Original Date Announced
December 17, 2025The New York Times reports that the Trump administration issued guidance to USCIS field offices requesting that they "supply Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month" in the 2026 fiscal year. The increase in denaturalization cases would represent a massive escalation. By comparison, just over 120 cases have been filed between 2017 and 2025; this year, the DOJ has brought 13 denaturalization cases and won 8. A USCIS spokesperson stated that USCIS will prioritize individuals who "unlawfully obtained U.S. citizenship," and that USCIS will “pursue denaturalization proceedings for those individuals lying or misrepresenting themselves during the naturalization process.”
