Justice Department Moves to Denaturalize 12 Individuals for Concealing Terrorist Support, War Crimes, Espionage, Sexual Abuse, and More
DOJ ^ | Friday, May 8, 2026 | Office of Public Affairs

Posted on 05/09/2026 10:33:26 AM PDT by BFW

The Department of Justice announced today that it filed denaturalization actions in various U.S. district courts against 12 individuals accused of serious offenses—including providing material support to a terrorist group, committing war crimes, and sexually abusing a minor.

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.

“Individuals implicated in committing fraud, heinous crimes such as sexual abuse, or expressing support for terrorism should never have been naturalized as United States citizens,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “The Trump administration is taking action to correct these egregious violations of our immigration system. Those who intentionally concealed their criminal histories or misrepresented themselves during the naturalization process will face the fullest extent of the law.”

“This Department of Justice continues to file denaturalization actions at record speeds to restore integrity in our naturalization process,” said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “The disturbing criminal histories confirm these individuals should have never received the privilege of U.S. citizenship. We remain committed to leveraging every tool available under the law to pursue those who obtain their U.S. citizenship unlawfully.”

Well, but what else happens to these individuals though? Because they can still provide material support to a terrorist group, commit war crimes, and sexually abuse a minor.

I take it there are further charges?

As a former biology major, I will never not look askance as this usage of “denaturalize.” (Denaturalization is when proteins change their molecular shape, and therefore function, without changing their composition.)

Somewhat sillier: When I read that union members weren’t charged for a certain crime, I think, “Well of course they weren’t charged; they were unionized!”

While I like this I suspect it’s not exactly easy to denaturalize someone so this is going to be slow going

Van Hollen is racing to get them colorful patterned sport shirts and dates for drinks with him. Photo-op staff are on their way. And free lawyers for “due process.”

If they abuse their own kind I say give them the option of jail or deportation. No need for a trial.
