DEPORT Act of 2026 Denaturalization and Expulsion of Persons...
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to require an attestation disavowing terrorist intent prior to naturalization of any alien.
The bill, HB8341, proposes to change the naturalization process for immigrants by requiring them to sign a statement that they do not support or plan any terrorist activities. This new requirement aims to ensure that individuals who become U.S. citizens are not involved in radical terrorism.
This bill would affect immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship. They would need to provide a written statement disavowing any terrorist intentions before they can be naturalized. This step would be added to the existing naturalization process.
As of April 16, 2026, HB8341 has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. It is in the early stages of the legislative process, and further action is pending.
