Summary

The Deport the Terrorists Act of 2026 would allow the government to revoke the citizenship of naturalized U.S. citizens who are convicted of terrorism-related crimes. This would affect people who were born outside the U.S. and became citizens through the naturalization process. The government would then prioritize deporting these individuals.
