“…And yet, recent political efforts target naturalized citizens nevertheless, spurred in part by a growing anti-immigrant animus, manifest in many ways, including in the turn towards expanding the conditions under which citizens and in particular naturalized citizens, can lose their citizenship. This expansion is perhaps most evident in the case of terrorist crimes (Boekestein and de Groot, 2019; Joppke, 2016; Webb, 2017); of late, many states have adopted or revitalized legislation permitting denationalization or denaturalization in cases where citizens are accused of, or convicted of, terrorist acts, and in some cases, legislation targets only naturalized citizens. Political theorists have examined these cases and not reached agreement; for some, it is never justified, whereas for others there is at least a limited set of cases where it may be permissible, for example, in cases where an individual dual-citizen terrorist commits crimes in one of her countries of citizenship, with the support of the other (Akhtar, 2017; Barry and Ferracioli, 2015; Bauböck and Paskalev, 2015; Cohen, 2016; Honohan, 2020; Lenard, 2018).…”
