Cambodia has introduced a law that revokes citizenship for anyone convicted of treason. Observers say it follows a pattern of stern measures against political opponents of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party, raising concerns about the climate for dissent in the country.

Cambodian legislators have approved a law permitting the revocation of citizenship from individuals accused of colluding with foreign countries. Rights observers fear this could become a powerful tool for suppressing political opposition and silencing critical voices.

In an unprecedented move, President Donald Trump announced he’s considering revoking the citizenship of actress and activist Rosie O’Donnell due to her outspoken criticism of his administration. Legal experts highlight that such action would violate the 14th Amendment, which safeguards the citizenship of natural-born Americans like O’Donnell.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) has condemned Rep. Andy Ogles’s (R-TN) attempt to revoke the citizenship of Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, calling it “profoundly unAmerican.” Mamdani, who recently won New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, is at the center of this heated political dispute. The clash underscores rising tensions over naturalized citizens in politics.
