Reject DOJ's denaturalization plans undermining due process protections.

The Department of Justice's plans to prioritize denaturalization cases against naturalized U.S. citizens are deeply concerning and raise serious constitutional issues. Stripping someone of their citizenship, a fundamental right, through civil litigation proceedings where they are not entitled to legal representation and face a lower burden of proof for the government, violates due process protections. This threatens to create a discriminatory two-tier system of citizenship based on national origin. While safeguarding national security is important, the broad criteria outlined, including vague offenses like fraud against individuals or the government, grant the DOJ wide discretion to target Americans in an arbitrary manner. The potential ripple effects on children who derived citizenship through affected parents are also troubling. Denaturalization was historically abused as a political tool and its revival under this administration, which has reshaped immigration policies through restrictive measures, is alarming. We urge you to push back against these disturbing plans that undermine core democratic values and the rights enshrined in the 14th Amendment. Citizenship must not be continually opened up for revocation based on manufactured pretexts or overreach by an administration with a concerning track record on immigration. Robust oversight and protecting the sanctity of citizenship for all Americans is imperative.
