The Justice Department filed the 40 cases in federal courts between Aug. 21 and Oct. 2 and has set a goal of 250 cases this month, about twice the roughly 120 people denaturalized from 2017 to late 2025.

DOJ has set a goal of 250 denaturalization cases this month.
A forward-looking target the story assigns to the Justice Department. Attributed goals are graded medium. Whether it is met is uncertain.
Medium
Roughly 120 people were denaturalized from 2017 to late 2025.
Matches the Guardian's completed-denaturalization figure, but it is an approximate count. The story does not attribute it in its wording.
Low
The 250-case goal is about twice the roughly 120 people denaturalized from 2017 to late 2025.
The desk's own comparison. The arithmetic holds (about 2.1x), but it sets a goal for case filings against completed denaturalizations, which are different measures. No source makes this comparison.
Medium
DOJ had identified 384 foreign-born citizens for possible revocation, according to an NYT report in April.
Attributed to the New York Times, but the NYT is not in the SOURCES list, so it rests on a single uncited outlet.
