DOJ Opens Office Of Citizenship Stripping, Because PRIORITIES!

https://abovethelaw.com/2020/02/doj-opens-office-of-citizenship-stripping-because-priorities/?utm_campaign=Above%20the%20Law%20Daily&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=84032183&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--J03RAl6Yl44vqO5mvxlf1C-IBmul3jKQdio4Ds6Y8EMB1vBIVX0K9ozByuVDu6cXPcqIyiTtVtr49qkOzCHeGWUYBb9P5ndCmKyZqTv3DWD2Hdtw&_hsmi=84032183

Yesterday, the Justice Department announced the formation of a new section to enforce the president’s MAGA agenda. The Department’s Civil Division will now house a dedicated Denaturalization Section, working to strip American citizenship from “terrorists, war criminals, sex offenders, and other fraudsters.” The government needs full-time staff for all the people we’re going to be chucking out of the country.

“While the Office of Immigration Litigation already has achieved great success in the denaturalization cases it has brought, winning 95 percent of the time,” reads the DOJ press release, “the growing number of referrals anticipated from law enforcement agencies motivated the creation of a standalone section dedicated to this important work.”

“When a terrorist or sex offender becomes a U.S. citizen under false pretenses, it is an affront to our system—and it is especially offensive to those who fall victim to these criminals,” Assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt announced. Which certainly makes it sound like they’re going after scary bad guys, to keep Americans safe.

Except most of the time, they aren’t.

Which would help to justify stripping citizenships.

Once again we have incompetence and redundancy.

They're mostly looking for people who said "no" to this question when they applied for naturalization, and then got convicted after they became citizens









(Red ink is immigration officer at time of naturalization interview)
