∙ 13y agoA person can lose their citizenship if they commit a heinous crime, like treason or terrorism.
BUT, a country cannot deprive a person of citizenship if this would render them stateless.
For example, if Bill is a citizen of America and France (dual-citizenship) America can revoke his citizenship and he would be forced to return to France. But if Bill is only a citizen of America, he cannot be deprived of his citizenship because then he would not belong to any country.
