Although naturalization has been a part of American history for centuries, that hasn’t stopped Trump from pushing for changes.

Just last month, he stated that he was “absolutely” planning to denaturalize certain Americans.

“We have criminals that came into our country, and they were naturalized maybe through [President Joe] Biden or somebody that didn’t know what they were doing,” he said in early December.

Trump added: “If I have the power to do it — I’m not sure that I do, but if I do — I would denaturalize, absolutely.”

Now, just over a month later, Trump is reportedly taking steps to strip some Americans of their citizenships.

The New York Times, who recently sat down with Trump for a two-hour-long interview, said that ‘his administration was examining the criteria for taking away citizenship’.
