On June 11, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a memo instructing federal prosecutors to “prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence.” The directive, signed by Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate, elevates citizenship revocation to one of the Civil Division’s top five enforcement priorities.

The Trump administration is framing the expansion as a matter of public safety, with a DOJ spokesperson stating that “those who gain citizenship through unlawful means and endanger our national security will not maintain the benefits of being an American citizen.” But advocates who work with immigrants warn the policy creates a dangerous precedent, effectively rendering 24.5 million naturalized Americans as second-class citizens whose status is subject to perpetual review.

Ilhan Omar, who represented her brother as her husband, may have a bit to worry about. Couldn't happen to a nicer lady.

Already happened in the 50s and 60s when they stripped citizenship from Mafia bosses.

This news is designed to scare 24.5 millions of Naturalized Citizens, obviously to get them to vote Democratic.
Denaturalization is a complicated process, far different for deportation, because the subjects do have full rights to due process.
So no mass denaturalization is even possible!
DOJ may likely denaturalize a few dozens of criminals. So far they denaturalized exactly ONE!
It had been done before, by many administrations, so it is obviously constitutional.
And, it is right to do it in those cases!
Why should people, who obtained citizenship by lie, or any other unlawful action, enjoy the benefit of their crime?!
