The bill strengthens and speeds immigration enforcement and standardizes adjudication to protect national security and program integrity, but does so by narrowing citizenship rules, expanding grounds for revocation and deportation, and imposing major civil‑liberties, family‑stability, and administrative costs.
Taxpayers and local communities: the bill gives federal authorities clearer and faster powers to revoke citizenship/visas and remove noncitizens who materially support terrorist organizations, commit serious federal crimes, or are nationals of specified countries, reducing persistent security risks.
Applicants and agencies: the bill centralizes and standardizes procedures (administrative revocation process, venue rules, reporting on asylum/refugee reviews, clearer conviction triggers, and a defined English test), which can improve predictability, transparency, and consistent adjudication.
Children born in the U.S. to qualifying parents (U.S. citizen parents, lawful permanent residents, and certain active-duty military parents): the bill affirms these children's U.S. citizenship at birth and preserves protections against statelessness for covered cases.
Children born in the U.S. to parents without lawful status: the bill would prospectively narrow birthright citizenship, risking that children born after enactment to undocumented parents could be denied U.S. citizenship and creating major legal uncertainty for families.
Naturalized citizens: the bill expands and hardens denaturalization risk (including mandatory revocation tied to later convictions) and shifts review into administrative channels, creating retroactive vulnerability for long-standing citizens and reducing judicial safeguards.
Nationals of certain countries and immigrants exercising speech or advocacy: the bill authorizes nationality-based revocations and removal for public advocacy that the government deems a security threat, raising substantial risks of politicized, discriminatory, or speech‑chilling enforcement.

Introduced June 25, 2026 by Andy Ogles · Last progress June 25, 2026
Makes wide-ranging, mostly restrictive changes to U.S. immigration and citizenship law: expands and creates new grounds to revoke naturalization and to terminate or revoke immigration status, narrows who is born "subject to the jurisdiction" for birthright citizenship prospectively, orders review of asylum/refugee grants issued 2021–2025, and raises and standardizes the English literacy requirement for naturalization. It also requires administrative adjudication pathways for some denaturalization cases and imposes lookback-triggered revocations of visas, LPR status, and other benefits for people from certain countries or who received certain public benefits. The bill affects naturalized citizens, immigrants (including lawful permanent residents and nonimmigrants), asylum seekers and refugees, and families with children; it shifts some denaturalization and revocation processes from the federal courts to administrative review, creates new criminal and ideological grounds for deportation, and directs agencies to revoke statuses and initiate removal in many cases.
