Denaturalization and Gang Membership
A brief examination of relevant statutes and due process protections both pre- and post-H.R. 4996

Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York's First Congressional District, which encompasses the eastern portion of Long Island, has introduced a bill into the House of Representatives, H.R. 4996,1 that is designed to counter the scourge of membership in criminal organizations.2
This is particularly important to his congressional district, which in recent years has experienced explosive growth of transnational gangs — as have many other communities — particularly the notoriously violent Mara Salvatrucha, also known as MS-13, whose membership consists in significant measure of nationals of El Salvador, Honduras, and, to a lesser extent, Guatemala.3
