Section 1451 requires U.S. attorneys to institute district-court proceedings to revoke naturalization when citizenship was illegally procured or procured by concealment or willful misrepresentation; it also provides notice to the naturalized person. Subsection (e) requires revocation after a conviction for knowingly procuring naturalization unlawfully under 18 U.S.C. §1425.

Current federal denaturalization law is not an automatic citizenship revocation rule for terrorism convictions. It is mainly tied to unlawful procurement, concealment, misrepresentation, and related proceedings or naturalization-fraud convictions.

Section 1481 says a U.S. national loses nationality only by voluntarily performing listed acts with the intention of relinquishing U.S. nationality. The listed conviction-related ground covers treason, forceful overthrow, bearing arms against the United States, and specified sedition-type offenses, not all terrorism-related offenses.

Current loss-of-nationality law does not automatically revoke citizenship from naturalized citizens convicted of terrorism-related offenses; it requires voluntary action plus intent to relinquish nationality and covers narrower offense categories.

Section 1227 applies to aliens: an alien admitted to the United States shall be removed upon order of the Attorney General if within a listed deportable class. Terrorist activities are listed as a deportability ground for aliens described in 8 U.S.C. §1182(a)(3)(B) or (F).

Federal law makes certain noncitizens removable on terrorism grounds, which partly overlaps the removability component, but it does not itself revoke citizenship or make U.S. citizens removable.
