“American citizenship is sacred and should not be given to criminals and terrorists under false pretenses. My bill will keep Arkansans safer by subjecting felons and terrorists to denaturalization proceedings when appropriate,” said Senator Cotton.

The Naturalization Accountability Act would:

• Add any felony conviction that occurred before, during, or after naturalization as grounds for revoking citizenship.
• Ensure any naturalized citizen who is a member or affiliated with a terrorist organization, at any point after receiving citizenship, is subject to having his or her citizenship revoked.
• Allow denaturalization criminal proceedings against an individual at any point after receiving citizenship.
