Denaturalization
Once a person gets US citizenship, it’s hard to lose it no matter what that person does. However, one reason it can happen is if the person committed fraud in order to obtain his or her citizenship, or committed terrorist acts or acts in support of terrorism.
And so we have this:
The DOJ is expected to announce on Friday that it is filing denaturalizing actions against 12 individuals, originally from Iraq, Colombia, Morocco, Somalia, Gambia, Bolivia, Uzbekistan, Kenya, India, China and Nigeria.
Ali Yousif Ahmed, a native of Iraq, is one of the individuals the DOJ says they are taking action against. Ahmed came to the U.S. in 2009, claiming his family was attacked by Al-Qaeda terrorists in Iraq. Ten years later, Iraq asked the U.S. to extradite Ahmed to Iraq, claiming he was facing criminal charges for the premeditated murder of two Iraqi police officers in 2006.
“Upon further investigation, United States learned that, in 2015, Ahmed illegally procured his naturalization, which warrants his denaturalization, because he lied under oath about his criminal and family history when he sought admission to the United States and naturalized as a U.S. citizen,” a document on the denaturalization process and shared with the Caller read.

The Trump administration has been stepping up investigations for this sort of thing. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Getting rid of naturalized citizens revealed to be enemies of America is going after the low hanging fruit. We need to go after the higher hanging fruit, which gratifyingly is happening in Virginia. The DOJ just announced investigations of Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas and Soros backed Virginia Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano of Fairfax County.
Neo informs us that, “one reason it (denaturalization) can happen is if the person committed fraud in order to obtain his or her citizenship, or committed terrorist acts or acts in support of terrorism.”
Arguably, demonstrating in support of Hamas and Hezbollah is an act in support of terrorism.
“Yes, natural-born U.S. citizens can be charged with, prosecuted for, and convicted of acts in support of terrorism. Federal law applies to “any person” or “whoever” engages in such acts, regardless of whether they were born in the United States or acquired citizenship later.”
It’s been said that it only takes one side to make war and the left has been at war with us since Obama. His actions demonstrate that Trump understands we are at war.
At the least a target rich environment!
At the least a very target rich environment!
Sadly, the article does not mention Ilhan Omar.
Here’s hoping she’s somewhere in the queue.
The question with Omar appears to be whether she’s actually a citizen at all. She seems to have lied about her age at the time of her father’s naturalization.
Illan Omar was using the Taqiyya calendar for her age
It used to be easier to denaturalize naturalized US citizens, and on some occasions native-born US citizens have stripped of citizenship. It was of course the Warren Court, in 1958, that invented a constitutional barrier to stripping a native-born citizen of citizenship, claiming that it was “a form of punishment more primitive than torture” and thus barred by the Eighth Amendment. But marrying a foreigner was once enough, affirmed by the Supreme Court as recently as 1950.
In Frankfurter’s dissent he notes that the crime for which the citizen lost his citizenship is punishable by death, which is somehow not as bad as losing citizenship according to the majority opinion.
“But marrying a foreigner was once enough”
That happened to my grandmother when she married my grandfather lol. She was born in the US but you never would have guessed she didn’t get off the boat yesterday. My uncle (their son-in-law) said, “They had her pegged”.
Denaturalization?
What about Unnaturalization?
Day of the Locust, redux?
