Current as of May 2019. 169. Eleven (11) cases were closed or dismissed. 170. In 72 cases against naturalized U.S. citizens, the case was resolved against them. At the time of review, one denaturalization was on hold pending appeal, and in a handful of cases revocation had not yet been ordered. 171. These figures cover only those cases for which the Justice Initiative was able to accurately identify the relevant information from the case materials obtained. Median age was 51 years old, mode of 50, and age range between 24-72 years old (N = 144); median naturalization date was 9-10 years, with a mode of 11 years (N = 131). 172. Bond amounts were calculated based on 60 criminal cases in which bail was ordered. 173.

Very few case files mentioned Operation Janus or Operation Second Look. Cases in which a fingerprint analysis or failure to disclose a prior removal were mentioned as evidence against the defendant were coded as Operation Janus/Operation Second Look cases. This is likely a conservative estimate. “Fraudulent documents” cases and “immigration issue” cases may also be Operation Janus/Operation Second Look cases, though fingerprinting or a prior removal order were not mentioned. Cases coded as “immigration issue” include allegations such as not disclosing an alias. “Fraudulent document” cases cover, for example, allegations that the defendant used another person’s passport or an alias to procure a document used to enter the U.S., or to apply for a benefit. The Justice Initiative does not have disaggregated data on case types in pre-2017 cases. 175. See Chapter IV, Political Attacks on Citizenship by Birth 170 in the United States. 176.
