Nationals from China, India among 17 new US denaturalisation cases
The Trump administration is stepping up efforts to revoke the citizenship of naturalised Americans, with the US Justice Department on Monday filing lawsuits against 17 people accused of obtaining citizenship through fraud or concealing serious crimes. Among those targeted is a Chinese-born resident of the state of Georgia who prosecutors say hid a prior deportation order and immigration history under a different identity before becoming a US citizen in 2006. The announcement
The United States Department of Justice has initiated legal proceedings against 17 naturalized citizens, alleging that these individuals secured their status through fraudulent means or by failing to disclose significant criminal backgrounds. These lawsuits represent a broader push by federal authorities to identify and strip citizenship from those who bypassed legal immigration requirements. Among the cases highlighted is a Georgia resident originally from China, who is accused of using a false identity to mask a previous deportation order prior to obtaining citizenship in 2006. Officials emphasize that these actions are intended to uphold the integrity of the naturalization process. The government continues to scrutinize past immigration records to ensure that all applicants met the necessary legal criteria at the time of their entry and naturalization.
This development underscores a heightened federal focus on immigration enforcement and the rigorous verification of citizenship eligibility for naturalized individuals.
