DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke citizenship

[Bucky]

The Justice Department is aggressively prioritizing efforts to strip some Americans of their U.S. citizenship.

Department leadership is directing its attorneys to prioritize denaturalization in cases involving naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes — and giving U.S. attorneys wider discretion on when to pursue this tactic, according to a June 11 memo published online. The move is aimed at U.S. citizens who were not born in the country; according to data from 2023, close to 25 million immigrants were naturalized citizens.

At least one person has already been denaturalized in recent weeks. On June 13, a judge ordered the revocation of the citizenship of Elliott Duke, who uses they/them pronouns. Duke is an American military veteran originally from the U.K. who was convicted for distributing child sexual abuse material — something they later admitted they were doing prior to becoming a U.S. citizen.

I applaud the Justice Department for going after fraudsters and criminals. Granting citizenship to people not born here should be done strictly in accordance with the law.

This should create a strong deterrent for criminals who continue to engage in nefarious criminal activity.

Why would anyone want to take citizenship away from someone who commits a crime? Assuming they didn’t lie on their citizenship application, they are no different than I am. That’s why we have jails, tho I believe thst citizenship can be taken away for treason and similar crimes. But what do we do with them if they have no place to go?

Should we take citizenship away from Trump?

Like paying Trump $5m for a special gold card?

If Dems don't make all of these actions by this regime consequential for all of those involved - including those "just following orders" we might as well just sign it all over to the GOP.
