President Trump threatened to revoke comedian Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship, claiming she is not in the country's best interests. Legal experts describe this threat as unconstitutional, citing strict limitations on denaturalization. O'Donnell had criticized the Trump administration's handling of the Texas floods, influencing her departure to Ireland prior to his inauguration. She expressed no regrets about leaving, particularly after seeing plans for Trump's potential reelection. Trump suggested O'Donnell could remain in Ireland, reinforcing his position against her.
"Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship," Trump wrote. "She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
Steve Vladeck stated, 'For good reasons, it is difficult to denaturalize a U.S. citizen and even harder to expatriate one.' He emphasized that there are constitutional limits in place regarding such actions.
O'Donnell stated, 'I knew after reading Project 2025 that if Trump got in, it was time for me and my nonbinary child to leave the country.'
