The Trump administration is expected to accelerate efforts to target immigrants it says became naturalized citizens illegally.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field offices received guidance on Tuesday requesting that they target 100 to 200 denaturalization cases per month in fiscal 2026, according to the New York Times. That number is up from around 120 such cases in total that have been investigated over the past eight years, according to the Department of Justice.
