Citizenship Is Not Conditional — Stop Trump’s Plan

The Trump administration has issued new guidance directing federal agencies to aggressively ramp up denaturalization cases, setting monthly quotas to strip citizenship from Americans who were born elsewhere. This is not about public safety. It is about power, fear, and redefining who counts as “American.”

Denaturalization has historically been used only in the rarest circumstances — typically cases involving serious fraud. Now, the administration is attempting to normalize it as a routine enforcement tool. That shift threatens the stability of citizenship itself.

Nearly 25 million naturalized citizens live in the United States. They are essential workers, veterans, parents, and neighbors who contribute every day to our economy and democracy. Turning citizenship into a revocable status creates a permanent second class of Americans — people who must live with the fear that their rights can be taken away by political whim.

Members of Congress, civil rights experts, and constitutional scholars have warned that this approach violates core democratic principles and decades of legal precedent. Citizenship is meant to be secure, equal, and permanent—not something the government can threaten to control speech, participation, or dissent.

We demand an immediate end to denaturalization quotas, full protection of due process for naturalized citizens, and a clear commitment that U.S. citizenship cannot be weaponized.

Sign now to defend citizenship, protect families, and stop this assault on our democracy — before irreversible harm is done.
