Mohammed Yousry was convicted of three counts of giving material support to terrorists and one count of conspiracy in the USA v Sattar trial and was sentenced to only 18 months in prison. I am of the opinion that this man's naturalized citizenship should be revoked and he should be deported to his native Egypt. Here is the relevant law:
b. Section 401(h) NA provided that a person who is a U.S. citizen, whether by birth or naturalization, shall lose U.S. citizenship by: Committing any act of treason against, or attempting by force to overthrow or bearing arms against the United States, provided he is convicted thereof by a court martial or by a court of competent jurisdiction. Treason is levying war against the United States or adhering to its enemies, thereby giving them aid and comfort. It may be committed against the country by a national residing within its territorial limits or outside such limits. Loss of nationality could result only after the person had been convicted by a court martial or by a court of competent jurisdiction. There was virtually no administrative discretion possible in its application by the Department. Upon conviction under this law, loss occurred as of the date of the act for which the person was convicted.
