The Department of Justice under Trump Expands Federal Proceedings to Revoke Citizenship from Naturalized Foreign Nationals Who Concealed Crimes or Committed Immigration Fraud

The administration of President Donald Trump has decided to intensify legal procedures aimed at revoking U.S. citizenship from foreign-born individuals who obtained it through fraud, deliberate concealment of relevant information, or ties to serious criminal activity.

The measure, confirmed by the Department of Justice, is part of the broader immigration enforcement strategy advanced by the White House and reinforces the priority placed on national security and strict compliance with federal law.

Under current legislation, U.S. citizenship may be revoked if it is proven before a federal court that it was obtained through material misrepresentation or deception. This is not a new legal mechanism.

Denaturalization has historically been used in cases involving war crimes, terrorism, or proven immigration fraud. What changes now is the operational scope: additional resources, greater coordination among federal agencies, and a clear prioritization of these proceedings within the administration’s immigration strategy.

Who could be affected? Naturalized citizens who, during their application process, concealed criminal records, affiliations with criminal organizations, or substantial information that would have prevented the granting of citizenship.

What is being expanded specifically? Investigative capacity and the number of federal prosecutors dedicated exclusively to these cases.

When does it take effect? Immediately, as it is an internal administrative directive.

Where will it be enforced? In federal courts across the country.

Why now? Because the administration maintains that immigration fraud cannot go unpunished and that public trust in the system requires clear consequences.

How will it be carried out? Through civil lawsuits in which the government must present solid evidence before a federal judge.

Shameless court demands of D4vd’s family as they refuse to help investigation into girl found dead in trunk of his Tesla

Singer D4vd’s family is fighting a request to testify after the dead body of a 14-year-old girl was found in the truck of his Tesla last September. 

David Anthony Burke, 20, who goes by the stage name D4vd, came under fire after Celeste Rivas was found dead and dismembered in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle near his Hollywood Hills home.

Her body was found on September 8, but her family said she was last seen in the spring of 2024, when she left home to see a movie with D4vd and never returned. 

The Los Angeles Police Department has been investigating her suspicious death and named D4vd as a ‘person of interest,’ although no official charges have been filed. 

Grand jury proceedings began in the fall, but have been closed to the public. New court filings obtained by the Los Angeles Times reveal that D4vd’s family was subpoenaed to testify in the case. 

His parents, Dawud and Colleen, and his brother, Caleb, were reportedly summoned to testify before the grand jury. 

However, the family filed three petitions in a Texas appeals court, where they currently reside, arguing they weren’t given due process because the affidavits they saw were redacted. 

Their lawyers claimed that because they weren’t given the full affidavits, they didn’t have the opportunity to understand why they would be considered material witnesses. 

A lower court had previously denied their petition, and the 1st District Court of Appeals affirmed the decision on Monday. 

The appeals panel set another hearing date for February 24, according to the recent filing.

U.S. Senate Moves Toward Criminalizing Sanctuary City Mayors and Governors Who Defy Federal Immigration Law

The United States Senate is finally moving to hold rogue mayors and governors personally accountable for their defiance of federal immigration law.

For years, these “sanctuary” politicians have shielded criminal aliens, obstructed ICE agents, and turned American communities into high-risk zones, all while demanding taxpayer-funded bailouts to clean up the mess they created.

Senate Republicans, led by Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Eric Schmitt (R-MO), introduced powerhouse legislative packages designed to strip the “sanctuary” label of its power.

The End Sanctuary Cities Act of 2026 introduced by Graham doesn’t just cut off funding; it carries a hammer.

Under the proposed legislation, state and local officials who willfully obstruct federal immigration enforcement or refuse to comply with DHS detainer requests could face:

  • Up to five years behind bars for officials who “impede, inhibit, or stymie” federal agents.
  • Stripping the “qualified immunity” that has protected these politicians from lawsuits filed by victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens.
  • A complete cutoff of federal grants, including transportation and infrastructure funds, for any jurisdiction that refuses to share information with ICE.

Cartels Doxx ICE Director Todd Lyons — Post Home Floorplans, Video of Wife Walking to Work in Chilling Threat Campaign

On Thursday, the Senate Homeland Security Committee heard testimony from the leaders of ICE and the U.S. Customs & Border Protection agency. Minnesota officials also gave testimony.

Todd M. Lyons is the senior official performing the duties of the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). His testimony about the threats to his family and other agents is stunning.

Mr. Lyons began his federal career with the U.S. Air Force in 1993, serving in South Korea, Southeast Asia, and Europe. His civilian law enforcement career started in Florida.

After 9/11, Mr. Lyons returned to active duty with Special Operations Command, antiterrorism & force protection. His written opening statement is here, and his impressive career bio is here.

With deep concerns about the doxxing of law enforcement, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) directed questions to Director Lyons. Mr. Lyons explains that videos of his wife walking to work have been posted online. The cartels have posted the schematics (floorplans) of his home online too. 

Senator Johnson explained that cartels use similar tactics in Central America, to intimidate Police Chiefs.

Heir on trial for murdering financier dad at luxury Irish hotel once tried to perform ritual SACRIFICE of stranger’s baby on flight, court told

An American on trial for allegedly murdering his millionaire father in Ireland during a mental health crisis once tried to sacrifice a stranger’s baby aboard a flight, a jury was told.

Prosecutors testified in a Dublin courtroom that Henry McGowan was aboard a flight to Paris in 2022 when he had his first diagnosed psychotic episode, according to the New York Times.

McGowan, who was 30 at the time of the alleged murder, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. 

McGowan is on trial for allegedly murdering his father, John, in the five-star Ballyfin Demesne hotel in Laois. He escaped the watch of his family and friends at his Brooklyn apartment back in November 2024 and frantically purchased a flight at Newark Airport.

His family called the authorities, who checked on the disturbed man at the terminal, but he apparently masked his symptoms and was deemed to be fine.

While aboard the plane, 30,000 ft in the air, McGowan felt he needed to perform a ritual sacrifice of an infant.

He made his way to a couple with their newborn and tried to snatch their baby from a bassinet, according to testimony read in court.

Upon arrival in Paris, McGowan was arrested and spent a month at a psychiatric hospital in the city, noted the outlet.

He was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, a condition combining symptoms of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

After his release, he regained his footing and, in 2023, he followed a treatment plan for his bipolar I diagnosis and was destined to make positive changes.

All hell broke loose less than a year later, in October 2024, when he allegedly relapsed into a manic episode and fled to Europe again.

Though he stayed in touch with his family, a friend met up with McGowan in London and expressed immense concern for his well-being.

The acquaintance called the McGowan family to say that he was ‘roaming the city in a hot pink faux fur jacket and had a wild look in his eyes.’

Without hesitation, his father booked a flight to Dublin on November 11, the next stop on his son’s voyage.

He had planned to corner his son when they connected at the airport, but after McGowan’s plane landed, he was missing, and his phone’s location stopped updating.

“They Thought They Were Untouchable”: US Seizes 134 Acres In Texas Used By Mexican Cartel

More than 134 acres in Texas that was being used by a drug cartel for smuggling activities has been taken over by U.S. authorities, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a Feb. 10 post on X.

“We took the land and everything on it,” the post said.

A video shared with the post showed law enforcement officers arresting several people.

“They thought they were untouchable. They were wrong. Over 134 acres of land and property, taken from the westside Gulf Cartel, a terrorist organization operating near Rio Grande City, Texas,” according to the video.

The Gulf Cartel is a drug trafficking organization from Mexico that moves arms and migrants into the United States, and has engaged in the kidnapping and murder of American citizens. Drug cartels have been known to use U.S. lands to grow marijuana, with such activities exploiting sanctuary state policies and the sovereignty of native tribal lands.

In a message to the cartels, CBP said, “You think this is just about arrests? It’s not. We are dismantling your operations from the ground up. We’re cutting out your safe houses, your staging areas, your corridors. This is your warning.”

Over the past year, authorities have seized several cartel-linked assets.

In May, the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned two high-ranking members of the Cartel del Noreste (CDN), a drug trafficking organization from Mexico. As a result, all assets and interests in assets of the designated individuals in the United States were blocked.

In March, the Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned six people and seven entities for being involved in money laundering activity to support the Mexico-based Sinaloa Cartel, resulting in blocking their assets in the United States.

“Laundered drug money is the lifeblood of the Sinaloa Cartel’s narco-terrorist enterprise, only made possible through trusted financial facilitators like those we have designated today,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said at the time.

“Treasury, as part of a whole-of-government approach to addressing this pressing national security threat, will use all available tools to target anyone who assists the cartels in furthering their campaign of crime and violence.”

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) has introduced the Cartel Marque and Reprisal Authorization Act to seize cartel assets, according to a Dec. 18 statement from the lawmaker’s office.

The bill would authorize President Donald Trump to commission private U.S. operators under letters of marque to take over cartel assets on land and sea. A letter of marque is a written authority granted to a person by the government to seize the goods of enemies. Such letters once used to be a common tool against piracy.

Under the bill, private operators would have the right to employ “all reasonably necessary means” to seize assets outside the United States.

“The Constitution provides for Letters of Marque and Reprisal as a tool against the enemies of the United States,” Lee said.

La Linea: The Mexican Cartel Controlling the El Paso-Juarez Metropolitan Area

A recent cartel operation sent drones from Mexico into the United States, triggering a national security alert that temporarily shut down the airspace around El Paso, Texas, and Santa Teresa, New Mexico.

While the Department of War disabled the drones, Breitbart Texas reported, it remains unclear how large the drones were or if the cartel aircraft were moving drugs, being used for surveillance, or carrying improvised explosive devices, a tactic that has become prevalent in Mexico.

El Paso is directly north of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, a city with various criminal organizations present, which remains largely under the control of La Línea, a former faction of the Juárez Cartel that has since become the dominant criminal organization on the Mexican side of the border.

UK RELEASES Dangerous Bomb Plot Terrorist From Prison EARLY

The UK continues its slide into absurdity, where convicted terrorists plotting to bomb British targets get early release or even run for office, while citizens daring to post about grooming gangs or question mass migration face prison time.

The latest insanity comes in the case of Zahid Iqbal, one of Britain’s most dangerous terrorists, who is poised for release just weeks from now—a full three years ahead of schedule.

Jailed in 2013 for plotting to bomb an Army base in Luton using instructions from an Al-Qaeda manual titled “How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom,” Iqbal admitted to engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism.

Recordings revealed Iqbal suggesting an IED attached to a remote-controlled toy car to target a TA centre. He also facilitated travel for extremist training abroad. Despite expert advice against it, the parole board has greenlit his freedom under strict conditions, even ignoring warnings from his prison and community offender managers.

Reform UK’s crime adviser Colin Sutton called it a “baffling decision,” noting that Iqbal’s prior early release in 2021 was revoked for non-compliance, and questioning why he’d behave now.

“You know, there’s an expectation we’ve all got. These are the most serious offences that you can commit against our society,” Sutton urged, adding “this wasn’t a guy in his bedroom cooking something up. This was somebody who arranged training. He had links with al-Qaeda. He was a proper terrorist. And he was released early in 2021 and had to be called back in because he wasn’t complying with the conditions.”

This isn’t isolated. As we previously covered, Shahid Butt, convicted in 1999 for conspiring to bomb the British consulate in Yemen, is standing for election as a pro-Gaza independent in Birmingham’s Sparkhill ward. Linked to an armed Islamist group and past violence, Butt urges Muslim youth to “work out at the gym and learn to fight” against “disbelievers.”

Kurt Cobain’s Death Labeled ‘Homicide’ by Independent Investigators, Police Not Reopening the Case

Kurt Cobain’s death is one of the most tragic losses the music world has ever suffered. The Nirvana frontman died more than 30 years ago, from a self-inflicted shotgun wound at his home in Seattle, Washington.

But now, a group of independent researchers claims that they have gathered enough evidence to prove Cobain’s death was a homicide. This certainly isn’t a new idea, as conspiracy theorists have speculated as such for years.

The Daily Mail reports that an “unofficial private sector team of forensic scientists” has undertaken a new investigation. They have researched Cobain’s autopsy results, as well as the crime scene materials. They also brought in a specialist named Brian Burnett. He’s previously assisted with investigations involving gunshot trauma that have been preceded by drug overdose.

Independent researcher Michelle Wilkins told Daily Mail that after three days of looking over the reports and evidence, Burnett said, “This is a homicide. We’ve got to do something about this.” Wilkins went on to detail what the team believes happened. She said that the signs around Cobain’s death are not consistent with an “instantaneous” gunshot.

The independent researchers believe that one or more assailants confronted Cobain and forced an overdose of heroin into his body. This was to incapacitate him. He was then shot in the head, and the gun was placed in his arms. Finally, the assailants left behind a fake suicide note to throw anyone off the trail.

Serial squatter’s lawyer says client used ‘squatter rights’ to take over $2.3 million Bethesda home—she’s back in the house after prison release

The lawyer of a convicted squatter said that his client was able to enter and “assume the property” of a $2.3 million home under so-called “squatters’ rights” in Maryland. The squatter, after being released from jail, was able to take over the home again.

Tamieka Goode as well as her partner Corey Pollard unlawfully took over a bank-owned mansion in Bethesda, Maryland, according to neighbors. Court records from last July show that Goode and Pollard were charged with trespassing and fourth-degree burglary. The charges were made in response to a filing from a 19-year-old who lives with his parents next door to the $2.3 million mansion, per Fox 5.

Videos that Goode has also posted online show her flaunting her lavish lifestyle in the home. “Less than two weeks of being incarcerated, Tamieka Goode is back in the house,” neighbor Ian Chen said, the same neighbor who reported Goode in the first place.

Goode spent 11 days in prison after she was convicted for squatting, posting a cash bail of $5,000. She also retained attorney Alex J. Webster, III, with Maronick Law to have him represent her in other court appearances.

After she was released, security footage showed she was back at the house squatting again. Goode’s lawyer, who thought he could ask reporters to “cut” the video when asked about her activities, said, “Well, Miss Goode did her research. She found out that a certain property was under the control of a certain group – there was a title issue.”

“Due to the title issue, she was able to assume the property under squatter’s rights,” he added.

After being asked about so-called “squatter rights” in Maryland, he said, “It’s not a particular squatter right, but there are rights known as squatter’s rights.”

He said that there are “loopholes” that “people do take advantage of, but loopholes are loopholes” and that Goode followed the “order of events” to exploit them and obtain residency in the property.

A neighbor in the area, who went by Mi, but did not share her full name, fears that the situation could “erupt into violence,” as others around Goode have been pushing her to get out of the home.
