Plain-English Summary

The proposal would allow the government to strip citizenship from people who became U.S. citizens through naturalization if they are convicted of terrorism-related crimes. This would affect immigrants who went through the naturalization process and were later found guilty of terrorism offenses, potentially making them stateless or subject to deportation. The measure is currently being reviewed by the House Judiciary Committee.
