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.

    The lack of commom decency from these “federal officials” reveals their false claims of holding certain beliefs as their own, rather than just an advertisement to gain entry to these offices. So of course it’s treason when their lies fall on un-groomed ears so they are ‘performing’ as their freedom depends on it. The flippant responses to seasoned congress members - the newly installed beligerant and farsical congress members - the lack of quality acting is only complemented with the actual white supremist beliefs echoed and chanted repeatedly, while kissing up to thier own in the most bizarre fashion of ‘authority’ worship I have seen outside of B-movie dialog.

      Doesn’t watching her speak at these hearings feel like watching a shitty instagram real? Like, where did she learn her fake-ass behavioral cues and gestures?
