It begins with a clear understanding of what one truly wants to accomplish in a chosen field. Without a defined direction, efforts become scattered, making it difficult to measure progress or attain meaningful success. Therefore, setting specific and realistic career goals is the first critical step. Self-assessment plays a vital role in this journey. Individuals must evaluate their strengths, weaknesses, interests, and values. By doing so, they gain insight into areas where they can excel and identify skills that need improvement. This awareness helps in aligning personal abilities with career aspirations, ensuring a more purposeful pursuit. Education and skill acquisition are fundamental to achieving career goals.

US to revoke Citizenship from 25m naturalized Citizens

Ben Achi
The United States Government has formalized efforts to revoke U.S. citizenship from certain naturalized citizens.

A memo issued by the United States Justice Department on June 11 directed government attorneys to prioritize civil proceedings that strip citizenship from individuals who allegedly obtained it illegally, or by lying during the process, or are charged with crimes.

The directive focuses on using civil proceedings to revoke citizenship in cases involving war crimes, extrajudicial killings, human rights abuses, terrorism, and individuals convicted of crimes who pose an ongoing threat to the United States.

The memo said: “The benefits of civil denaturalization include the government’s ability to revoke the citizenship of individuals who engaged in the commission of war crimes, extrajudicial killings, or other serious human rights abuses; to remove naturalized criminals, gang members, or, indeed, any individuals convicted of crimes who pose an ongoing threat to the United States; and to prevent convicted terrorists from returning to U.S. soil or traveling internationally on a US passport.

“The Civil Division shall prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence.”

At the heart of the move are about 25 million U.S. citizens who were born abroad but became Americans through naturalization.

The memo outlines 10 priority categories for denaturalization, including individuals involved in war crimes, human rights abuses, gang activity, or those convicted of crimes deemed to pose an ongoing threat to the US.

At least one individual has already been stripped of United States citizenship in recent weeks after a conviction, international media reported.

According to the DOJ, the person had been found guilty of collecting and distributing child sexual abuse material.
