Citizenship

The Supreme Court just ruled 6-3 that birthright citizenship — the right of every baby born on US soil to be a US citizen — is still protected by the Constitution.

Seventeen people became U.S. citizens — and now the government wants to take that citizenship away. On June 12, 2026, USCIS and the Department of Justice announced they filed court actions to strip naturalization from people convicted of crimes ranging from child sexual abuse to multi-million dollar fraud. The cases reveal a hard truth: lying during the naturalization process can cost you everything, even years later.

Twelve people who became US citizens may soon lose that citizenship. The US government says they lied, hid crimes, or used fake identities to pass the naturalization process. The cases range from terrorism support to war crimes — and they show that citizenship is not always permanent.
