Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds new requirements and evidentiary rules for naturalization to screen out and enable denaturalization of those with terrorism-related convictions or intent, expands grounds of inadmissibility and deportability for terrorism offenses, mandates revocation of immigration benefits and status, requires detention, and creates a permanent bar to admission. All provisions substantively expand immigration enforcement against terrorism-related activity; no provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
