Yeah, let's do metaverse lol

Hell?

FBI might have their reasons and they are doing their job, so no objections there. But the university data scrab is stupid, you can't undo history.

Universities should stay neutral.


The university scrub precedes the FBI raid by two weeks.


predates known FBI actions

does not necessary predate FBI involvement,

a university "silently" scrubbing someone is most times due to there being something which could cause heavy reputational damage to tangentially related to that person (or secret orders/pressure from courts or other agencies)

for example someone gets caught doing something bad by the university but not yet outright criminal, the university puts the on leave and investigates further maybe informs police or FBI too, which then start investigation but not yet without any public actions. The person knows when put on leave that they likely will find more things and disappears themself (issue with that story is the woman at on of the houses and her being let go by the FBI and coming back with a lawyer and her being not identified as his wife, which just doesn't fit in at all)


Two weeks isn't much. The government could have been working on this issue and talking to the university for much longer than two weeks.

What citizenship will a naturalized citizen get if they lose their citizenship and where will they go?


Country of birth, if not a dual citizen


Not necessarily. People can and do get left stateless (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Kateb_v_Godwin involves someone born in Kuwait but not a citizen); countries can and do reject deportations even of their own citizens (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/world/trumps-deportations...).


Nope! Citizenship is a basic human right. No one can be deprived of it. Middle Eastern countries have strict laws regarding citizenship; in that case, the person would have the citizenship of their parents. If one can prove legally their citizenship, that country is bound to take them back if deported.

That's great and all, but the problem still exists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statelessness

Well, when Palestine gets international recognition as a sovereign state, that'll solve the problem. Until then, he's stateless.

"Kuwait's Nationality Law is based on the citizenship of the parents, jus sanguinis, (Article 2) and does not provide for citizenship based on place of birth, jus soli, except in the case of foundlings (Article 3). For this reason Al-Kateb did not acquire Kuwaiti citizenship at birth, and was thus considered a stateless person. Al-Kateb left his country of birth after Kuwaiti authorities pressured nearly 200,000 Palestinians to leave Kuwait. In December 2000, Al-Kateb, travelling by boat, arrived in Australia without a visa or passport, and was taken into immigration detention under the provisions of the Migration Act 1958."


> Nope! Citizenship is a basic human right. No one can be deprived of it.

Unfortunately not true. Yes, it's a human right. Yes, there's all sorts of international agreements trying to prevent it (because it's a real mess that nobody wants to deal with), but it still happens.

This is more likely for countries that force one to renounce their birth citizenship. Not all those regimes want to take them back even if the option is statelessness.


Also FWIW, United States is not a signatory to the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, so it's not a "contracting state".


Any other remaining citizenship. If they had to renounce it as a part of becoming a US citizen (e.g. India requires it), they become a stateless person.


Stateless? Sounds new information


Yep. The US is not a signatory to the UN Conventions on Statelessness: the https://www.unhcr.org/us/what-we-do/protect-human-rights/end...

A US citizen can also just renounce their citizenship, and the US won't care if they have another citizenship.

Other countries are more restrictive. For example, Russia (a signatory of that convention) requires people to prove that they have another citizenship ready before they allow the renunciation to proceed.


You can't fake influence
