I voted for this.
I advoctae that Ilhan Omar be completely denaturalized.
She is a completely unatural American.
An organizer of Somali based fraud, a marriage of convenience t9 her brother for purposes of obtaining a green card, siphoning off millions from her fellow Somalian fraudsters, and standing for a hate America aganda to establish a World Wide Caliphate.
Denatiralization and Deportation is deserved. SHe is guilty of espinage, a capital crime.
Time to hold her accountable.
Major expansion? You have a dozen cases when it was an average of 11 a year. More like statistical variation.
Congrats CBS. You might win the annual Goebbels' Propaganda Deception award....
The entire ‘squad’.
HOORAY Trump administration!
so shameful and worthless that so few people were dealt with in times past. Might as well be zero. This system isn’t broken— it doesn’t exist
Funny how the same folks against this, want you to repay the IRS (their slush fund) back, with interest, if you messed up your taxes - unless you’re Al Sharpton, anyway...
As a naturalized citizen from 1970, I support this 100%.
Criminals must pay penalty.
This means YOU, Omar the brother-£¥<&€} !!
Good. Throw these invading criminal bums OUT! Deport them ALL!
Send the turds back to their s holes.
“foreign born = American citizen” A tell for a pack of lies.
If they lied on their naturalization form, they are illegals and not naturalized. Deport them.
