Now he's going after naturalized citizens.

the Trump administration plans to deport the naturalized U.S. citizens it “believes” cheated the system of obtaining their citizenship.
The last sentence in this excerpt is a lie, btw.

The Trump administration is not only doing everything it can to discourage immigration of all sorts, it intends to launch an effort to identify naturalized American citizens it believes cheated the naturalization process and strip them of their American citizenship. The extraordinary process of denaturalizing an American citizen has occurred very rarely, with the Justice Department filing an estimated 300 civil denaturalization cases since 1990. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director L. Francis Cissna, however, told the Associated Press that the agency is ramping up its efforts to identify citizens who, for instance, assumed new identities in order to avoid deportation and claim a green card or citizenship.

Cissna said his agency is hiring several dozen lawyers and immigration officers to review cases of suspected fraud. “We finally have a process in place to get to the bottom of all these bad cases and start denaturalizing people who should not have been naturalized in the first place,” Cissna said. “What we’re looking at, when you boil it all down, is potentially a few thousand cases.”

Remember back when Sessions and Ala. were trying to force everyone to carry their citizenship papers and show them to police if asked?

Cop to Hispanic looking person.." We stopped you for sneezing in a public place. Show me your naturalization papers.
Gee, I do not believe you got the these papers honestly. You're under arrest until we get it sorted out and taken to court."

c'mon, it was so obvious they are running pogroms.

As a reminder:
Pogrom.... an organized persecution or extermination of an ethnic group, esp of Jews.

Yesterday I told her this and she said no way. She is not registered to vote and I am going to help her get registered. I know a lot of people who are naturalized, a lot of them are my friends. They work hard and don’t follow the news closely. I am making it my goal to educate them and make sure they get registered to vote.
