The government can only do this in specific situations. It must prove someone “illegally procured” citizenship by not meeting the requirements, or that they lied or hid important facts during the citizenship process.
So, basically, it all goes back to that person’s naturalization process, and the notion that there was something wrong with it. But for this administration, “hiding important facts” might mean “didn’t tell us this tiny detail”, or “didn’t tell us they intended to vote for Liberals”…
I wouldn’t put it past them to doctor old documents even. If ICE agents are willing to call livestreaming a “violent act” then they can self-justify fudging a document to deport another “invader”.
The part which seems under reported is that for a long time USCIS basically had an amnesty policy for expired visas while the next one was pending. I’d wager a very large percentage of people in the US who went from student/work visa to marriage residency technically overstayed their visa while the paperwork was being processed. There is no law which allows or otherwise protects this “paperwork amnesty,” even though it has been long standing administrative policy. This administration could therefore go after anyone who was naturalized in this way. And for no reason other than they think this is red meat for their base who just really hates all immigrants for some reason.
