After The New York Times reported that the administration had identified 384 foreign-born Americans as targets for denaturalization, Fox News host Will Cain asked Vice President JD Vance in an interview, “Could the law lead you to a place where we’d see accountability in the form of denaturalization or deportation from people who come to this country, legally or illegally, and take advantage of America?” Vance responded that the administration would “absolutely” be looking at how to denaturalize citizens and claimed that under the Biden administration there was a “big blurring of the lines between illegal and legal immigration.”
According to the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, denaturalization has historically been rare. It is typically only used in cases in which there is proof that a person was naturalized when they were not eligible, for example if a person misrepresented or concealed information during the naturalization process that would disqualify them from U.S. citizenship.
But in June 2025, the Trump Department of Justice released a policy memo expanding the administration’s “priorities for denaturalization.” The memo not only outlines new categories of immigrants who could be prioritized for denaturalization, but specifically warns that “the Civil Division retains the discretion to pursue cases outside of these categories as it determines appropriate.”
I say we take their citizenship instead. Just imagine if these hatful people were left out. They might for the first time in their life experience real hardship.
Dont worry people. While the nazis did this exact same thing, its different because they spoke German.
There was a time when I wanted peace among all Americans. I now no longer consider members of the Dogey to be American, and want to fight a bloody war against them. They are enemies, who wish to murder the innocent and to enslave.
There cannot be peace in our time, because the Dogey are fundamentally evil. Until the cancers of fascism, elitism, and conservatism is removed, all the good people in America will suffer.
Hopefully, I and many others will live to see a better America. Or Americas, as the case may become.
If it’s either/or, I’ll take justice over peace every time.
Can someone tell me how republicans and conservatives are not terrorists?
Like, legitimately, how do they not cause massive amounts of harm and instill terror in large groups of people?
Stop calling the Republicans. That was the larval stage before they morphed into their final form, MAGA. The term Republican should only be used in a scholarly, historical context.
We need to rebrand the entire conservative movement under MAGA, so at the end, we can abolish MAGA as the genuine active National Security Threat that it is, and sweep up the entire Republican party with it. Conservatives will have to entirely regroup, and rebuild a party from the ground up, under new political/campaign regulations.
They’re not because they defined terrorists as anything but them.
We do NOT have to accept their propaganda. The Dems have always allowed the right to define EVERYTHING for decades. WE have to do our own branding, of both our side and theirs, and then drown them out.
They literally had a sign up at CPAC saying they were domestic terrorists and here we are.
Many are, and they all support them.
We are past the point of doing this peacefully. We all need to wake up and arm up. I really hope I am wrong but we will see come November. Gerrymandering a district to the point of one side or the other really comes at a cost. In reality it make a lot of weak district that can be over turned if everybody gets their lazy asses out to vote. If we do not vote like it is the end of America in the midterms there is going to be violence. I can’t see anyway out of it.
What is this “is going to be” shit? Do you live under a rock?
Are the MAGA idiots still saying they’re only going after people who are in the country illegally?
This is who and what the Republicans and conservatives have always been, at root.
Never believe them when they - or those adjacent to them - start piping up with some horseshit about “true” conservatives.
Also, “take advantage of America” - fuck this asshole. The person doing that most egregiously, and practically rubbing all of our noses in it is the pedo-in-chief and his family. They are self-dealing right out in the open and all of these fuckers should be in prison for not only the prior crimes, but the crimes they have committed just since January of 2025.
no they should be dead
The official DHS twitter account tweeted not too long ago that they want to deport 100 million people. There aren’t that many immigrants in the US in total, naturalized or otherwise. The inescapable conclusion is that they intend to strip citizenship even from natural-born citizens who they decide are their political enemies.
Hard to see how even scotus would find a reason to betray an amendment of the constitution, which they don’t have the authority to do. But they’ve done it for decades on other amendments so we will see. They think the republic is dead already, it’s only us citizens that are still contesting it.
But with the scotus decision to disallow nationwide injunctions, there is nothing to stop the administration, or a future one, from rounding people up illegally and doing whatever with them.
I thought the ramifications of that decision would have been obvious but everyone is still oblivious, I’m sick of explaining it in detail.
Hard to see how even scotus would find a reason to betray an amendment of the constitution
Roberts and his fascist cronies have done it before. Consider what they’ve done to nullify the equal protection clause, the emoluments clause, and much of the 14th Amendment.
Even before, before most of us were born, the 4th amendment was in effect cancelled to a large degree. The 10th obviously has long long been dishonored with an ever more powerful federal government disallowed in the bill of rights, the 5th amendment with asset forfeitures without due process of law. I am forgetting something here too.
This court is just not pretending anymore, but this has been a half century in the making.
8th is long dead
Can’t imagine losing 1/3 of your population would have any larger ramifications elsewhere.
they intend to strip citizenship even from natural-born citizens who they decide are their political enemies.
Yeah Trump is trying to redefine to whom birthright citizenship should apply. He is actually the only sitting president to attend the SCOTUS oral arguments, and he did that over the birthright citizenship executive order. So it wouldn’t be a surprise if they’re including the people they don’t think should have been considered natural born in that number.
Could they start with Elon Musk, Melania Trump and Peter Theil?
How about Vance and his wife?
Trump is only half American too
In the same way that the solution to the Tolerance Paradox is to not tolerate intolerance, such threats to strip citizenship away from naturalised individuals should result in the would-be perpetrator’s citizenships being denaturalised instead. There should be no room for such hatred in modern society.
Conspiring to deprive others of their rights, or actually taking steps to do so, should be a very dangerous thing to do.
I’ll be honest, I’ve had thought experiments of where we go from here once this is all over. I cannot think of anything that doesn’t result in either prolonged right wing terrorism or their projections being practiced on them. I’m not calling for harm, but man, they’ve backed themselves and everyone else into an uneasy corner.
As a trans person with jewish and indigenous ancestry, fuck them all. The entire empire must fall.
I am on team ‘fulfill projections on them’. I don’t want to start a fight, but I will finish it on terms that don’t suck for me and other decent people.
If blood has to be spilled, it should be conservative.
You can take my citizenship, it means nothing to me anymore. But you’ll have to take my Costco membership from my cold, dead hands.
They can’t take the Costco membership away, and it’s valid at Costco locations worldwide!
I’m unironically at the point where I would absolutely vote for the person who promises to exile every Trumper in this country. So…
Say this lightly, because if you look at how someone like Saddam rose to power…it’s starting to look less far-fetched for the orange kid-diddler to pull.
I honestly believe that a lot of higher officials should be hanged for treason. Starting with Trump and working our way down until justice is fully served.
No matter what, it’s going to take decades to undo Trump’s damage and frankly some of it is permanent. I expect no less than the next Dem President to be a full on leftwing dictator. Tear down the border wall, naturalize a shitload of immigrants, pack the court, yank every penny of aid to Israel, shutter every private prison, send the Nat Guard to Bezo’s house, and delete every record of student loan debt.
That doesn’t describe a dictator, that describes a courageous reformer who is taking his country back. Whether he is a dictator or not is determined by who he perceives as his enemies, how he treats them, and how he handles the next election.
and frankly some of it is permanent
Nothing in this world is permanent, including the world itself.
I expect no less than the next Dem President to be a full on leftwing dictator.
I don’t want that, but I do want full rollback of every single action Trump has done, every piece of legislation he signed, every executive order, and every appointment he made, and I want to see measures put in place to prevent someone like Trump ever again gaining power.
You do realize they are fixing elections. There might not be a non republican president again for some time.
I’ll believe 2020 was the last free election in this country.
Guess that I will try to aim for that position, if I somehow get close enough. I have big ideas about UBI, redefining how work…well, works, and how to make political powers more egalitarian. Unfortunately, I don’t think they could be realistically be implemented without a huge amount of force, be it social, political, or militant.
I want the best future for people, but it feels like it can’t happen without being a complete jerk. 😞
There are a lot of foreign corporations operating in the US. Is this push for denaturalization only against humans?
That’s always the case. Paramount is seeking approval for up to 100% foreign ownership:
Remember: America First!
Don’t you dare ask any questions about how Donnie is doing Putin’s bidding or why Saudis own a lot of shit here or why Israeli citizens have healthcare and YOU DON’T!
MURICA! USA! USA! USA!

I’ve been saying this to my naturalized citizens friends since the beginning: They don’t even respect Birthright Citizenship, and that’s for people who were actually born here. They certainly aren’t going to respect citizenship granted by some other administration.
Bottom Line: If you were born somewhere else, they want you out.
Other than native Americans, everyone else is born somewhere else to be honest
If there’s one thing the truly religious hate, it’s people with the wrong Sky Daddy
It’s the same sky daddy. They just don’t agree on the details.
That’s the irony.
Many xtians and not a few Jews have taken issue with me online when I refuse to accept the provincial and presumptuous moniker of “[g]od”, but instead, either point out it’s their god (lowercase), or just use the appropriate name: Jehovah/Yahweh/Allah, because they are all the same, as all of these are the name of the god from the Abrahamic religions. Just talking about “God” with capital-G without pointing out that the god they are referring to is not Zeus or Odin or Apollo, is just accepting their framing.
Neither xtians nor Muslims tend to appreciate people pointing out that they have basically retconned Judaism and forked a new BS (Belief System).
Reminding them that their god is all the same god is not something they want to admit, but also cannot refute.
Exactly. You couldn’t make this shit up…
