01:00administration's claim from the last week of january to april 150 000 undocumented immigrants have been
01:07deported from the united states not limiting the deportation process to this trump in his new
01:13directive has expanded the scope of deportation to include those who are in the united states with
01:18various forms of legal status that is those who are counting days to obtain american citizenship after
01:24getting a green card and those who have obtained citizenship and has assigned the u.s department of
01:30justice the responsibility of verifying their information the process of
01:39provoking the citizenship of applicants who were involved in serious crimes like human rights violations or
01:44concealed information about assisting in crimes during the naturalization process has begun
01:49providing false information and concealing information in the application for american
01:54citizenship is against immigration law and they are also serious criminals under u.s criminal law

02:05or the rejection of the applicant's application with deportation in both cases
02:10trump's entry into the white house for a second term has kept all immigrant communities including
02:15bangladeshi's residing in the united states in constant fear until now his agenda was only to expel
02:22undocumented immigrants his new order has extended to verifying the data of naturalized citizens
02:29and the responsibility has been entrusted to the justice department meaning the deportation process will
02:34be expedited anyone from the immigrant community can fall into this trap of the
02:39process therefore everyone is apprehensive even before this there have been instances of revocation
02:45of citizenship of naturalized citizens and their deportation in the united states however in those
02:52cases there was not so much fear because previously such actions were not carried out with so much fanfare
02:58and instances of citizenship revocation were not very frequent according to a government
03:04statistic statistic from 1990 to 2017 over 28 years an average of 11 naturalized citizens had their
03:14citizenship revoked annually president trump is contemplating multiplying this number many times
03:19over which is the biggest cause for everyone's apprehension the law for revoking the citizenship of
03:25naturalized citizens for various reasons of immigration law violation including committing crimes in the united states
03:32moral turpitude voting in foreign elections serving in the military of a different country and providing
03:38false information to immigration authorities was first enacted in 1906 known as the naturalization act of 1906
03:47subsequently many reasons for citizenship revocation were added to this law between 1907 and 1973 the united
03:55states revoked the citizenship of 206 naturalized citizens during this time the citizenship of many
04:03born in the united states was also revoked even in 1979 the citizenship of 107 naturalized citizens was
04:11revoked after their involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity during world war ii was proven in 2010
04:19more than 300 nazi persecutors who had acquired american citizenship had their citizenship revoked and were
04:26deported to their home countries to face justice others involved in conflicts such as those involved in the
04:32yugoslav wars who fled to the united states and then acquired american citizenship had their
04:39citizenship revoked and were sent back to their countries after their war crimes became known patrick weill a visiting
04:46professor of law at yale university stated in one of his articles that between 1945 and 1977 the
04:53citizenship of 120 770 american citizens born in the united states who acquired citizenship of a different
05:01country was revoked a significant portion of whom settled in those countries after marrying foreigners
05:07or violated nationality related laws for example by 1946 more than 70 000 americans residing in canada
05:15lost their citizenship by voting in elections there many native-born americans have also lost their
05:20citizenship by voting in israeli elections however they can regain their lost citizenship by following
05:27proper legal procedures a possibility that is not applicable to naturalized citizens the migration policy
05:34institute citing government statistics stated that according to a 1922 statistic there were 462 000 immigrants in
05:42the united states of whom 24.2 million were naturalized citizens which is 53 percent of the immigrant
05:49population residing in the united states of these approximately 8 million foreigners have acquired american
05:56citizenship in the last decade alone for those who became naturalized american citizens in 2024 the
06:02process of obtaining a green card or permanent residency in the united states took an average of 7.5 years
06:09the u.s department of justice after receiving president trump's directive
06:14has begun working on verifying the data of naturalized citizens on a priority basis
06:19in this regard two main issues are being investigated first whether they violated immigration
06:25law by resorting to falsehoods throughout the immigration process and whether they committed
06:29any criminal offense punishable under criminal law
