Plain-English Summary

The proposal would allow the U.S. government to strip citizenship from people who are found to have provided support to terrorist organizations or causes. This would apply to naturalized citizens (those who became U.S. citizens through the naturalization process rather than being born here) and could affect immigrants who have obtained citizenship but are later discovered to have ties to terrorism. The change would give authorities an additional tool to revoke citizenship status for national security purposes.
