There are growing concerns that the DHS effort is more about creating fear and less about successfully stripping citizenship. Even if Americans swept up in investigations aren’t prosecuted or convicted, the process takes a financial and emotional toll; they’d have to hire lawyers and produce documents.
Margy O’Herron, a senior fellow in the liberty and national security program at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School, said the mere threat of denaturalization creates real terror.
“Citizens are afraid that if they do or say something the government doesn’t like — even if those things are lawful and protected by the Constitution — they will be a target,” she said.
Sounds likely to me.
isn’t most of this kids of diplomats?
Immigrants.
And ex-pats which are trending younger due to people trying to escape American fascism.
Take it, please. I’ve been looking for a “get out of citizenship free” card. This would be a dream come true. I’d finally have a free slot to get dual citizenship somewhere nice. Maybe even somewhere with less fascist pedos in charge.
Being stateless tends not to work out so well. Other countries don’t suddenly decide to offer citizenship to those in need.
Does that include his wife?
Elon first!!!
Most foreign born Americans. I have a feeling there’s already a list of people who can stay. A short one. Populated by billionaire conservatives and eastern European former models.
Melania first then.
Elmo muskrat next
Yes, he fails the good moral character requirement miserably and definitely falls under: “migrants who undermine domestic tranquility”.
He was also an undocumented immigrant at one point, from overstaying his college visa IIRC.
Vance’s wife?
The beard you mean.
Of course! As if that even needed to be asked.
Notice the terminology. Working to expand effort means that they are going ahead with that plan. This is not a drill.
It’s been not-a-drill since November 2024.
True, I was just pointing out that this isn’t just the republicans saying they’re going to do something. That usually doesn’t mean anything except that they’re testing the waters.

If you have some citizens with real citizenship and other citizens with provisional, revocable citizenship, then you have created a system, both in theory and in practice, with first-class and second-class citizens.
Yet I have a feeling those of us who really were born here are never going to have a citizenship advantage over the likes of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Patrick Soon-Shiong, and so on.
The division already exists in law, look up statutory citizenship vs constitutional citizenship
So military kids too? That’ll go over so well
I just check and US military bases do not count as “US Soil” the same way embassies do. Yeah, the legal status of any “base brat” is now in question.
It’s a short putt from there to removing citizenship from anyone, for any reason.
What else did you think they were building all those massive concentration camps for?
Let me guess, Barack Obama gets deported because he’s obviously from Kenya
Sigh
The fact that any retired Democrat officer is still in the US just shows how clueless they are.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried.
Ok so the expansion plan is the justices department pushing to have any naturalized citizen lose their citizenship if they commit a crime.
It’s a BS policy (personally I think citizenship should be rendered impossible to revoke) but that is my understanding of the plan
If they “commit a crime”, yes.
Usually the only grounds for revoking citizenship is fraud during the citizenship acquisition process, which I think seems a fair rule
Yes but for this administration being anti-government is fraud. Because only fake people from terrorist groups, foreign advisers, and “George Soros.” Would ever be against the US government (sarcasm)
Straight out of the gestapo playbook.
