Until now, the agency has pursued cases as they arose but not through a coordinated effort

Nope. It was always there to catch people lying for citizenship but it's only just now gained a focus.

We finally have a process in place to get to the bottom of all these bad cases and start denaturalizing people who should not have been naturalized in the first place

The laws are there for a reason. If you break the law, you are a criminal. If the law is unjust, petition to change the law. And since these people had citizenship, they had every opportunity to do that.

The U.S. government began looking at potentially fraudulent naturalization cases a decade ago when a border officer detected about 200 people had used different identities to get green cards and citizenship after they were previously issued deportation orders.

Oh, so during Obama's time.

The same report found more than 800 immigrants had been ordered deported under one identity but became U.S. citizens under another

So identity theft. Lying to the government and stealing an identity... <sigh> Yet somehow tracking these criminals down is bad somehow.

This is a smear piece disguised as an article.

That's a pretty misleading headline there. They're looking for fraud, not just revoking citizenship for legal immigrants.
