The US Department of Justice filed naturalization actions against 12 people across the country accused of serious offenses, according to a DoJ release. One of the individuals is Ouazzani. According to the DoJ, Ouazzani was planning ways to support Al-Qaeda along with two men later convicted of trying to bomb the New York Stock Exchange as early as 2003.
The filings seek to revoke the US citizenship previously granted to these individuals. Such actions are taken when naturalized citizens are found to have concealed material facts or engaged in activities that disqualify them from citizenship. The department did not release further details on the other 11 cases in the announcement.
Denaturalization cases are civil proceedings handled by federal authorities and can result in deportation following the loss of citizenship. The move was reported on the same day that a photo of the Department of Justice building in Washington was published with a file date of November 28, 2025.
