DOJ issues directive to strip naturalized citizens of citizenship

The Trump administration has codified its efforts to strip some Americans of their US citizenship in a recently published justice department memo that directs attorneys to prioritize denaturalization for naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes.

The memo, published on 11 June, calls on attorneys in the department to institute civil proceedings to revoke a person’s United States citizenship if an individual either “illegally procured” naturalization or procured naturalization by “concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation”.

Right now it appears to be focused on naturalized citizens who committed serious crimes, but we certainly seem to be approaching an America where a "serious crime" is whatever the Regime says it is.
