President Trump is threatening to strip citizenship from individuals, including political opponents like Rosie O'Donnell, with a focus on denaturalization of naturalized citizens. On June 12, he expressed intentions to revoke O'Donnell's constitutional citizenship right, which no president can legally do. His administration is prioritizing denaturalization cases with a memo from the Justice Department, emphasizing national security concerns. The Supreme Court ruled in 1967 that only U.S.-born citizens may lose citizenship voluntarily, which does not apply to naturalized citizens like O'Donnell and others targeted.
On June 12, Trump said he was considering revoking comedian Rosie O'Donnell of her constitutional citizenship right - something no president can do.
The Trump administration wants to pursue more denaturalization cases, though political differences with individuals would not be grounds for denaturalization.
Trump's Justice Department issued a June memo directing attorneys to prioritize denaturalization cases, including people who pose national security concerns.
In 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that under the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, citizens born in the U.S. may only lose their citizenship voluntarily.
