The Trump administration has codified its efforts to strip some Americans of their US citizenship in a recently published justice department memo that directs attorneys to prioritize denaturalization for naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes.

The memo, published on 11 June, calls on attorneys in the department to institute civil proceedings to revoke a person’s United States citizenship if an individual either “illegally procured” naturalization or procured naturalization by “concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation”.

At the center of the move are the estimated 25 million US citizens who immigrated to the country after being born abroad, according to data from 2023 – and it lists 10 different priority categories for denaturalization.

According to the memo, those subjected to civil proceedings are not entitled to an attorney like they are in criminal cases. And the government has a lighter burden of proof in civil cases than they do in criminal ones.

Edit: According to the Miami Herald, it depends on where you live:

The Supreme Court’s ruling means the judges’ injunctions blocking Trump’s executive order only affect the jurisdictions where immigrant groups filed their lawsuits — leaving the rest of the country, including Florida, subject to the president’s citizenship order. The turn of events is likely to lead to more federal lawsuits, including a class action case brought by the American Civil Liberties Union in New Hampshire on Friday.

Protests do work, but my entire life I kept hearing from everyone about the 2nd amendment and why Americans need to have guns for this type of shit.

They pointed to Canada and more recently Australia as to why taking away their guns is bad, yet here America is now: more guns than people, but afraid to use the 2nd amendment as it’s designed to be used.

The people saying these things are the right wing. There are liberal gun owners, but they usually see the nuance of the situations. Please don't treat us like a monolith. We have states that are like developing countries and education systems that are almost non-existent. And then we have other states that have the best schools in the world.
