This bill would amend immigration law to allow courts to revoke the citizenship of naturalized U.S. citizens who are convicted of terrorism-related offenses. The legislation defines terrorism-related offenses to include specific federal crimes such as use of weapons of mass destruction, international terrorism, terrorist financing, and providing material support to terrorist organizations, as well as attempts or conspiracies to commit these crimes. Once citizenship is revoked, the person would become deportable and subject to removal from the United States. The bill also directs the Department of Homeland Security to prioritize the deportation of anyone whose citizenship is revoked under these provisions. The legislation applies only to naturalized citizens, not those born as U.S. citizens, and only after conviction in court for one of the specified terrorism offenses.
