Fact check: Can the US deport dual citizens to their other country of citizenship in 2025?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the available analyses, there is no evidence that the US can or will deport dual citizens to their other country of citizenship in 2025. The sources consistently show that claims about such deportations are false.

A Newsweek fact-check explicitly debunked false claims that President Trump announced an end to dual citizenship and planned to denaturalize and deport individuals with multiple passports ^[1]. The fact-check confirmed that Trump has not made any similar comments about dual citizenship and that there is no evidence to support the idea that the US is planning to deport dual citizens to their other country of citizenship.

While the DOJ has announced plans to prioritize denaturalization cases, which could potentially lead to the revocation of citizenship for some naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes, this process does not specifically target dual citizens for deportation to their other country of citizenship ^[2]. The denaturalization process is separate from the deportation of dual citizens.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks important context about the distinction between denaturalization and deportation of dual citizens. The analyses reveal that while denaturalization efforts exist, they do not equate to deporting dual citizens to their other countries of citizenship ^[2].

Executive Order 14160 affects citizenship policies but does not address dual citizen deportation specifically ^[3]. The order focuses on "protecting the meaning and value of American citizenship" but the analyses do not indicate it targets dual citizens for deportation.

The question also misses the context that misinformation about dual citizenship policies has been circulating, as evidenced by the need for fact-checking organizations to debunk false claims about ending dual citizenship ^[1].

Mass deportation preparations mentioned in immigration rights resources focus on undocumented individuals rather than dual citizens ^[4], highlighting that the primary deportation concerns relate to immigration status, not dual citizenship.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question appears to be based on false information that has already been fact-checked and debunked. The Newsweek analysis specifically addresses and refutes claims about deporting dual citizens ^[1].

The question may inadvertently perpetuate misinformation by suggesting that such deportations are possible or being considered, when the available evidence shows this is not the case. This type of misinformation could benefit those seeking to create fear or confusion about citizenship policies.

The framing of the question as a factual inquiry ("Can the US deport...") rather than asking about the veracity of such claims may inadvertently legitimize false narratives that have been circulating about dual citizenship policies.
