U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials focused on denaturalization were sent to offices nationwide, sources say.

The Trump administration is dramatically expanding an effort to revoke U.S. citizenship for foreign-born Americans as it works to curb immigration, according to two people familiar with the plans.

Over the past several months, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency within the Department of Homeland Security that’s responsible for legal immigration, has been sending experts to its offices around the country or reassigning staff members to focus on whether some citizens processed through those offices could now be denaturalized, these people said.

The goal of emphasizing naturalized citizens is to supply the office of immigration litigation with 100 to 200 possible cases per month, one of the people familiar with the plans said. Such cases have typically been very rare, involving people who concealed criminal histories or previous human rights violations during their application processes. The New York Times first reported the quota.

    Was it because she started screaming about how much the DOW is up? (much less than it was projected to be under competent leadership)

      Small nitpick, only because I see it repeated a bunch right now, I am so sorry for being annoying like this please don’t hate me

      It’s the Dow, or Dow Jones, or Dow Jones Industrial Average, or DJI. But it’s not DOW, those initials mean other things.

      Again I am so sorry I hate that I even posted this I really do just mean to help and not be the ahctually person

        TBH with employment down and costs of living soaring I couldn’t care why the DOW is up, the DOW has always gone up, I’m more interested in those Epstein questions she refused to answer in order to scream about the DOW.

          everyone working for trump is just a muppet, under direct orders from trump along the lines of “don’t answer any questions, just talk about how great i am”

          so…DOW. that’s all anyone’s ever going to get
