Trump takes the threat to denaturalize the US citizens

In the past, immigrants who earned the US citizenship could only be taken if they hid their Nazis past, had connections to terrorists or had lied to their application -less than a dozen people per year.

This changed during the first administration of President Donald Trump when he led a campaign to the denaturalization of thousands of US citizens with immigrants – although she never achieved his goals. Last week Trump restarted the efforts and ordered that “reasonable resources” were lodged to restrict immigration as part of his wider plan.

The priorities hidden in his day 1 executive regulations included an operation to enforce a section of the Immigration Act, according to which the government can revoke the US citizenship of an immigrant if it has been “illegally procured”.

The guideline is listed in the order with the title “Protection of the United States from foreign terrorists and other threats to national security security”. It is an indication that the denaturalization will be part of his approach, said Amanda Frost, legal professor and immigration lawyer at the University of Virginia.

“We saw what happened last time,” said Frost. “Many resources were put into denaturalization.”

Trump’s new guideline attracted little attention in relation to the striking commands to start the promised “mass deportation” of the president. In his first week, the President declared a national border emergency. set 1,500 troops on the border, including a combat power; And provided thousands of further law enforcement officers of the federal government to arrest immigrants, including.

But this silent, back office guideline got the supporters from immigrants because his administration was last.

“Since the executive orders were signed, there is generally great fear,” said Gintare Grigaite, a immigration lawyer based in New Jersey who successfully fought against a denaturalization case during the first Trump government. She has achieved calls from nervous customers, even those who have already become citizens.

“People ask all possible hypotheses,” she said. “Is there a legal way for someone who follows them to take their naturalization away? If everything was true, you shouldn’t be anxious. If you have legally received citizenship, you should not be afraid of being denaturalized . “

“Zero tolerance” campaign

During the first administration of Trump, the then general General Jeff Sessions ordered the investigation of 700,000 naturalized citizens to bring around 1,600 cases to the dishes. Denaturalization efforts were part of the government’s “Zero tolerance” campaign, which is known for the persecution of border creepers and family separation.

A spokesman for US citizenship and immigration services or USCIs who checked the applications of citizenship, USA today, referred to the White House, which did not respond to an request for information.

Trump’s initial initiative to examine naturalized citizens was an expansion of an initiative that began under President Barack Obama.

At that time, the Federal Government had changed paper to use digital fingerprints, and officials of the home protection security discovered hundreds of cases in which naturalized citizens had previously been deported or lied through criminal register that could not see Uscis. The Obama government began a review that aimed at denaturalizing every citizen with connections with foreign terrorist organizations.

Obama’s denaturalization examination concentrated

“They ignored the discrepancies of the type of garden in the person’s immigration history,” said Cassandra Burke Robertson, a legal professor at Case Western Reserve University, which has examined Denaturalization campaigns. “The Trump administration has changed this. They added more resources to the program. The guideline was to pursue the denaturalization of everyone who had potential reasons for them.”

This included “discrepancies in the file – even typographic errors or an innocent mistake in the immigration process,” she said.

Studies suggest that the first Trump government has never achieved its goal of referring 1,600 cases for civil or law enforcement.

Irina Manta, a legal professor at Hofstra University, began to build a database with denaturalization cases. She found 168 cases during the Trump administration and 64 as part of the Biden administration in court, which indicates that the efforts may have slowed down, but has not ended in the past four years.

“You would think that naturalization would be final, no matter what people did or not,” said Manta. “The government should not be able to come back five years later and to question it.”

Trump’s approach – which was requested by the 2025 project of the conservative Heritage Foundation – was far wider. Mark Krikorian, Executive Director of the Legal Center for Immigration Studies, said that the casting of a wider network is sensible in search of fraud or incorrect depictions.

“It means rules that they say what they say,” said Krikorian. “In a sense, it must be wide because the entire immigration system was far too poor.”

“Targeted, very political” efforts of the Cold War

In the 1950s, the US government used its considerable authority to deduct citizens from immigrants who considered it as political enemies, workers, journalists or critics of the government, who are accused of being communists, said Frost, the university’s legal professor From Virginia.

“It was a very targeted, very political effort of the Cold War,” she said.

In the two world wars and in the 1950s, around 22,000 immigrants were revoked their US citizenship.

The Supreme Court ended politically motivated in 1967 and decided that the government could only revoke the citizenship of an immigrant in the event of a fraud or the “intentional incorrect representation”.

According to Frost’s research, the US government aimed at an average of 11 natural citizens per year in the quarter of a century before the first office took office from 1990 to 2017.

Most of them had committed war crimes or other atrocities and then lied through their past to maintain citizenship.

“In the first Trump administration, we increased the number of denaturalization procedures quite a bit,” said Burke Robertson. “It is clear that his (new) administration starts where they have stopped.”
