…Acc/to this new memo, the #DOJ is also expanding its criteria of which #crimes put individuals at risk of losing their #citizenship. That includes #NationalSecurity violations & committing acts of #fraud against individuals or against the government, like Paycheck Protection Program loan fraud or Medicaid or Medicare fraud.

🚨In #civil proceedings, any individual subject to #denaturalization is NOT entitled to an #attorney, Robertson said; there is also a lower #BurdenOfProof for the govt to reach, & it is far easier & faster to reach a conclusion in these cases.

Robertson says that stripping Americans of citizenship through civil litigation violates #DueProcess & infringes on the rights guaranteed by the #14thAmendment.

“To see that this admin is plotting out how they're going to expand its use in ways that we have not seen before is very shocking & very concerning,”said Sameera Hafiz, policy director of the Immigration Legal Resource Center, a national advocacy org providing legal training in #immigration #law.

“It is…in a way trying to create a second class of US citizens:”where one set of #Americans is safe & those not born in the country are still at risk of losing their hard-fought #citizenship, she said.

Other #immigration experts point to another part of the guidance, which gives US attorneys broader discretion to determine other eligible #denaturalization cases. "These categories do not limit the #Civil Division from pursuing any particular case," the memo states, & priorities for denaturalization can include "any other cases referred to the Civil Division that the Division determines to be sufficiently important to pursue."
