US President Donald Trump vowed Tuesday to strip the citizenship of naturalized Americans who have engaged in fraud, pointing in particular to the Somali American community.
“We’re also going to revoke the citizenship of any naturalized immigrant from Somalia or anywhere else who is convicted of defrauding our citizens. We’re going to get them the hell out of here fast,” the US president said to applause at the Detroit Economic Club.
“If you come to America to rob Americans, we’re throwing you in jail, and we’re sending you back to the place from where you came. We’re throwing you right in jail. And they know it too,” he added.
