Claimant: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Agency press release
Agency or office: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
Context
USCIS press release (May 14, 2026) announcing that it partnered with the Department of Justice and U.S. attorney's offices in filing denaturalization complaints; the release notes these are allegations and there has been no determination of liability.
Evidence
The agency press release is a primary source stating that USCIS and DOJ filed denaturalization lawsuits against 12 individuals alleging the listed offenses. The statement accurately reports the filing activity, but these are allegations in civil complaints and not findings of guilt or final revocations of citizenship. Verification can be obtained from the USCIS press release and corresponding DOJ filings or federal court dockets.
