The resolution, introduced by several Michigan representatives, urges the federal government to halt the expedited denaturalization of naturalized citizens through civil proceedings. It highlights concerns regarding the lack of constitutional protections for individuals facing denaturalization, as they do not have the right to an attorney or a jury trial, and the burden of proof is lower than in criminal cases. The resolution references a June 2025 memorandum from the Department of Justice that encourages prioritizing civil denaturalization, raising alarms among legal experts about potential violations of due process rights under the Fifth Amendment.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes that a significant majority of Americans oppose the denaturalization of naturalized citizens, viewing it as a misuse of power that could target individuals based on their political beliefs or free speech. It underscores the contributions of naturalized citizens to Michigan's economy and culture, asserting that their citizenship should not be treated as a privilege that can be revoked arbitrarily. The resolution calls for the federal government to recognize the equal rights of naturalized citizens and to ensure their protection from unjust denaturalization proceedings.
