President Donald Trump’s plan to supercharge denaturalizations of foreign-born Americans has bumped up against the realities of the legal system—and the protections it affords U.S. citizens.
Trump, 79, has vowed to make denaturalization a priority, with the Department of Justice compiling a list of 385 foreign-born Americans it wants to target for denaturalization and pressuring attorneys to accept transfers from other departments to work on the cases.
The administration has filed 35 cases since the start of Trump’s second term, and says it’s “laser focused” on rooting out fraud in the naturalization process.
