The Trump administration is assigning denaturalization cases to regular prosecutors, which could lead to a surge of people stripped of U.S. citizenship.

I note that this appears to be targeted based on skin color.

    There is absolutely no difference between naturalized citizens and natural-born ones (except eligibility to be president). If anyone can be stripped of their citizenship, noone is safe from it.

    Reminder: they’ve already publicly advocated for 100 million deportations. There aren’t that many immigrants in the country, including naturalized ones. They absolutely intend to make ‘undesirable’ natural-born Americans stateless, or worse.

    Sadly this is pretty plausible, but I don’t see any such assertion, not even a hint, in the NYT story. Have you got additional information?

        Oh I hold no illusions; November is it. 1000 years of darkness if they lose. And no one is pretending otherwise anymore.

      If you ever get a chance you should attend one of the resistance activism trainings that Pramila Jayapal puts on every now and then. She does a pretty good job of summarizing the history of immigration legislation at the start.

      In summary, she is pretty transparent in the fact that the DNC has never been a friend to immigrants, as evidenced by the fact that most of the tools that Trump is using are things that got originally passed by democratic administrations.

      Don’t expect a democratic establishment to give very many shits about immigrants because they have historically not done so. Remember when Biden was bragging about his deportation numbers? That is half the reason Trump is so committed to this shit (the other half is that Trump is a racist piece of shit, so there is that).

        I’m more concerned with his will be like 2020 when people showed up in overwhelming numbers, only to think all is well and fall flat two years later. This HAS to be a one-two punch of 2026/2028.

    Looks like Stephen Miller feels secure that the public got its scalps from Noem and Bongino, so he will not be held accountable for masterminding turning ICE into the gestapo on meth (well, more meth).

    Look out fellow Americans, he greased up and ready to Nazi around some more.
