QUESTION: My dad became a naturalized citizen in the 90’s. He was picked up yesterday for DUI. This isn’t the first DUI he has had, and I was told by a few friends that they can take away his US citizenship and deport him after a certain number of DUI. Is this true? ANSWER: For DUI committed after naturalization, no. Also, a naturalized US citizen will most likely NOT be deported for a crime committed after he was naturalized, unless the naturalized citizen obtained their status through fraud, or have.
