ILIA CALDERÓN: A Department of Justice memo issues instructions for the revocation of citizenship for immigrants who commit certain civil crimes. Reyna Rodríguez tells us about the implications.

REYNA RODRIGUEZ: The Trump administration is seeking to revoke the U.S. citizenship of naturalized immigrants who have committed civil offenses. In a memo, the Department of Justice requests that the federal agency's lawyers initiate civil proceedings to remove citizenship.

HAIM VASQUEZ: The denaturalization process is not a new one. What's causing some concern here is the emphasis the government is placing on it.

RODRGUEZ: According to the statement, the measure targets those who obtained their status in an unlawful manner, lied on immigration forms, who pose a potential threat to national security, and who engaged in financial or medical fraud.
