DEPORT Act of 2026

This bill would require people applying to become U.S. citizens to sign a sworn statement that they have not been convicted of or charged with listed terrorism-related crimes and do not intend to commit them. The citizenship form and the oath of allegiance would be changed to include this statement. A later conviction for one of these crimes could be used as evidence that citizenship was obtained illegally, allowing the government to file a civil case to revoke it, with no time limit for bringing the case. People who lose citizenship this way would face removal from the country, and non-citizens convicted of these crimes would lose eligibility for immigration benefits and could be permanently barred from entering the U.S.
