    [Replay] U.S. Citizenship Under Attack: The New Denaturalization Crackdown

    We are taking this opportunity to replay a popular episode. We hope you enjoy and will see you next week with a new episode. Could the U.S. government really take away someone’s citizenship? In this episode of Immigration Weekly, Rosanna talks about a surprising new policy from the Department of Justice that focuses on something called denaturalization - removing U.S. citizenship from people who weren’t born in the country. Rosanna explains what this means, who could be affected, and why this change is such a big deal. From serious crimes like terrorism to things like fraud during the COVID pandemic - if you’re a naturalized citizen or just curious about immigration law, this is one you’ll want to hear.
