WHAT?! Trump Admin Wants to STRIP Over 1,000 Americans' Citizenship?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

WTF Just Happened

Okay, so listen up, because you're NOT going to believe this! The Trump administration, in what can only be described as a mind-bending move, has reportedly set a bonkers goal: they want to yank citizenship away from over a thousand naturalized Americans in fiscal year 2026!

Are we reading this right? Over a THOUSAND people? Just… gone? This isn't a drill, folks. This is a real, actual, "is this real life?" development in their already wild immigration crackdown. WHAT is going on?!

Wait, HOW Did This Happen?

So, how did we get here? Apparently, some "new guidance" just dropped on Tuesday, telling U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) field offices to "supply Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month" next year. Per month! MONTH!

Seriously, who signed off on this? Who thought, "You know what we need? A thousand more denaturalization cases!" This is like someone looked at the already rare process of stripping citizenship and said, "Let's make it a daily quota, because why not?"

Are We Serious Right Now?

Okay, no, but actually HOW are we supposed to believe this?! Let's put this into perspective: Justice Department figures say that only about 120 denaturalization cases had been filed since 2017. The total since 2017! And now they want to hit 100-200 a month? That’s like over 10 times the annual average before the first Trump administration, which was already an "uptick" at about 25 cases a year!

"The Supreme Court has repeatedly stated that citizenship and naturalization are too precious and fundamental to our democracy for the government to take it away on their whim." — Amanda Baran, former USCIS policy chief.

• The numbers are INSANE: 120 cases in eight years vs. 1200-2400 cases in ONE year.
• Experts are screaming: They're saying it's "extremely hard, if not impossible," to carry out through typical legal pathways. Hello? Federal courts? High threshold for fraud?
• One former official even said it would be "virtually impossible" to process. So... they know it's impossible, but they're doing it anyway? This is a plot twist no one asked for!

So… What Happens Now?

So, what's next in this bizarre saga? Experts are cautiously speculating that while this is a huge, terrifying "bark," it might just be more bluster than bite. The Justice Department is already "stretched paper thin," and each case HAS to be proven in front of a federal judge.

But even if they can't hit those wild quotas, the damage is already done. The fear, the uncertainty, the sheer absurdity of "requiring monthly quotas that are 10 times higher than the total annual number of denaturalizations in recent years" — it turns a serious legal tool into a "blunt instrument." We're all just watching, holding our breath, and asking: How is this happening? And when will it stop?!
