Trump Administration Cracks Down on Fraudulent Citizens

About this episode

The Trump administration is intensifying efforts to denaturalize foreign-born Americans accused of fraud or serious crimes.

The Trump administration is intensifying its efforts to denaturalize foreign-born Americans accused of fraud or serious crimes, filing cases against around a dozen individuals from various countries. This marks a significant shift from past efforts, where only around three hundred cases were pursued over twenty-eight years. The targeted individuals include a Colombian priest convicted of assaulting a minor, a Moroccan with alleged al Qaeda links, and a Somali who supported the terrorist group al Shabaab. Others faked identities or sham marriages for immigration perks. The administration is also going after Manuel Rocha, a former U.S. diplomat who confessed to spying for Cuba. These cases will be played out in federal courts, where prosecutors must prove the fraud to judges. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
