Stephen Miller drives DHS-DOJ campaign to denaturalize voters

A February 2026 internal DHS memo titled "Potential Voter Fraud – Denaturalization," revealed by whistleblowers and reported by CNN on Feb. 19, directed Homeland Security Investigations agents to identify naturalized U.S. citizens who may have registered or voted before completing naturalization and to refer them for criminal prosecution and potential citizenship revocation. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller drove the program through weekly inter-agency meetings with DHS and Justice Department leadership, with senior aide Anthony Salisbury overseeing the working group. The memo also required agents to report to the White House every instance in which they declined to bring charges. Idaho's statewide review of more than 1 million registered voters found roughly a dozen actual cases after flagging 760 as potentially non-citizen, a false-positive rate above 98%.
