MI HR0221

Urges the federal government to reverse the Department of Justice's June 11, 2025 policy prioritizing civil denaturalization proceedings against naturalized citizens

Raises concerns that civil denaturalization lacks constitutional protections available in criminal proceedings, including no right to an attorney, no jury trial, and a lower burden of proof than "beyond a reasonable doubt"

Cites polling showing 70% of Americans oppose giving the President power to revoke citizenship of naturalized citizens, and 64% oppose federal government power to invalidate naturalized citizenship

Notes Michigan has over 400,000 naturalized citizens who contribute to the economy, healthcare workforce, and STEM fields

Asserts that naturalized citizenship is not second-class citizenship and should not be subject to arbitrary revocation, with copies to be sent to the President, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Michigan's congressional delegation
