So does that mean I can attempt political asylum like anywhere else cuz anywhere else seems better than here partner

That's the loophole though you're no longer American lol your a refugee right of anywhere and everywhere so idk im south African might be the right answer or I'll have to brush up on my English accent m8

LOL I'm brushing up college French whilst still learning Spanish & Ukranian! I do love a South African accent :)

You don’t need asylum you could just move to Mexico

Yep, they'll make it so no conviction is necessary, just get charged

[-]

They already did. Read the new requirements to denaturalize someone. No conviction is necessary.

[-]

hruebsj3i6nunwp29@reddit

So, actually reading the article it sounds like they're going after people who lied or falsified docs in the Naturalization process.

[-]

Alternative_Chart121@reddit

The article is incorrect though, the fine print states that they can denaturalize

"10. Any other cases referred to the Civil Division that the Division determines to be sufficiently important to pursue."

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE: T:hese categories are intended to guide the Civil Division in prioritizing which cases to pursue; however, these categories do not limit the Civil Division from pursuing any particular case, nor are they listed in a particular order of importance. Further, the Civil Division retains the discretion to pursue cases outside of these categories as it determines appropriate. The assignment of denaturalization cases may be made across sections or units based on experience, subject-matter expertise, and the overall needs of the Civil Division.

The memo claims such efforts will focus on those who are involved “in the commission of war crimes, extrajudicial killings, or other serious human rights abuses … [and] naturalized criminals, gang members, or, indeed, any individuals convicted of crimes who pose an ongoing threat to the US”.

Lil vague there don’t you think?

altoidsjedi@reddit

Don't forget that these are the same people who went after Mahmoud Khalil, revoked his permanent residency green card, and locked him up for months because he allegedly a threat to U.S. foreign policy — justified by an extremely vague clause in the INA from the 1950's... which itself was put into law by Mcarthy-era anti-semites who wanted to restrict Eastern European Jewish immigration under the guise of "concerns about communist infiltration.

In short — after everything we've seen, from Jan 6th "decertification" to everything within the last six months under Trump II, there's no reason to suspect they will use this "denaturalization" bullshit with anything less than creatively malicious intent.

[-]

Content_Source_878@reddit

Well considering they are saying being next to someone with gang affiliation means you are in a gang and enough to deport I’m not sure Trump’s justice department will take any care in how offenses are found.

[-]

sexarseshortage@reddit

Some countries require people to renounce their citizenship to become citizens of a different country. What do those people do in this case? They will be shipped to countries where they can be locked up indefinitely and have no consular assistance.

Another scenario. A parent is a naturalized citizen, they have kids born in the US. If they commit a crime, they can have their citizenship stripped and potentially their kids can too if the birthright citizenship is gone. This is dangerous territory.

There will be a complete brain drain out of the states. I work in tech and have seen it happening already. Top engineers won't relocate the US and those that are here are getting out. Even Americans.

[-]

AnomalyNexus@reddit

A lot of countries have legislation that explicitly prohibits this. Basically "yes you can strip citizenship but only if it doesn't cause statelessness". Don't know if the US does. Guessing no.

There are also intl treaties on this, but less than half the world signed, USA not being one of them.

[-]

Nkechinyerembi@reddit

as a stateless person living in the US, trust me, the US has no means at all of handling statelessness. Numerous times it has come up that I may be moved to detention and deported, and made it quite far just to hit the wall of "nowhere to deport me to". There's also no path to citizenship for me, though... so yeah.

[-]

AnomalyNexus@reddit

You’re officially the first real person I’ve ever encountered that is stateless.

Mind sharing how that came about?

[-]

Nkechinyerembi@reddit

i can share what i know, but its all a bit of a mystery to me as well.

I know i was born in one of the USSR's territories in 1990-91, and I know that I was brought to the US before I was a year old. Somehow, I ended up in an orphanage or children's home, and my parents, whoever they were, are not in the picture. I went in and out of the foster system my whole life with all sorts of various document issues, and even spent some time in Internment. Basically, I am "legal" via DACA, but DACA keeps going on the chopping block, and every time it does, it essentially resets my life, as I immediately lose employment and am technically illegal, even if I can't leave.

[-]

AnomalyNexus@reddit

Wild - thanks for sharing.

Would have thought that the system would have a better way of absorbing very young orphans.

[-]

Nkechinyerembi@reddit

you would think wouldn't you? The biggest issue seems to just be that my birth country just doesn't exist, and I don't really know what its modern counterpart even is.

[-]

Few-Cycle-1187@reddit

Well that's likely why they wanted to establish the ability to deport to third party countries before undertaking this on a mass level. They can just send you wherever even if you lack the legal ability to work or live there.

This is already is occuring, a man was set to be deported to Guatemala but he was relieved when he was actually sent to Jamaica because at least they speak english.

America is great already, right Jim Bob? Democrats are dumb and corrupt, but Trump and his admin as total saints, no corruption at all, total man of God right? Jesus would be proud? My favorite Trump bible passage was about how we should love our neighbors while we strip them of citizenship and send them to the camps.

[-]

You have to wonder about the person who applies to work there in those conditions.

[-]

Awkward_Actuator_970@reddit

The people who want to work in those conditions are there to violently abuse and SA the inmates. They cannot do that anywhere else in the world. They WANT to be in those miserable conditions to gain access to non consensual sex and other abuses.

[-]

XxHazard001xX@reddit

Time to get armed. Every naturalized citizen needs to go to a gunstore, buy a rifle, and a pistol for everyone in their family. Load up on ammo and wait for the gestapo to come knocking.

[-]

iridescent-shimmer@reddit

We'll get the birthright citizenship ruling soon (the case itself was not decided yet. The decision everyone reported on last week was about injunctions by lower courts.) If SCOTUS actually sided with the Trump admin, then the constitution is dead in the water.

[-]

HighGrounderDarth@reddit

Sounds like the tree of liberty is about to need some watering.

[-]

iridescent-shimmer@reddit

I have no idea what happens at that point tbh. I truly can't imagine SCOTUS ruling against birthright citizenship unless they want to dismantle democracy and end their own power.

[-]

Thoth-long-bill@reddit

The goal is to transfer power to oligarchs running their own territory. Trump is a pawn. Just read the stuff on yarvin.

[-]

qlippothvi@reddit

Oops, a SCOTUS justice ruled against me, time to revoke their citizenship…

[-]

iridescent-shimmer@reddit

He doesn't even need to do that based on the power they already gave him. He's immune apparently, so he could easily just order executions. But, flat out ignoring an amendment...a future SCOTUS could just decide the second amendment isn't valid either then. It should worry everyone, including the asshat respondents to my comment (not you lol.)

[-]

alkbch@reddit

SCOTUS has already upheld severe restrictions for the second amendment. By that logic they could also upheld restrictions to birthright citizenship.

[-]

OrangeCreamPushPop@reddit

They do actually. That’s the plan.

Seriously these people are embarrassments. The same people who couldn’t be intellectually honest about the abortion ruling and kept saying “he took away women’s rights”.

He didn’t. He allowed the states to vote and manage it themselves. Irrespective of how you feel about the issue- I happen to be very pro choice and not religious - this is a fact it s not an opinion and yet they all went out saying dictator taking women’s reproductive organs. They’ve lost all credibility with sensible people. The only ones listening are the other insane people who have zero frame of reference and have never experienced a real dictatorship or authoritarian government

[-]

sexarseshortage@reddit

they all went out saying dictator taking women's reproductive organs.

No one said that.

So you're pro choice but are ok with the government blocking women's access to healthcare? Why would you not what that right protected at the federal level?

You're full of shit

[-]

Ebscriptwalker@reddit

To anyone wanting to justify this the slippery slope fallacy only exists as a fallacy when there is no proof of people oiling the incline. The fallacy ceases when proof of attempts to escalate are heavily present. It started with illegalmigrant criminals(allegedly), then it turned into , just illegal migrants, now it is legal migrants criminals(alleged), the next step is all migrants. Do you really think it will stop there.

[-]

the next step is all migrants. Do you really think it will stop there.

And, of course, “criminal offenses” will be whatever Trump and his corrupt administration think they are.

I’m a foreign born daughter of two US citizens. I was born in what was then West Germany when my father was serving in the United States Army.

I have absolutely no illusions about how safe my citizenship is. I’m an outspoken feminist, humanist, and socialist democrat. I’m exactly the kind of trouble making dissenter that this fascist regime would love to strip of my citizenship and deport.

Absolutely none of us is safe.

My mother is the same, but one parent was a German citizen at her birth. Mom is terrified of getting deported.

[-]

reality72@reddit

FYI if your mom was born to a German citizen then she is eligible for German citizenship. What are they going to do, deport her to Germany with a higher standard of living than the US? Oh no!

[-]

irishfeet78@reddit

Right? Except she left 75 years ago, most of her family is dead (her remaining cousin just passed last month) and she has zero memory of speaking German. Though, dementia is starting to set in so perhaps the language will come back.

[-]

reality72@reddit

I don’t think there’s a language requirement for German citizenship but I could be wrong, she’d have to talk to the German consulate.

[-]

[-]

Bitter_Scarcity_2549@reddit

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 claims such efforts will focus on those who are involved “in the commission of war crimes, extrajudicial killings, or other serious human rights abuses … [and] naturalized criminals, gang members, or, indeed, any individuals convicted of crimes who pose an ongoing threat to the US”.

Heres the context, does it sound much better?

[-]

Beadpool@reddit

The directive gives justice department attorneys wider discretion on when to pursue denaturalization, including in instances of lying on immigration forms, cases where there is financial fraud or medical fraud against the US or against private individuals; and cases referred by a US attorney’s office or in connection with pending criminal charges.

“Lying on immigration forms” is the low hanging fruit here. They’re gonna go through people’s digital footprints/social media, and look for any tiny infraction or oversight and use it to strip them of citizenship.

To all all the American calling the Canadian government fascist for freezing bank account, what do you say now?

[-]

InsaneDOM@reddit

Does it suddenly make the Canadian government any less fascist?

[-]

CasualObserver9000@reddit

No we're on a bad path too. But my American friends were chirping me for months online after the convoy over the bank accounts saying we're lost. Most of them claimed the current administration will be very pro freedom. Guess my comment was a message to the void for them.

Yea unfortunately it's a shit show all over. Folks think that a certain candidate will be any different over another but as the saying goes: left wing, right wing, same bird. Except the bird doesn't care for us.

We better strap in cause all we have is each other. Stay safe!

"Why are you driving under the speed limit? Seems suspicious."

This should have been from the beginning as it is not a right but a privilege to live here in these United States.

And each of his kids, as none of them were born to two US citizenship parents.

They’ll all get a Trump Gold Card ^TM

His kids are not naturalized citizens…

[-]

Girafferage@reddit

Exactly. That is what the article is talking about - removing the rights of naturalized citizens who have potentially committed a crime.

[-]

alkbch@reddit

They are not naturalized citizens…

[-]

Girafferage@reddit

Oh, my bad. Misread your original comment.

[-]

slickrok@reddit

That's not how that works, buddy.

[-]

Girafferage@reddit

None of this is how any of it works. You can't just declare US citizens to no longer be citizens and strip them of their rights. It's pointing out the hypocrisy.

fr0zen_garlic@reddit

I can see you didn't read the article.

Oh my cold vampire warding friend.

They did. She lied on her immigration paperwork claiming a > 150 IQ.

That massive of change, doesn't Congress have to pass a law?

It's not new. McCarthy (version 1.0) did a lot of this for people he got to confess of communism. Obama spun up "Operation Janus" to review fingerprint info to look for fraud and criminality in naturalized citizens, but that resulted in like 48 denaturalization in 8 years. Biden was higher in four at 64... In both cases it was something that was reviewed and done only when there was seriously valid.

Technically that is what this is except we have an admin full of complete authoritarian sociopaths who are doing their level best to use the letter of the law to defeat the spirit of the law. They are also pursuing it as a civil and not criminal matter. That lowers the threshold of proof and makes it easier to deport without due process. Basically: "Your paperwork had an error so off to the Sudan you go."

I think it's a problem the way it works under presidents who I trust. Under this turd I am terrified.

bilkel@reddit

I see yr point. “Assume good will of the elected president” in making policy is not a safe bet now.

faco_fuesday@reddit

Lol congress.

Good bye Elon lol

That's wild.

ngl I'm glad I'm watching this all from afar & my condolences to those that aren't.

NukeouT@reddit

And then they will just make up what an offense is and use it as an excuse to strip legit8mate naturalized citizens of citizenship based on not sucking enough tiny orange dick per day

[-]

bearinghewood@reddit

It's whackamole time yet again. They are stripping citizenship from people that lied about having criminal convictions in their home country before moving to the United States. You can't immigrate to the us if you have a felony conviction.

spinalking@reddit

He can start with himself ffs

Naturalized citizens are actual citizens of the United States. They have all the rights of a citizen born in the country.

This is illegal. The only way to denaturalize a citizen is if they lied about something on their application or committed a crime prior to or during the process of becoming an American citizen.

They have all the legal rights of citizenship.
