James Kaufman has been trying for six years to cut his ties to the United States. He may finally get his wish. The Justice Department is dropping its challenge to a ruling that said Kaufman, a convicted sex offender, should be allowed to renounce his citizenship. A person typically renounces citizenship outside the United States, but it is possible to sever citizenship inside the U.S. during a state of war. In earlier court papers, DOJ attorneys disputed that the U.S. was, indeed, in a "state of war."
