美国司法部一名官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,特朗普政府计划在10月本财年结束前,尝试剥夺超过250名外籍出生公民的美国国籍,这展现了联邦政府动用剥夺公民身份权力的前所未有的规模。

司法部可以撤销被指控通过非法手段或欺诈获得公民身份的归化公民的国籍,该部门计划在2026财年(截至9月30日结束)内向全美联邦法院提起至少250起剥夺公民身份的诉讼。

作为特朗普政府收紧合法移民程序的激进行动的一部分,司法部最近几周已经提起了数十起剥夺公民身份的诉讼。

尽管250起案件仅占美国估计2400万归化公民的很小比例,但这仍标志着剥夺公民身份程序的大幅升级——过往历届政府极少使用这一法律程序。

例如,1990年至2017年间,美国政府平均每年仅提起11起剥夺公民身份的案件。

美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)最先报道了本财年提起250起剥夺公民身份案件的计划。

长期以来,联邦法律允许司法部在有证据证明外籍出生的美国公民通过非法或欺诈手段获得公民身份时,申请剥夺其公民身份,比如在移民申请中就犯罪行为撒谎。

但这一程序漫长且复杂,需要检察官说服联邦法官剥夺某人的公民身份。从历史上看,剥夺公民身份仅针对最恶劣的违法者,比如侵犯人权者和暴力罪犯。但去年,特朗普政府扩大了应优先处理的剥夺公民身份案件的类别。

被纳入剥夺公民身份案件的目标人员可以对针对他们的指控提出抗辩。但如果政府胜诉,他们将丧失美国公民身份的所有权益,恢复到此前的移民身份(通常为永久居民),并可能被驱逐回出生国。

The Trump administration expects to try to revoke the U.S. citizenship of more than 250 foreign-born citizens by the end of the fiscal year in October, a Justice Department official told CBS News, outlining the unprecedented use of the federal government’s denaturalization powers.

The Justice Department, which can revoke the citizenship of naturalized citizens accused of obtaining their citizenship illegally or through fraud, is planning to file at least 250 denaturalization cases in federal courts across the country in fiscal year 2026, which ends on Sept. 30.

The Justice Department has already filed several dozen denaturalization cases in recent weeks, as part of an aggressive Trump administration campaign to tighten the legal immigration process.

While 250 cases would make up a small percentage of the 24 million estimated naturalized citizens in the U.S., it still marks a dramatic escalation in the use of denaturalization, a legal procedure that has rarely been used by past administrations.

Between 1990 and 2017, for example, the U.S. government filed an average of just 11 denaturalization cases per year.

CNN first reported the plan to file 250 denaturalization cases this fiscal year.

Federal law has long allowed the Justice Department to seek the denaturalization of foreign-born American citizens if there’s evidence they secured their citizenship illegally or fraudulently, such as by lying about criminal conduct on their immigration applications.

But the process is a lengthy and complicated one that requires prosecutors to convince federal judges to strip someone’s citizenship. And historically, denaturalization has been reserved for the most egregious offenders, such as human rights abusers and violent criminals. But last year, the Trump administration broadened the categories of cases that should be prioritized for denaturalization.

Those targeted in denaturalization cases can try to contest the allegations against them. But if the government prevails, they lose all the benefits of American citizenship; return to their prior immigration status, typically as green card holders; and face deportation to their countries of birth.
