58 N. KAPOOR AND K. NARKOWICZ for their marriage prospects and on their ability to work (Shamim and Karim). Amir spoke about the impossibility of applying for jobs, “if you don’t have a passport, they suspect you are a migrant”, noting the continuities between the “enemy within” and the “enemy at the gate” (Sivanandan 2006) and highlighting the merging of anti-terrorism and anti-immigration legislation. The consequences, he felt, were that people were being “pushed underground”. For Ayesha, passport removal put her in a precarious housing situation: “It was difficult to get a flat without the passport … I found a landlord and spoke to him privately.” In another case Shamim reported that on applying for a job for which he had been required to undertake a DBS check, the record came back reporting that he was suspected of funding terrorism, even though he had faced no such charges.

Even as these cases represent the limit case and are few in number they are significant for the symbolic role they play, as illustrations of how citizenship can be unmade. Conclusion: deforming and depriving citizenship The minor attention given to the modified forms of citizenship deprivation is compounded by the near silence on the racialized logics underpinning both
