A Republican House lawmaker has proposed new legislation that would revoke the citizenship of people who came to the U.S. as immigrants if they are involved in gang activity.
Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., introduced “Protecting our Communities from Gang Violence Act," which would revoke the citizenship of people who acquired citizenship through naturalization and got involved in gang activity either ten years prior or within ten years of becoming a citizen.

According to Rogers v Bellei (1971), it would seem it could only affect immigrants who received that status from the bill's passage forward. A naturalized citizen has a right to that citizenship under the law.
