New Memo Calls For Denaturalization Of Immigrants Who Committed Fraud To Gain Citizenship

The Department of Justice is now encouraging its attorneys to go after naturalized citizens who have committed crimes by stripping them of their citizenship. And that puts Rep. Ilhan Omar directly in the crosshairs.

A memo issued on June 11 tells DOJ attorneys in the Civil Division to pursue denaturalization for immigrants who pose a threat to national security or obtained citizenship fraudulently by hiding past crimes,” The Hill reported.

But the memo goes even further.

It lists other qualifying offenses and allows attorneys to target individuals who are still facing charges, not just those who have already been convicted. That includes people with “pending criminal charges,” according to the document.
