Getting Terrorist Fanatics Out Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill would change the law to automatically take away U.S. citizenship from naturalized citizens if they are convicted of supporting terrorism. It targets people who have gone through the process to become citizens but are later found guilty of helping terrorist groups.
• The policy specifically applies to people convicted of providing money, weapons, or other types of support for terrorist acts. Under this rule, the court would be required to cancel their citizenship papers immediately after a conviction.
• Currently, stripping someone of their citizenship is a separate and difficult legal process. This bill would make it a mandatory part of the criminal sentencing for these specific crimes.
• The goal of the proposal is to ensure that people who work against the safety of the United States cannot keep the benefits of being a citizen. It would apply to any naturalized citizen regardless of how long they have lived in the country.
