denaturalization
Losing national status
Denaturalization is the revocation of citizenship, returning someone to non-citizen status.
Governments may denaturalize individuals who obtained citizenship through fraud, committed certain crimes, or joined foreign militaries.
The process is rare in democracies and controversial, as it can render people stateless: He faced denaturalization after investigators discovered he had lied on his application.
