"President Donald Trump said on Sunday he would "absolutely" denaturalize certain Americans, revoking the citizenship of some "criminals," if he had the power to do so. "We have criminals that came into our country and they were naturalized maybe through [President Joe] Biden or somebody that didn't know what they were doing," Trump said on Sunday in answer to a reporter's question. He added, "If I have the power to do it -- I'm not sure that I do, but if I do -- I would denaturalize, absolutely.""
"Trump also doubled down on his anti-immigrant rhetoric as he criticized people from Somalia who've been living in the United States and threatened his administration would pause new asylum claims for "a long time." "No time limit, but it could be a long time," Trump said when asked how long he planned to enact a pause. He added, "We don't want those people. Does that make sense? You know why we don't want them? Because many have been no good and they shouldn't be in our country.""
President Donald Trump expressed intent to denaturalize certain Americans and revoke the citizenship of individuals he labeled criminals if he possessed legal authority. He asserted that some criminals were naturalized possibly under President Joe Biden or others who "didn't know what they were doing" and conveyed uncertainty about existing power to denaturalize. He criticized people from Somalia living in the United States and signaled a plan to pause acceptance of new asylum claims for an indefinite, potentially long period. He characterized many of those individuals as "no good" and stated they should not be in the country.
