Trump DOJ to denaturalize 17 US citizens in rare move
US President Donald Trump's administration said it would strip citizenship from people convicted of crimes such as healthcare fraud, wire fraud and other unlawful conduct
US President Donald Trump's administration said it would strip citizenship from people convicted of crimes such as healthcare fraud, wire fraud and other unlawful conduct. The US Department of Justice on Monday said it would denaturalize 17 US citizens who were convicted crimes in various courts.
Denaturalization is rare in the US and can only occur in federal court. Denaturalization is only for US citizens who received US nationality via the citizenship process. Birthright citizenship is protected by the US Constitution, however the Trump administration is trying to also revoke birthright citizenship to Americans born to undocumented parents.
