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.
