Trump administration launches new unit to strip US citizenship from foreign-born terrorists, criminals

The Trump administration is establishing a new section within the Justice Department to deal with the process of removing citizenship from foreign-born individuals who fraudulently obtained citizenship by failing to disclose past convictions for serious crimes — including terrorism and war crimes.

Story continues below advertisement

The section, which will be within the DOJ’s Office of Immigration Litigation, will be dedicated to denaturalizing those who had failed to disclose they had been involved in criminal activity on their N-400 form for naturalization.

That form includes questions asking whether an applicant has been involved in genocide and torture among other serious crimes, if they have ever been part of a terrorist or totalitarian organization, if they had been associated with the Nazi government in Germany, and if they have been charged or convicted with a crime or served prison time. Targets for denaturalization are those who have made material breaches of those questions.

“When a terrorist or sex offender becomes a U.S. citizen under false pretenses, it is an affront to our system — and it is especially offensive to those who fall victim to these criminals,” Assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt said. “The new Denaturalization Section will further the Department’s efforts to pursue those who unlawfully obtained citizenship status and ensure that they are held accountable for their fraudulent conduct.”

The department has seen an increase in such cases both because of an increased effort by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to root out fraud, as well as Operation Janus — an operation which began during the Obama administration and that identified hundreds of thousands of cases where paper fingerprint data was not entered into the centralized fingerprint database.

Officials have pointed to recent cases whereby the DOJ has secured the denaturalization of terrorists, war criminals and sex offenders. They include:

  • An individual convicted of terrorism in Egypt who admitted recruiting for Al Qaeda in the U.S. He was denaturalized while in Egypt and had his passport taken away from him.
  • An individual who was convicted in Bosnia of executing eight unarmed civilians and prisoners of war during the Balkans conflict. He was denaturalized while serving a sentence in Bosnia.
  • One individual who engaged in sexual contact with a seven-year-old family member and another who sexually abused a minor for multiple years.

Such denaturalization proceedings are not targeted at people who commit crimes after they become citizens, only those who have made fraudulent citizenship applications and left out crimes they committed on that form.

Citizens cannot be deported, but those who have been stripped of citizenship revert back to permanent residency status, which allows deportation or barring of entry in the case of serious criminal offenses.

Yeah, how about that….
I am getting impatient for delicate A.G. Barr to DO something about that or ANYONE for that matter. I am not fussy….. Omar needs to go! That is immigration fraud.

In case anyone is curious as to whether Trump is on solid legal footing, consult 8US Code Section 1182 entitled “Inadmissible Aliens”. Go to Part 3 “Security and Related Grounds”.

There you will find your answer.

Why not ask the f’ing muslums from Pakistain and Bangladesh and Indonesia if they had been involved in the genocide of kuffar in any of their respective muslum sh!tehole states? Or are some genocides more acceptable than others?

Gee, what a great idea (long overdue). Trump should make this office a 24 hour operation. Maybe even direct a rail line to the back door, so they can be efficient in getting rid of the degenerates who never should have been here in the first place. I’ll even volunteer my time, to help in this effort (provided, there’s free coffee and donuts). Maybe the gov could even start selling “Denaturalization Bonds.” You know, to help with the effort. So, let’s get this show going…..

Its now been confirmed that there are at least 22 million illegals in the USA and the true number could easily be 30 million or more.When you add in their children the number climbs to over 40 million. These people are a burden on taxpayer contributing very little but suppressing the wages of American workers,especially those of lower skills. The net effect is they cost the economy TWO TRILLION 500 BILLION annually. Throw them out and we can pay off he national debt, provide vastly improved educational services for our children, low cost medical insurance, housing subsidies for the low income citizens, repair the infrastructure,build factories etc. This is the issue that needs to be fought on every level.

How about charging those who help the scum with aiding and abetting terrorism and other criminal activities? Then we could start jailing some of the Libtard miscreats out there for their crimes.

Trump very remiss in not adding the Palestinian Territories to his “Muslim ban” list. Parents of the Fort Hood terrorist are from Palestinian Territories. Look what their son became: an Islamic murderer.
