US strengthens checks on US citizens

The United States has intensified oversight of citizens born outside the country, reports NBC News. The Department of Justice has already instructed lawyers to focus on cases involving the revocation of citizenship, providing possible examples of such court cases. According to a department representative, the new guidelines aim to enhance the verification of identification data and prevent potential legal violations.

As part of the proposed measures, attorneys have received guidance on assessing evidence and documentation that could lead to denial of citizenship. The review includes examination of visas, immigration documents, and applicants' historical records.
