WASHINGTON D.C. – The U.S. Department of Justice has launched denaturalization proceedings against 17 recently naturalized American citizens, a group that includes two Jamaican nationals, alongside individuals from Trinidad and Tobago and Haiti. All of the people targeted are accused of serious criminal offenses committed during the statutory period when they were required to prove good moral character to qualify for citizenship, as well as fraudulently concealing their illegal activity during naturalization processing.
