Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Wednesday that the Justice Department will prioritize efforts to revoke the citizenship of naturalized Americans accused of obtaining it fraudulently, signaling a major expansion of denaturalization cases as part of the Trump administration's broader immigration crackdown.
"We are on track to surpass the number of denaturalization filings the Biden administration submitted in four years, we're going to pass that, I think, in about a week," Blanche said during his remarks at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix, which gathered border-security officials, contractors and immigration enforcement personnel. "This is another way that we're able to deal with border security."
