After seeing so many foreigners come into the United States – both legally and illegally – and proceed to trash it like the proverbial strung-out rock star gone wild in a hotel room, many Americans have been left wondering why these people are allowed to stay. Do we really have to tolerate this?
We know that the Trump administration is working on the illegal aliens part. In fact, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had its best month ever in June, booking more than 43,000 illegals into immigration detention centers. This was the highest monthly total recorded since President Trump began his second term.
And, now, we're learning that progress is also being made by the administration on the denaturalization – the legal process of revoking citizenship from foreign nationals who had become citizens through naturalization – front. The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Monday that it had launched its largest-ever denaturalization effort, resulting in 25 individuals having denaturalization actions filed against them in the time period since July 20.
Those individuals have been identified by the DOJ as having taken part in "serious offenses — including attempted first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and aggravated sexual assault of a child."
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche remarked, "U.S. citizenship is one of our nation's highest privileges, and it must be obtained lawfully and honestly." He added, "The Justice Department will continue to use every tool available to protect the integrity of the naturalization process and the safety of the American people.”

“U.S. citizenship is one of our nation's highest privileges, and it must be obtained lawfully and honestly,” said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. “The complaints announced today allege that these individuals secured naturalization through fraud, concealment, or other unlawful conduct— including by concealing violent crimes, sexual offenses against children, fraudulent identities, and other disqualifying facts. Today's filings represent the largest coordinated denaturalization effort in Department history, but they are only the beginning. The Justice Department will continue to use every tool available to protect the integrity of the naturalization process and the safety of the American people.”
Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate added that it "marks the largest denaturalization surge in recorded history" and revealed, "We are moving at record speed to denaturalize those who sought to deceive the federal government and abuse the naturalization process."

To add some context to Shumate's remarks, a record number of 123 civil denaturalization complaints have been filed since January 20, 2025.
While foreigners who have their citizenship stripped from them aren't automatically deported, they do return to a noncitizen status and may then face removal proceedings.
