Months after suggesting he would denaturalize U.S. citizens if he had the authority to do so, President Donald Trump appears to be moving toward that goal as part of his broader immigration crackdown.
According to a Border Report investigation, the number of denaturalization cases has risen sharply under Trump's second administration. A report from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse found that, since May, the administration has filed 33 denaturalization complaints against people who had previously obtained U.S. citizenship, 15 in May and 18 so far in June.
