The Justice Department announced Monday it's "largest denaturalization effort ever," touting 25 new complaints filed in the past two weeks alone.

The department said it has filed complaints in multiple U.S. district courts against naturalized American citizens who have been convicted of serious offenses, including attempted first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and aggravated sexual assault of a child.

"Today marks the largest denaturalization surge in recorded history," Assistant Attorney General for Justice Department's Civil Division Brett Schumate said on X. "Every one of these individuals committed crimes incompatible with U.S. citizenship. We are moving at record speed to denaturalize those who sought to deceive the federal government and abuse the naturalization process."

The department also noted that since the start of the second Trump administration, it has filed 123 civil denaturalization complaints, which it declares is the most in recorded history.

“U.S. citizenship is one of our nation's highest privileges, and it must be obtained lawfully and honestly,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said. “The complaints announced today allege that these individuals secured naturalization through fraud, concealment, or other unlawful conduct — including by concealing violent crimes, sexual offenses against children, fraudulent identities, and other disqualifying facts. 

"Today's filings represent the largest coordinated denaturalization effort in Department history, but they are only the beginning," he continued. "The Justice Department will continue to use every tool available to protect the integrity of the naturalization process and the safety of the American people.”
