Donald Trump's Justice Department has quietly begun moves to strip 10 naturalised Americans of their citizenship in cases filed over the past month across the United States, officials confirmed on Monday, marking a fresh escalation in the president's hard-line approach to immigration enforcement.
Trump administration steadily widening its deportation net beyond undocumented migrants to include green card holders and, increasingly, naturalised citizens. While denaturalisation has long existed in US law as a rarely used tool for dealing with war criminals and egregious fraudsters, Trump-era officials openly vowed to turn it into a more routine enforcement weapon, particularly against people they say lied about past crimes.
