i asked grok, and it said this could affect 25M people. that seems about the number estimated who supposedly entered the country during biden.
what if not that many people came in under biden and this is all just narrative around 25M naturalized citizens who need to gtfo? once denaturalized, theyre essentially illegal immigrants. they "entered" into the country one-by-one as their denaturalizations took effect…would be the reality in that scenario.
grok answer:
"considering this article: https://www.npr.org/2025/06/30/nx-s1-5445398/denaturalization-trump-immigration-enforcement
how many people could be denaturalized?
The article does not provide a specific number of people who could be denaturalized under the Trump administration's 2025 policy. However, it references a Department of Justice (DOJ) memo prioritizing denaturalization for naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes, with an estimated 25 million naturalized U.S. citizens potentially affected, based on 2023 data.
The scope depends on the DOJ's enforcement priorities, which include cases involving war crimes, human rights abuses, or fraud during naturalization. Historical data from the first Trump administration (2017–2021) indicates a surge in cases, with 168 denaturalization cases filed, compared to 64 under the Biden administration. Given the broader directive in the 2025 memo, the number could increase significantly, but no precise figure is provided."
