⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - The Trump administration has set an internal target to pursue 100–200 denaturalization cases per month – a sharp escalation in efforts to strip U.S. citizenship from naturalized Americans, according to reporting by The New York Times. The policy would dramatically expand a rarely used legal process typically reserved for cases involving fraud during naturalization. Trump has previously signaled support for such moves, linking denaturalization to broader immigration enforcement. Speaking to reporters earlier this year, he admitted he would like to strip citizenship from naturalized people he claims were “naturalized maybe through Biden or somebody that didn’t know what they were doing.”

⚡️🚨🇫🇷 ALERT - France is a digital colander. Hackers from breachforums have just leaked 22.4 MILLION records of data from the family allowance fund. THIS IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS. Let's summarize what we know: ➥ The data appears to date from November 2025. ➥ There are a lot of duplicates. At this stage, it is difficult to assess how many people are affected, but the figure of 22 million should be interpreted as the number of lines and not the number of people. The same person appears several times. ➥ The data consists of first and last names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers, as well as the first and last names, dates of birth, phone numbers, and INE numbers (if specified for CROUS scholarship recipients) of children/persons related to the beneficiary, all with CAF registration numbers and identifiers. ➥ The file in question appears to be Pass'Sport, as it aggregates beneficiaries of the CAF, MSA (agricultural) and CNOUS (students), and it is the only system to do so. ➥ The records appear to link beneficiary children and parent beneficiaries. Each child record is linked to an adult with their identity, email, phone number, and address, making it possible to reconstruct entire households. ➥ The data obtained from the hack reveals the profiles of beneficiaries linked to various organizations, notably CAF and CNOUS, covering a variety of situations such as young beneficiaries, scholarship recipients, and AAH beneficiaries.
