President Donald Trump has declared an aggressive stance on citizenship policy, singling out naturalized immigrants who have committed fraud against American citizens. He emphasized plans to revoke citizenship for such individuals, with a specific mention of immigrants from Somalia or elsewhere.

The announcement was part of Trump's address at the Detroit Economic Club, a platform where he articulated his administration's tough stance on immigration and fraud prevention. This policy move is intended to deter illegal activities and protect American citizens.

Critics are likely to challenge the viability and fairness of this approach, raising concerns about its impact on immigrant communities. Nevertheless, the administration asserts that this measure will uphold justice and maintain the integrity of U.S. citizenship.
