美国司法部（DOJ）周一表示，该部门已提起创纪录数量的案件，旨在剥夺美国人的公民身份。
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a record number of cases to strip Americans of citizenship, the department said Monday.
司法部在周一的新闻稿中指出，其针对40名“被指控犯有严重罪行”的人提起了取消归化公民身份的诉讼。
In a Monday press release, the department said it filed denaturalization actions targeting 40 people “accused of serious offenses.”
这些诉讼在多个美国地区法院提起，根据司法部的说法，相关罪行包括充当外国政府代理人和犯有自愿过失杀人罪。
The filings occurred in a number of U.S. district courts, with the offenses involving acting as an agent for a foreign government and committing voluntary manslaughter, per the DOJ.
该部门还在新闻稿中表示，这些诉讼是在8月底至10月初期间提起的，“代表了特朗普政府任期内单一时期内提交的最大数量的投诉”。
The department also said in the release that the actions were filed from late August to early October, and “represent the largest volume of complaints submitted in a single period under the Trump administration.”
司法部长托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）在新闻稿中表示：“今天的公告标志着现代历史上最大规模的取消归化公民身份行动。”
“Today’s announcement marks the largest denaturalization effort in modern history,” Attorney General Todd Blanche said in the release.
他补充道：“从一名被定罪的间谍到其他人被定罪的针对未成年人的性犯罪，这些被告向美国政府隐瞒了关键事实，并代表了严重的刑事罪犯。”
“From an individual convicted of espionage to others convicted of sexual offenses against minors, these defendants concealed critical facts from the U.S. government and represent serious criminal offenders,” he added.
剥夺非在美国出生的公民的公民身份并不常见，通常仅发生在个人通过欺诈手段试图移民美国，或犯有某种取消资格罪行的情况下。
The denaturalization of citizens not born in the U.S. is uncommon, and it generally occurs only in cases in which a person committed fraud to try to immigrate to the U.S., or if they committed a type of disqualifying crime.
根据先前的研究，在1990年至2018年间，政府仅提起了305起取消归化公民身份的案件。
According to prior research, between 1990 and 2018, there were only 305 denaturalization cases brought by the government.
特朗普政府的第二任期对移民进行了严厉打击，但其做法受到了强烈的反对。
The second Trump administration has cracked down on immigration but has received strong backlash for its tactics.
在过去一年中，多人在与联邦移民当局接触时丧生，并且有关于这些当局如何对待被拘留者的投诉。
Multiple people have been fatally shot in encounters with federal immigration authorities within the last year, and there have been complaints about how those authorities treat those they detain.
