between deprivation of nationality, creation of stateless populations, and the commission of genocide and other unimaginable atrocities. Stripping people of their citizenship and rendering them stateless has, in the past, been a precursor to genocide. Although a repeat of that may seem unlikely today, the current administration is clearly willing to target and expel people without the faintest consideration of the results. Prevalent Countries of Origin and Risks of Statelessness This section sets out, as illustrative examples, a brief overview of the nationality laws of three prominent countries of origin represented in the denaturalization cases reviewed for this study, demonstrating a risk of statelessness posed as a result of denaturalization. In each case, provisions of the country of origin’s nationality law may result in the loss of that nationality, if originally held, upon naturalization in the United States or as a result of prolonged residence abroad. The information provided here is not comprehensive. As a practical matter, to fully explore the risk of statelessness posed by any deprivation or loss of nationality, the specific facts and circumstances of each case must be assessed individually and in much greater detail, which is beyond the scope of the present study. Haiti Haitians have been particularly targeted by the Trump administration. In January 2018, President Trump publicly insulted Haiti in derogatory terms347 and the government stated that Haitians would no longer be eligible for U.S. visas for work in agriculture and other industries.348 This came only months after Trump publicly disparaged Haitian immigrants349 and DHS officials announced that Haitians would no longer retain Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in the United States.350 DHS pronounced that Haitians must self-deport within 18 months following that decision, upending the lives of nearly 60,000 Haitians who have put down roots in the U.S., built careers, and raised children—many of whom are American citizens.351 On October 3, 2018, the District Court for the Northern District of California enjoined DHS from enforcing the decision to terminate TPS for Haitians, pending further resolution of the case.352 A high proportion of individuals targeted for denaturalization in the U.S. are from Haiti. Under Haiti’s 1987 Constitution, Haitian nationality was obtained by descent or naturalization, the latter requiring five-year residency.353 According to Article 13, Haitian citizenship was lost if the citizen acquired citizenship of a foreign country through naturalization, held a political post in the service of a foreign country, or, if not a native Haitian but naturalized, resided abroad for three years without authorization from a competent official. Article 15 plainly stated that “dual Haitian and foreign nationality is in no case permitted.” The 1987 Constitution was amended in 2012 to include a new Article 12, which implicitly recognizes the concept of dual nationality, stating, “No Haitian can make their foreign nationality prevail on the territory of the Republic.”354 Article 13 and 15 were abrogated.355 82 UNMAKING AMERICANS
