Trump Admin Strips Citizenship from Fraudsters

0:00On March 27, the Justice Department under the Trump administration is stepping up efforts to strip U.S. citizenship from people who got it by lying or hiding crimes. Officials say this marks a bigger push on denaturalization cases, targeting those who weren't eligible when they naturalized. Recent core rulings show the action and motion. A Ukrainian man lost his citizenship after hiding involvement in smuggling over 1,000 firearm parts starting in 2011, plus housing. Fraud, he naturalized in 2016 but got convicted later. In another case, a Cuban woman in Florida had her citizenship revoked for taking part in a Medicare scam before becoming a citizen in 2017. She faced prison time and had to pay back over $6 million. Legal experts point out these cases used to be pretty rare but have picked up steam lately. They go through civil courts where the government has to show the citizenship was gotten illegally or through deliberate lies.

1:00Prosecutors have also filed to revoke citizenship from 11e's man accused of a fake marriage to speed up his process, including related passport. Fraud, this all ties into work with immigration enforcement and homeland security investigators. As reviews keep going, expect more of these cases to surface, ensuring citizenship goes only to those who qualify fairly. That wraps U.S. News today brought to you with AI.
