Trump Administration Aims to Strip More Foreign-Born Americans of Citizenship​

An official with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said it would prioritize “those who’ve unlawfully obtained U.S. citizenship.”


“…
The guidance, issued on Tuesday to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field offices, asks that they “supply Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month” in the 2026 fiscal year. If the cases are successful, it would represent a massive escalation of denaturalization in the modern era, experts said. By comparison, between 2017 and this year to date, there had been just over 120 cases filed, according to the Justice Department.

Under federal law, people may be denaturalized only if they committed fraud while applying for citizenship, or in a few other narrow circumstances. But the Trump administration has shown a zeal for using every tool at its disposal to target legal and illegal immigrants, leading activists to warn that such a campaign could sweep up people who had made honest mistakes on their citizenship paperwork and sow fear among law-abiding Americans.…”

So this is not because they’ve discovered any fraud in naturalization but because they want examples drummed up just so they can do this as some sort of evil flex.

Trump-backed candidate sounds alarm on rising MAGA racism in NYT op-ed

Vivek Ramswamy used to be a darling of the far right. A biotech entrepreneur from Cincinnati, he went from his own presidential candidacy in 2024, to Donald Trump surrogate, to co-heading Trump's Department of Government Efficiency task force, and now he's running for governor of Ohio on a MAGA...

I'm just now getting back to this article after I opened it earlier today. I can't believe this quote is in here...

"Americanness isn’t a scalar quality that varies based on your ancestry. It’s binary: Either you’re an American or you’re not. You are an American if you believe in the rule of law, in freedom of conscience and freedom of expression, in colorblind meritocracy, in the U.S. Constitution, in the American dream, and if you are a citizen who swears exclusive allegiance to our nation," wrote Ramaswamy. "As Ronald Reagan quipped, you can go to live in France, but you can’t become a Frenchman; but anyone from any corner of the world can come to live in the United States and become an American ... This is what makes American exceptionalism possible."

I'm sorry, Vivek, you've cast your lot with the bigots, so the Democrats - who actually practice most of what you say above - aren't going to accept you now.

This is a predicate for Miller’s remigration initiatives.
 


This attack in Syria has flown under the radar, in part due to the other news over the last few days (Brown Shooter, Sydney terrorist attack, Rob Reiner murder).

Jack Smith testifies in closed-door hearing that it was his decision to charge Trump, according to testimony obtained by CNN​

“… GOP Rep. Kevin Kiley spoke with reporters near the end of Smith’s testimony, saying that while he spent a limited amount of time in the hearing, he was able to attend Smith’s testimony today, and he did not observe anything that was “unprofessional.”

Kiley suggested it was time to move on from Smith’s investigations.

“After a while, we’re talking about events from years ago, you investigate the investigators and the best people who investigated the investigators,” Kiley said. “You can just continue adding an item, and at some point, kind of, where does it end? Maybe we should move on.”…”
 

HHS to revoke funding from hospitals offering youth gender transition care​

The proposed regulations would bar medical providers who offer gender transition care to transgender youths from receiving Medicare or Medicaid funds.


“… The proposed regulations would prevent those providers from receiving funding for any type of medical visit if they also offer youth transition care.

“We are done with junk science driven by ideological pursuits, not the well-being of children,” said Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who said at a news conference that he signed a declaration Thursday confirming that “sex-rejecting procedures pose medical dangers of lasting harm on children who receive these interventions.”…”
