By Sandra Sanchez


The number of denaturalization cases — the revoking of U.S. citizenship — has spiked significantly under the Trump administration, according to new data. Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) reports that the Trump administration in May filed 15 complaints for denaturalization against people who had previously been granted U.S. citizenship. So far in June, 18 denaturalization cases have been filed.
