    @spool32 like, I'd be okay with revoking citizenship as a punishment for whatever

    if, y'know, you try that person first

    cause you can't revoke someone's citizenship unless they're a citizen, and citizens are supposed to be guaranteed a trial!

    I'd like to see that as well, but once they're back here, we wouldn't be able to get 'em out again. An interesting problem.

    In my passport it says the following:
    Under certain circumstances, you may lose your US Citizenship by performing, voluntarily and with the intention to relinquish US Citizenship, any of the following acts:
    • being naturalized in a foreign state;
    • taking an oath or making a declaration to a foreign state;
    • serving in the armed forces of a foreign state;
    • accepting employment with a foreign government; or
    • formally renouncing US Citizenship before a US Consular Officer overseas.

    There are some wrinkles here, such as ISIS not being a foreign state (i.e. we don't recognize them) and the "with the intention to relinquish" language. It seems like holding citizenship somewhere else isn't a requirement though, so I feel like we could expand this to cover serving in armed paramilitary groups or professing membership in a terrorist group. This doesn't seem to require a trial, though I can't imagine the Executive arguing against some judicial review of citizenship revocation decisions.

    Likewise I think we could expand the "material aid and support" criminal language to also revoke citizenship but that would obviously require a trial as it's a criminal charge.

    I wonder if SummaryJudgment or DoctorArch or "So It Goes" has any knowledge of previous cases where we've revoked citizenship from a person who does not hold dual passports?

    I mean I think they do this already don't they?

    "We killed some enemy combatants"
    "Uh one of those guys was a citizen"
    "Er... no we revoked it!"

    but yeah I don't really agree that the US should have the power to revoke your citizenship without trial, and you shouldn't be able to implicitly renounce it; you'd have to do a proper official renunciation with the US government

    Honestly it's pretty scary power for the government to have!

    Like, losing your citizenship is one of the top-level punishments! I'd put it right between Life in Prison and Death.
    That not something that should be handed out without a trial!

    It's right there on the passport though. No trial, no nothing. You serve in a foreign army with the intent to relinquish, and it can be removed.

    I'm not entirely bothered by that. The UDHR doesn't even include a right to self defense iirc.

    Actually I'm not entirely positive on that and I'd appreciate a fact check.

    But we should consider it as a deterrent to citizens leaving the country, training in terrorist acts, then returning to kill their fellows.

    Ignoring international law when it suits us is preposterous. We wrote much of it!. Certainly we would need a pressing reason to abandon a commitment like that.

    Hey, I'm not denying that the US does it.

    Or claims to have the authority to do so.

    But IMO it's a 6th amendment violation.



    It's also fucked because, say they pull your citizenship improperly. They get you confused with someone else, or have bad information about you.
    Good luck getting your citizenship back now that you have no right to sue!
