   Do you think it is plausible that using AI tools the administration will scan the citizenship applications of naturalized citizens for errors and false statements and revoke citizenships?

   1. Have naturalized citizens had their citizenship revoked based on fraud? Yes – Operation Janus did so
   2. What kind of fraud are we talking about here? It would have to be pretty significant like misrepresentation of identity or non disclosure of criminal record. Court has already ruled previously that errors alone wouldn’t disqualify a person, if that person intrinsically would have otherwise been eligible for citizenship anyway

   So let’s say, someone pretends that they’re Mr. Blue with no criminal record, but they’re really Mr. Green with a criminal record. Intrinsically, as a criminal, Mr. Green wouldn’t have been eligible for citizenship so his citizenship would be revoked.

   But let’s say Mr.Purple lists their address as 114 Main Street when it should have been 113 Main Street. Well, intrinsically, Mr. Purple would have been eligible for citizenship regardless of what his address is or what he listed as his address. So his citizenship would be unaffected.

   I think in the actual court case that set the above precedent, it was an error on the person’s marriage status that had no real bearing.

   Something like that.
