The granting of U.S. citizenship to three individuals who were convicted as a result of a terrorism-related investigation was “outrageous,” Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) …
The report showed that the three people were among “defendants where the investigation involved an identified link to international terrorism but they were charged with violating other statutes, including fraud, immigration, drugs, false statements, and general conspiracy charges.”
The three became naturalized American citizens under the Obama administration, two in late 2009 and one in 2010.
“It’s outrageous that you can have people under your very nose and adjudicate them through the process and convict them and then turn around and grant them citizenship,” King said in response to inquiries from CNSNews.com.
He said the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) should be conducting background checks on all citizenship applications.
“Nobody should be getting citizenship that has been adjudicated in this fashion. It’s something that we’re going to have to take up with USCIS, and I just think it’s outrageous.”
