WASHINGTON—Five men who became U.S. citizens around the turn of the century are child sex abusers who the Justice Department is trying to strip of their citizenship.
The department on Nov. 21 filed lawsuits against all five men—three are natives of Mexico, one of Colombia, and one of Nigeria—saying they committed fraud by concealing the sexual abuse during the naturalization process. The men committed crimes of sexual abuse of minor victims prior to naturalizing, the Justice Department said.
