Revokes citizenship and deports people involved with terrorism.
Rep. Harrigan (R) – House Judiciary Committee.
Introduced in House, referred to Committee on Judiciary.
The bill adds new grounds to strip U.S. citizenship from naturalized citizens who commit or support terrorism, and makes them deportable. It also makes membership in a designated foreign terrorist organization a reason to revoke citizenship. The sponsor is a House member on the Judiciary Committee. The bill has not yet had a vote.
Introduced Mar 17, 2026
This bill is under review by a committee. The committee holds hearings, gathers testimony from experts and stakeholders, and may propose amendments. If the committee votes to advance it, the bill moves to the full chamber for debate and a vote.
Naturalized citizens who commit or support terrorism after 1996 could be stripped of citizenship retroactively. Those convicted of federal terrorism crimes would get priority in deportation courts. Simply being a member of a designated foreign terrorist organization could be enough to revoke citizenship or deny naturalization.
Supporters Say
Supporters say it closes loopholes that allow terrorists to keep U.S. citizenship and avoids lengthy deportation processes.
Critics Say
Critics argue it could punish people for mere membership in a group, without individual guilty acts, and may be retroactive.
Supporters argue that the bill ensures no terrorist can claim U.S. citizenship protections. Critics worry about due process, especially the retroactive clause and the broad definition of support. Some civil liberties groups may oppose it for potentially targeting lawful permanent residents with loose associations.
