A nonprofit is suing the Trump administration for more information on its plans to identify and pursue denaturalization cases in the United States.

The Trump administration plans to revoke the citizenship of over 250 foreign-born citizens by fall, according to a Justice Department official. The information was reported by CBS News immigration correspondent Camilo Montoya-Galvez.

The Trump administration announced efforts to revoke the citizenship of 17 U.S. citizens accused of immigration fraud, expanding its denaturalization campaign. The move is described as the largest effort of its kind.

The Trump administration is revoking the citizenship of 17 people accused of fraud and other crimes as part of a denaturalization effort. CBS News' Camilo Montoya-Galvez reported on the initiative.

The Trump administration is temporarily transferring immigration lawyers from USCIS to the Justice Department to accelerate denaturalization cases against naturalized American citizens. The effort aims to identify fraud in the legal immigration system, with DOJ officials having shortlisted 385 people for denaturalization charges. Despite high legal burdens of proof required for these cases, the administration has prioritized denaturalization as a key policy goal.

The Justice Department has initiated a new denaturalization campaign, referring cases to U.S. attorney offices nationwide to strip citizenship from naturalized individuals. This move is notable due to the rarity of such actions, which typically occur only when fraud was involved in the naturalization process.
