Trump Targets 25 Million Naturalized Americans for Denaturalization

The DoJ issued a June 11th memo on targeting naturalized citizens to be denaturalized for civil offenses such as "concealing facts during naturalization" or criminal offenses. They want to target them with civil offenses because they have less protections in court than in a criminal case. For example, they are not entitled to a lawyer in a civil case. The memo designates denaturalization as one of the top five enforcement priorities for the DoJ Civil Division (see section 5 on page 3). This creates a two-tier system of citizenship, where immigrants are less protected and will face deportation if their citizenship is revoked.
