Trump’s justice department issues directive to strip naturalized Americans of citizenship for criminal offenses (www.theguardian.com)

The Trump administration has codified its efforts to strip some Americans of their US citizenship in a recently published justice department memo that directs attorneys to prioritize denaturalization for naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes.

The memo, published on 11 June, calls on attorneys in the department to institute civil proceedings to revoke a person’s United States citizenship if an individual either “illegally procured” naturalization or procured naturalization by “concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation”.

At the center of the move are the estimated 25 million US citizens who immigrated to the country after being born abroad, according to data from 2023 – and it lists 10 different priority categories for denaturalization.

According to the memo, those subjected to civil proceedings are not entitled to an attorney like they are in criminal cases. And the government has a lighter burden of proof in civil cases than they do in criminal ones.

Edit: According to the Miami Herald, it depends on where you live:

The Supreme Court’s ruling means the judges’ injunctions blocking Trump’s executive order only affect the jurisdictions where immigrant groups filed their lawsuits — leaving the rest of the country, including Florida, subject to the president’s citizenship order. The turn of events is likely to lead to more federal lawsuits, including a class action case brought by the American Civil Liberties Union in New Hampshire on Friday.

Women find it near impossible to prove discrimination and sexual abuse in the workplace as it is. You really think it's gonna be hard for a bunch of old men to wantonly decide that a woman "knew she was lying when she made those claims".

Do yourself a favor and read the transcripts and articles from the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings and some of the despicable things that were said about Anita Hill and everything that was done to discredit her and accuse her of lying.

Hell, you don't even need to go that far back. Just look at how many ways people called Christine Blasey Ford a liar. She put herself through hell and still to this day lives in fear for her life because of toxic evil right wingers. And all for nothing as Kavenaigh now sits happily on the supreme court handing Trump win after win against the American people and shitting all over the constitution.

And just how many women were silenced before one was able to bring Harvey Weinstein to justice??

You need to open your eyes and realize the world you live in. Trump's justice department will use whatever they can to deport as many immigrants as possible. They have shown without any shadow of doubt that they care nothing for the legal status of those immigrants.

And how many of those were convicted of filing false claims?

You really are quite stupid.

Yeah, you make a dumb argument and prove yourself wrong. But I'm the stupid one.

You came in here, read the title and nothing more. Posed a scenario and asked if you had understood it correctly.

When you are then informed that you did not understand it correctly, you proceed to be upset with me because you couldn't be bothered to read the article you commented on.

Of course Trump is trying to deport as many immigrants as he can. Isn't that his entire campaign for the last 12 years? I don't think anyone is particularly surprised. I have no doubt that Trump will pursue any avenue he can to achieve his goal. That still doesn't change that you did not understand the article, or the memo correctly if you think filing a charge that is unable to reach conviction is enough grounds to deport according to the memo. You have every right to worry about it. But that's not what the memo says.
