美国司法部周一表示，美国已启动其所谓的现代史上最大规模的取消国籍行动，计划剥夺40人的美国公民身份，其中包括一名印度裔人士。这些人在美国各地的法院面临取消国籍的诉讼，被指控犯有严重罪行，包括充当外国政府代理人、故意杀人以及对一名有特殊需求男子实施加重猥亵行为。“今天的公告标志着现代史上最大规模的取消国籍行动，”司法部长托德·布朗奇表示。
The US has launched what it called the largest denaturalisation effort in modern history, moving to strip 40 people, including one person of Indian origin, of their American citizenship, the Department of Justice said on Monday. The individuals are facing denaturalisation actions in courts across the US over allegations of serious offences, including acting as an agent for a foreign government, committing voluntary manslaughter, and aggravated sodomy against a special-needs man. "Today's announcement marks the largest denaturalisation effort in modern history," Attorney General Todd Blanche said.
根据《移民与国籍法》，如果归化美国公民是通过非法手段、隐瞒重要事实或故意虚假陈述获得的，其公民身份可能被撤销，归化证书也可能被取消。“这些人无一例外都是通过欺骗手段获得美国公民身份的，”司法部民事司助理司法部长布雷特·A·舒马特表示。“本届政府将继续推进司法部历史上最大规模的取消国籍行动，以恢复美国公民身份所应具有的信任与诚信。我们的立场非常明确：美国绝不容忍归化过程中的欺骗行为。”他说道。
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, a naturalised US citizen's citizenship may be revoked and the certificate of naturalisation cancelled if it was obtained illegally, or through concealment of a material fact or wilful misrepresentation. "Every single one of these individuals lied their way into US citizenship," said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department's Civil Division. "This administration will continue to pursue the largest denaturalisation effort in department history to restore trust and integrity in US citizenship. Our message is clear: the United States will not tolerate deception in the naturalisation process," he said.
面临此次行动的人中包括来自加利福尼亚州的巴尔温德·辛格，其案件已在该州东区法院提起诉讼。司法部表示，辛格于1992年以“巴尔温德·辛格”的身份提交了移民申请。2003年，他又以另一个身份申请并获得了永久居民身份。“指纹证据表明，辛格提交了这两份申请。2009年，辛格以他的第二个身份完成了归化。”
Among those facing action is Balwinder Singh of California, whose case has been filed in the state's Eastern District court. The Justice Department said Singh submitted an immigration application in 1992 under the identity of Balwinder Singh. In 2003, he sought and received permanent resident status under a second identity. "Fingerprints establish that Singh submitted both applications. In 2009, Singh naturalised under his second identity.
该起诉书指控他犯有七项罪名，罪名是对他的道德品质产生不利影响。”该部门表示。该部门还寻求撤销魏晋超的公民身份，魏晋超是一名出生于中国的前美国海军水手，被判犯有与谋杀相关的罪行。据司法部称，魏于2021年入伍，并于2022年2月开始密谋向中国出售军事机密。他于2022年5月成为美国公民，根据旨在加快美国武装部队荣誉服役人员入籍的条款。
The complaint alleges seven counts for his numerous misrepresentations and unlawful acts that adversely reflect his moral character," the department said. The department is also seeking to revoke the citizenship of Jinchao Wei, a China-born former US Navy sailor convicted of espionage-related offences. According to the Justice Department, Wei enlisted in the Navy in 2021 and by February 2022 had begun conspiring to sell military secrets to China. He became a US citizen in May 2022 under provisions meant to speed up naturalisation for people serving honourably in the US armed forces.
魏于2025年8月被判犯有共谋从事间谍活动、间谍活动和非法出口与国防物品相关的技术数据罪。他被判处200个月监禁，并从海军退伍。司法部表示，还对来自巴基斯坦、墨西哥、柬埔寨、尼泊尔和阿富汗的人启动了变性行动，这是其针对40名被指控通过欺诈、隐瞒或虚假陈述获得美国公民身份的入籍公民的行动的一部分。
Wei was convicted in August 2025 of conspiracy to commit espionage, espionage, and unlawful export of technical data related to defence articles. He was sentenced to 200 months in prison and discharged from the Navy. The Justice Department said denaturalisation actions have also been initiated against people from Pakistan, Mexico, Cambodia, Nepal and Afghanistan, as part of its move against 40 naturalised citizens accused of obtaining US citizenship through fraud, concealment or misrepresentation.
