The Trump administration plans to file at least 250 denaturalization cases by October, significantly intensifying its efforts to revoke the citizenship of people naturalized in the United States, according to a senior Justice Department official.
In less than two months this year, the Justice Department has filed 29 denaturalization cases targeting foreign-born Americans, whom it accuses of obtaining U.S. citizenship through fraud.
Civil attorneys are actively reviewing additional cases to file, as the department accelerates a pace that has already surpassed previous years: Between 2008 and June 12, 2026, 166 denaturalization complaints were filed, compared to an annual average of fewer than 10, according to Syracuse University's Transactional Data Access Information Center.
This push is part of President Donald Trump's broader and more aggressive immigration agenda, which has gone beyond targeting people in the country illegally, and reveals how federal agencies have shifted resources to prioritize that agenda.
Behind the scenes, the Justice Department has pulled civilian attorneys from various divisions — including those assigned to investigate fraud, which the administration has called another top priority — to pursue denaturalization cases, according to the senior Justice Department official. The cases are also being sent to U.S. attorneys’ offices at a time when many of them are already under great pressure.
