Sen. Eric Schmitt Introduces SCAM Act to Denaturalize and Deport Naturalized Citizens Convicted of Terrorism

The SCAM Act is currently advancing through Congress, with the Senate version placed on the legislative calendar and the House version undergoing committee review. If passed, the law would allow the government to strip citizenship from naturalized individuals convicted of terrorism or significant fraud within ten years of their naturalization. This shift would streamline the deportation process for those deemed a threat to national security.

Terrorists have no right to U.S. citizenship. If naturalized citizens help foreign terrorist groups, they need to be shipped back to where they came from. @SenEricSchmitt and I intro’d the SCAM Act to make it easier to DENATURALIZE and DEPORT these monsters. It’s COMMON SENSE and already has over 45 House cosponsors.
