Deport the Terrorists Act of 2026
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to revoke the citizenship of any naturalized United States citizen convicted of a terrorism-related crime.
This bill, HB9096, proposes to change the Immigration and Nationality Act to remove the citizenship of any naturalized U.S. citizen found guilty of a crime related to terrorism. This would mean that if someone who became a U.S. citizen through naturalization is convicted of a terrorism-related crime, they could lose their citizenship. The bill is currently in its early stages, having just been introduced and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
The bill would affect any naturalized U.S. citizen convicted of a terrorism-related crime. This means it would not impact those born in the U.S. or those who became citizens through other means, such as through their parents. The main impact would be on the individuals who lose their citizenship and potentially face deportation.
As of the latest update on June 2, 2026, HB9096 has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. This means it is now under review by the committee, which will consider its merits and potential changes before deciding whether to move it forward in the legislative process.
