Naturalized citizens are increasingly concerned about being targeted in the Trump administration's strict immigration policies. Following a crackdown that has primarily affected immigrants without legal status, recent directives signal a shift towards prioritizing denaturalization. The Justice Department's Civil Division has identified denaturalization as a key issue, with a broad scope including individuals who may pose security risks or have been involved in corruption. This raises fears among those engaged in political activism or disfavored speech that they could be included in future actions.
In recent weeks, naturalized citizens are beginning to worry that after Trump has targeted immigrants lacking legal status, temporary status holders, and permanent residents, they're next.
A memo issued by Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate cited "prioritizing denaturalization" as one of five top issues for the Justice Department's Civil Division.
