After The New York Times reported that the administration had identified 384 foreign-born Americans as targets for denaturalization, Fox News host Will Cain asked Vice President JD Vance in an interview, “Could the law lead you to a place where we’d see accountability in the form of denaturalization or deportation from people who come to this country, legally or illegally, and take advantage of America?” Vance responded that the administration would “absolutely” be looking at how to denaturalize citizens and claimed that under the Biden administration there was a “big blurring of the lines between illegal and legal immigration.”

According to the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, denaturalization has historically been rare. It is typically only used in cases in which there is proof that a person was naturalized when they were not eligible, for example if a person misrepresented or concealed information during the naturalization process that would disqualify them from U.S. citizenship.

But in June 2025, the Trump Department of Justice released a policy memo expanding the administration’s “priorities for denaturalization.” The memo not only outlines new categories of immigrants who could be prioritized for denaturalization, but specifically warns that “the Civil Division retains the discretion to pursue cases outside of these categories as it determines appropriate.”

Anyone calling to strip the citizenship of people, probably doesn't deserve their own citizenship

    So it's getting obvious-enough that people are beginning to glean the future??

    I've been telling people about this dimension of their plan for awhile:

    Once dictatorship's instantiated ( probably the Insurrection Act ), then they'll simply require vow-of-allegance-to-Trump, & anybody who won't commit that, either is conscripted or ICE'd.

    They'll need cannon-fodder for their annexation of Canada & Greenland & Panama & Cuba,

    they'll need cannon-fodder for their Civil War Part2: confederate-vengeance,

    & they'll need cannon-fodder for their imperial-expansion throughout Central & South America.

    ICE's incinerators won't be announced or built until the dictatorship's activated, but will be added to their detention-network ASAP.

    He's going to de-naturalize .. perhaps 1/3 of US citizens?

    at least, it looks like..

    The 1-MILLION deportations per year quota that he put on ICE is their "training wheels".

    Dictatorship's version of them .. won't be so hobbled.

    I wish the left understood that social-pressure isn't the right catgory-of-game, & that they had to be hiring private-investigators to GET the evidence required for convicting the most-corrupt electorate, & then hiring the criminal lawyers required to get those convictions..

    Establishment won't allow accountability to act on itself, either side..

    so therefore that has to be done by true-independents..

    ( the architectural-bug was allowing the election or/and appointing of judges: it isn't possible to have an independent-of-political-manipulation judiciary, when you've got either elected-judges or appointed-judges, & the US's are consistently 1 of those 2.

    Therefore, political-highjacking of the judiciary was baked-in, all along )

    Whatever: maybe after it's happened, then somebody'll believe it to be actual..
