A new law in the United Kingdom prevents British citizenship from being automatically reinstated to individuals linked to terrorism, extremism, and serious organised crime.

The 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.

The legislation closes a gap identified following a Supreme Court judgment in February 2025, which allowed people deprived of citizenship to regain that status upon an initial appeal.

Henceforth, the government will not be required to release individuals from immigration detention or allow them back into the UK if they pose a threat to public security and safety whilst appeals are ongoing.

The new law, passed by Parliament on October 21, will also prevent a person from renouncing any other nationalities they hold in order to render themselves solely British.

Security Minister Dan Jarvis said 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.

The new law, however, makes no change to a person’s existing right to appeal and does not expand the reasons for which a person may be deprived of their citizenship.

It follows a similar approach to human rights and asylum appeals cases, where asylum is not granted to a person appealing a rejection until all further appeals have been determined.

God bless Nigeria, God bless nairalanders.

Anything to affect nigerians

The world need to redefine who can be a citizen. Country like Saudi, Iran, india, China, Egypt, libya. Uae, Pakistan and Qatar.

You can never be their citizen by marriage, birth or asylum.

Nigerian politicians should be screened well

Na wa ooo, japa made impossible the more, kudos to UK🇬🇧. Let all stay to build home

Very interesting..... I know they are mostly targeting Arab fundamentalists.... they have every right to do so but

The paragraph caught my eye.

If you are not 100% White, you are not 1st Class. If you like work like a Ningear for 100 years.

All Nigerian politicians should fall under this category they are all links to terrorism and corruption

That's not what that means, nah so Una dey take fail comprehension.as it stands, if you are solely British it means the formal law no concern you as you will be stateless if you get stripped so its impossible. Even with that, its not 100 percent cos some countries do not allow dual citizenship, ie Poland, you cannot be polish and be British. You have to give up polish. This was why lot of polish people went after Brexit.The Idea behind this is for you to keep both nationality so they can deport you back to your first o ne.

They are trying to address Islamic extremism in particular and purge it out. That's all I can see therein.

Hope it's not too late for the UK.

Only when you guys WAKE UP.

I don't even fancy the UK, most of my relatives living in the UK for many years come home, yet they miserly as hell. Don't get me wrong I don't need their money but they have got this conservative culture imbibed in them. I don't want such life so you all can keep your visas

Perhaps your uninformed bias didn’t let you read or your comprehension is impaired!

You must be lacking cognitive skills to have quoted me without reading in context. I detest folks who speedily display ignorance.

"The new law, passed by Parliament on October 21, will also prevent a person from renouncing any other nationalities they hold in order to render themselves solely British."

Hence I am entitled to my own opinion on this matter
