The Trump government has taken new decisions on immigration in America

The administration led by Donald Trump is reportedly considering revoking the citizenship of certain foreign-born individuals who became US citizens through legal naturalization processes. This move is part of a broader effort to tighten immigration controls.

Naturalization allows foreign nationals to obtain US citizenship after legally residing in the country for several years, securing permanent residency, demonstrating English proficiency, and maintaining good moral character. However, citizenship can be revoked if applicants are found to have provided false information or engaged in fraud during the application process.

According to The New York Times, the number of naturalized citizens in the United States currently stands at around 26 million, with nearly 800,000 people granted citizenship last year alone. Reports suggest that internal directives have been issued to identify individuals involved in fraud and revoke the citizenship of at least 100 to 200 naturalized citizens per month starting in 2026.

Legal experts have raised serious concerns over setting numerical targets for citizenship revocations, warning that such an approach could unfairly penalize individuals who made unintentional errors in their applications. Officials, however, insist that the primary focus remains on deporting drug traffickers, violent criminals, and financial offenders.
