The Naturalization Accountability Act would make it easier for the government to revoke citizenship from naturalized citizens by expanding the grounds for revocation and extending time limits for prosecution. Specifically, the bill would allow revocation of naturalization based on any felony conviction (not just specific crimes), would remove the five-year window for revoking citizenship due to membership in totalitarian or treasonous organizations, and would eliminate the 10-year time limit for prosecuting certain immigration fraud cases. The legislation primarily affects naturalized U.S. citizens who have committed felonies or engaged in certain prohibited activities. The bill contains no new funding provisions or implementation timelines, instead modifying existing immigration law to expand government authority over citizenship status.
