But even “documented” immigrants will not be safe, because Miller has declared that he will pursue the seldom-used process of “denaturalization” to go after people who have been citizens for years or decades, based on suspicions about purported fraud on their naturalization applications.

I see it being used as a political tool to silence dissent. Speak up? Get you or someone you love deported and have them lose their citizenship.
