HR 7958: Expatriate Terrorists Act of 2026

The Expatriate Terrorists Act of 2026 expands immigration and citizenship laws to target individuals who support terrorism or join designated foreign terrorist organizations. It mandates that people convicted of terrorism-related crimes be held in mandatory detention and gives courts priority in processing their removal cases. The bill also creates new grounds for revoking U.S. citizenship and stripping nationality from those who provide material support to terrorist groups or serve in their ranks. Additionally, it shifts some deportation authority from the Attorney General to the Secretary of Homeland Security and allows removal proceedings to begin alongside citizenship revocation cases.

HR 9096: Deport the Terrorists Act of 2026

This bill, titled the Deport the Terrorists Act of 2026, aims to remove from the United States any naturalized citizen convicted of specific terrorism-related crimes. It directly affects individuals who have already become U.S. citizens by automatically revoking their citizenship and declaring their naturalization certificates void upon conviction of offenses such as using weapons of mass destruction or providing material support to terrorists. The law also designates these individuals as deportable aliens and requires the Department of Homeland Security to prioritize their removal from the country. By amending existing immigration laws, the bill ensures that courts have the authority to cancel citizenship immediately following a conviction for these designated offenses.

SJRES 189: A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to protect United States citizenship.

This joint resolution proposes a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution to clarify who qualifies as a citizen at birth. It would restrict automatic citizenship to children born in the United States only if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or an alien with lawful status serving in the military. The bill aims to limit the scope of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause and explicitly grants Congress the authority to pass laws enforcing these new requirements. If ratified, this change would alter the legal definition of birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants or other non-citizen parents.

S 4546: ASSIMILATION Act

The ASSIMILATION Act fundamentally restructures the U.S. immigration system by replacing family-based and lottery-based admissions with a merit-based approach that prioritizes economic self-sufficiency and national interest. Key provisions include eliminating the Diversity Visa lottery, reducing family-sponsored immigration caps, and raising the English language requirement for naturalization to a B2 proficiency level. The bill also tightens public charge rules by presuming inadmissibility for those who rely on means-tested benefits, mandates universal use of E-Verify for all employers, and imposes stricter financial sponsorship requirements with mandatory bonds. Additionally, it limits H-1B visas to 50,000 annually, restricts asylum for those transiting through other countries, and expands criminal bars for naturalization applicants.

HR 8387: Measures Against Marxism’s Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists Act of 2026

This bill restricts immigration and naturalization by adding new grounds for inadmissibility and deportation based on membership in or advocacy for specific political ideologies, including socialism, communism, Chinese communism, Marxism, and Islamic fundamentalism. It directly affects foreign nationals and permanent residents by making them ineligible for entry or citizenship if they have affiliated with or promoted these ideologies, with exceptions only for advocacy that occurred before age 14. The law defines these ideologies in detail and designates specific organizations as examples of each category, while also prohibiting court review of determinations made under these provisions. Additionally, the bill expands the grounds for revoking naturalized citizenship and requires the Attorney General to issue regulations implementing these changes.

S 4547: America First Citizenship and Allegiance Act

The America First Citizenship and Allegiance Act strengthens the naturalization process by requiring applicants to demonstrate a substantial understanding of English, U.S. history, and specific constitutional principles like the separation of powers and federalism. It mandates that new citizens receive explicit instruction on the meaning of the oath of allegiance and must pass a more rigorous exam with a higher passing score and a greater focus on constitutional knowledge. The bill also introduces stricter penalties for fraud, including permanent bars to citizenship for serious offenses such as terrorism, foreign agent activities, and unlawful voting, while preserving existing authorities to revoke citizenship from those who obtained it through deception. Additionally, the legislation establishes a new initiative to update citizenship study materials for the nation's 250th anniversary and requires annual reporting to Congress on naturalization statistics and denial reasons.

S 4501: BACK OFF Act

The BACK OFF Act establishes new grounds for denying entry and deporting individuals who attempt to enter the United States specifically to give birth and secure citizenship for their children. It mandates that immigration officers and consular officials require medical examinations for women of childbearing age to assess the likelihood of childbirth during their stay, with potential visa denials based on these findings. The legislation also creates a specialized taskforce within the Department of Homeland Security to investigate and prosecute those who facilitate birth tourism, while imposing severe criminal penalties, including up to 25 years in prison, on individuals who assist in these activities. Additionally, the bill restricts judicial review of birth tourism cases and authorizes the suspension of visas from countries that refuse to accept their citizens for removal.
