Justice Department Moves to Strip Citizenship from 40 Criminals in Largest Single-Period Filing Under the Trump Administration
https://www.justice.gov ^ | October 05, 2026 | Office of Public Affairs

Posted on 10/06/2026 6:55:18 AM PDT by Red Badger

The Department of Justice announced today that it has filed denaturalization actions in multiple U.S. district courts against 40 individuals accused of serious offenses, including acting as an agent for a foreign government, committing voluntary manslaughter, and aggravated sodomy against a special‑needs man. Filed between Aug. 21 and Oct. 2, 2026, these complaints represent the largest volume of complaints submitted in a single period under the Trump administration.

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, a naturalized U.S. citizen’s citizenship may be revoked, and certificate of naturalization canceled, if the naturalization was illegally procured or procured by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation.

“Today’s announcement marks the largest denaturalization effort in modern history,” said Attorney General Todd Blanche. “From an individual convicted of espionage to others convicted of sexual offenses against minors, these defendants concealed critical facts from the U.S. government and represent serious criminal offenders. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Justice will continue to employ the denaturalization process to maintain our national security and protect the American people.”

“Every single one of these individuals lied their way into U.S. citizenship,” said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “This administration will continue to pursue the largest denaturalization effort in department history to restore trust and integrity in U.S. citizenship. Our message is clear: the United States will not tolerate deception in the naturalization process.”

Red, It’s a start, I guess, but I’d love it if they did this 10,000 more times! *sigh*

Here is the very first line of the oath of allegiance...

“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen”

I would imagine at least 75% of all naturalized immigrants in the past 30 years could have citizenship stripped based off of this part of the oath alone.

Good. Get them out of our nation. If their home nations refuse to take them back, send them to Africa.

“On September 29, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump administration to resume ‘third-country’ deportations.”

The DoJ announced de-naturalization against 40 foreigners who lied and
committed crimes of fraud or concealment during the application process.
<><>Lying during the naturalization interview
<><>taking the citizenship oath while ineligible
<><>crimes of illegal procurement.

The naturalized types are also accused of serious offenses against the US:
<><>acting as an agent for a foreign government,
<><>voluntary manslaughter,
<><>aggravated sodomy
<><>doing theft, fraud, or violent crimes after receiving citizenship.


Legal Rules for Revocation
• Only a federal judge can revoke citizenship through a process called denaturalization.
• govt has a heavy burden of proof to show “willful misrepresentation” or “illegal procurement.”

Denaturalization is a complex procedure.

You cannot expect this number to grow too much.

Deporting illegals is the simplest way ad could be done in masse.
Stripping permanent residents of their Green Cards is harder, but still doable.

Denaturalization is really hard, so 40 is actually big number.

“Denaturalization is a complex procedure.”

Hanging isn’t.

That sounds like a letter to Congress and SecState to make the denaturalization process EASIER.

This is where we should focus. Deport Naturalized, legal and illegal immigrants who
1) Give aid and comfort to terrorist organizations (eg HAMAS) and enemies of the US.
2) Murder, rape....DUI, Drunk & Disorderly
3) Apply for welfare, benefits
4) Lie on Visa, other documents.

Don’t waste time or money chasing after illegals who work hard, take care of their family, sit beside us in church.
Be practical.
