United States (US) President Donald Trump’s administration says it is auditing immigration cases involving US citizens of Somali origin to detect fraud that could lead to denaturalisation, or revocation of citizenship
Denaturalisation cases are rare and can take years. According to the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, about 11 cases were pursued per year between 1990 and 2017. Since taking office in January, Trump, a Republican, has pursued a hardline immigration policy involving an aggressive deportation drive, revocations of  visas and green cards, and screening of social media posts and past speeches of immigrants.
