Donald Trump’s administration will seek to revoke the citizenship of 17 American citizens accused of immigration fraud — the largest effort yet by the U.S. government to employ rarely used denaturalization powers.

The administration says the immigrants had failed to disclose unlawful behavior, including fraud or drug charges, during their naturalization proceedings. Trump denaturalized an average of 42 individuals a year during his first term, marking a huge jump from the 11 average cases that occurred annually between 1990 and 2017.
