Report: Denaturalization Filings Surge as Trump Administration Expands Citizenship Crackdown
By Héctor Ríos Morales


According to a Border Report investigation, the number of denaturalization cases has risen sharply under Trump's second administration. A report from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse found that, since May, the administration has filed 33 denaturalization complaints against people who had previously obtained U.S. citizenship, 15 in May and 18 so far in June. That two-month tally alone outstrips the eight civil denaturalization suits filed across the whole of 2025, a jump of more than 300% — though that comparison sets a partial 2026 period against a full prior year.
