But #immigration #law experts expressed serious concerns about the effort's constitutionality, & how this could impact #families of naturalized #citizens.

Duke is an #American #military #veteran originally from the #UK who was convicted for distributing child sexual abuse material—something they later admitted they were doing prior to becoming a US citizen.
