flag Naturalized U.S. citizens fear losing their status due to Trump-era enforcement shifts and rhetoric.

flag Naturalized U.S. citizens, including Dauda Sesay who fled civil war in Sierra Leone, are reporting growing anxiety over their status amid intensified immigration enforcement under President Trump. flag Despite legal protections, fears have risen over potential denaturalization, aggressive raids that have detained U.S. citizens, and public threats targeting naturalized individuals like New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. flag Some now carry passports for domestic travel, avoid public spaces, or refrain from speaking openly due to concerns about scrutiny and deportation, even when presenting proof of citizenship. flag A Justice Department memo signaling expanded denaturalization efforts and rhetoric questioning birthright citizenship have deepened uncertainty, leaving many who once felt secure now questioning the permanence of their American identity.
