A new law has been passed in the United Kingdom which prevents British citizenship from being automatically reinstated to individuals linked to terrorism, extremism, and serious organised crime.
The new law, Deprivation of Citizenship Orders Act 2025, which received Royal Assent on 27 October, ensures that citizenship is not restored after a successful appeal until all additional appeals have been exhausted.
Henceforth, the government will not be required to release individuals from immigration detention or allow them back into the United Kingdom, if they pose a threat to public security and safety whilst appeals are ongoing.
Security Minister, Dan Jarvis, has said that the government takes national security seriously, as the new law affirms that no chances will be taken when it comes to protecting the country and its people.
