Federal Officials Move to Revoke Citizenship from 17 People Over Criminal Charges

Federal authorities announced Monday they have taken action to revoke the citizenship of 17 naturalized Americans who face allegations of various criminal activities, including sexual offenses, fraudulent schemes, and illegal drug trafficking.

The U.S. Justice Department revealed the denaturalization efforts on June 8, targeting individuals who obtained their citizenship through the naturalization process but are now accused of serious criminal conduct.
