Trump Administration Expands Revocation of Citizenship for Naturalized Americans
Citizenship Revocation Possible Not Only for Major Crimes
but Also at Prosecutor's Discretion
The Donald Trump administration is expanding measures to revoke the citizenship of naturalized Americans who have committed certain crimes.
According to U.S. public radio NPR on June 30 (local time), the Department of Justice recently instructed the Civil Division to make citizenship revocation one of its five key enforcement priorities.
The Civil Division of the Department of Justice is responsible for national security, terrorism, and immigration issues. As a result, citizenship can now be revoked not only for major crimes such as terrorism, but also if a federal prosecutor determines during an investigation that a case constitutes "other significant matters."
The Trump administration plans to pursue citizenship revocation measures through civil lawsuits going forward.

However, concerns are being raised that the rights of naturalized Americans may be infringed, as defendants in civil lawsuits cannot receive assistance from public defenders, and the standard the government must meet to prove the defendant's wrongdoing is lower.
