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.”
Could they start with Elon Musk, Melania Trump and Peter Theil?
How about Vance and his wife?
Trump is only half American too
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!

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.
Can’t imagine losing 1/3 of your population would have any larger ramifications elsewhere.
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.

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.
The reality is that if even one of the rights can be removed, then they were never rights to begin with, just temporary privelages.
8th is long dead
Indeed and I should add, the 6th is in effect Dishonored as well, as a grand jury used to be a check on unwarranted prosecutions, but they have changed what a grand jury is and how it operates so it is now a tool of prosecutors. That’s what happens when you let lawyers run a country.
Obviously we are just scraping the surface here arguably the 9th, the 14th, I think the 15th, I need to brush up on it all.

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.
Asmongold, Harrison Smith, Laura Loomer and Steve Bannon are calling for the deportation of Muslims. This is a Zionist agenda.
I don’t wish death or violence on anyone, but if Asmongold fell into one of those industrial metal grinding machines I’d probably crack a smile when reading the article. Actual waste of flesh, that one.
I’m unironically at the point where I would absolutely vote for the person who promises to exile every Trumper in this country. So…
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.
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. 😞
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.
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.
Exactly. You couldn’t make this shit up…
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.
oblig. DM2525
They’re bad people and too many folks are pretending they’re not.
How cowardly
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.
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.
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.
As a trans person with jewish and indigenous ancestry, fuck them all. The entire empire must fall.
That’s the true “million dollar question”; what happens to the US if/when this wannabe-Fascist dictatorship falls apart (as all Fascist dictatorships eventually do).
I honestly don’t have high hopes that the US will retain its position as the sole global hegemonic power. We will inevitably transition back to a multi-polar world, bringing with it all of the uncertainty that it poses.
Either the US holds these perpetrators accountable and spends decades rebuilding trust in Government at all levels (unlikely), descends into Russian-style cronyism (most likely), or Balkanises (wildcard).
The last year and a half has finally made me understand why “re-education camps” have been tried.
I mean, what else can you do? How are we supposed to live side by side with people who literally want our friends and loved ones dead?
It wouldn’t take long if you removed fox news. Studies have shown just supplanting fox news with corporate media leads to rapid de-radicalization. They of course go back to that addictive fox news when the study is over, but it just shows that it can be done easier than we might believe.
I think people forget that these peoples viewpoints are being constantly reinforced everyday, multiple times a day.
Conspiring to deprive others of their rights, or actually taking steps to do so, should be a very dangerous thing to do.
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’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
Don’t worry I’m sure we can just vote ourselves out of this. I mean the disenfranchisement will be like 10x worse than the 2024 election, with people already in concentration camps.
But surely we can vote our selves out of this. /s
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
This is a good time to remind people of this: https://youtu.be/0YFdwfNh5vs
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?
Many are, and they all support them.
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.
Our leadership is Schumer and Jeffries. Two absolute fucking cowards and empty suits that work for Israel not America.
The MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries has been on the stage far too long. It’s finally time for them to get the hook.

They literally had a sign up at CPAC saying they were domestic terrorists and here we are.
