## Summary

**This bill would** **expand civil denaturalization grounds** by treating certain post‑naturalization conduct within a set look‑back period as prima facie evidence that a person lacked required moral character and attachment to the Constitution at naturalization. It links denaturalization to retroactive cancellation of the certificate of naturalization and makes the person immediately removable under expedited procedures.
