Trump Vows to Strip Citizenship from Immigrants Convicted of Crimes – If He Can

President Donald Trump declared on Sunday evening that he would "absolutely" strip citizenship from immigrants who commit crimes. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One while returning to Washington, Trump addressed questions related to his immigration policies.

A reporter asked, "Mr. President, you mentioned potentially denaturalizing some American citizens. Can you elaborate?"

Trump: "You mean individuals here who shouldnt be? Well, yes. If we have criminals who were naturalizedpossibly through the Biden administration or others who didnt properly vet themthen, if I have the authority, I would certainly denaturalize them."

Trump was further questioned about his use of the term "reverse migration" in the context of immigration enforcement.

Trump: "It means removing people who are in our country illegally. We need to get them out. There are many here who shouldnt be, and they entered under Biden. He may have been the worst president in history, but he allowed millions to enter who shouldnt have."

The president also cited a recent incident involving the fatal shooting of two National Guard members by a suspected Afghan national, linking it to his push for denaturalization.

Trump: "Look at who was allowed in. Were paying a heavy price, and we will for years, including the killer of two brave National Guardsmen. That individual should never have entered our country."

On Thursday, Trump announced a plan to "permanently pause migration from all Third World countries," aiming to review the U.S. immigration system. He emphasized removing immigrants he views as non-beneficial to the nation.

Trump: "I will pause migration to allow the system to recover, terminate Biden-era illegal admissions, and remove anyone not contributing positively to the U.S. This includes ending federal benefits for noncitizens, denaturalizing those undermining domestic peace, and deporting any foreign nationals who pose risks or are incompatible with our values."
