The Trump administration has dramatically accelerated denaturalization cases against naturalized U.S. citizens, filing papers to strip 17 people of citizenship this month alone. This represents an unprecedented pace in the post-civil rights era—the Biden administration initiated only 64 denaturalization cases over four years, while internal guidance suggests the current administration seeks 100-200 cases per month. Between 1990 and 2017, the government filed just 305 total denaturalization cases; the first Trump administration initiated 168, and the current one is operating at a far greater scale.
