United States Sixth Circuit

Under 8 U.S.C. section 1451, the federal judiciary has jurisdiction to determine if citizenship was illegally procured, and it was proper to apply the Displaced Persons Act to petitioner because it was in effect when he entered the country. A finding of misrepresentation was unnecessary for revocation of citizenship.
