"One fact often getting lost in the shuffle is that a naturalized citizen cannot be denaturalized for anything that happens after their naturalization. Obviously, a citizen who commits a federal crime can still be prosecuted and imprisoned for it, but their citizenship itself cannot be touched on that basis. Whatever the administration would want to trot out to target a citizen would need to have occurred during or prior to the naturalization process."

Let's hope that whatever judge Trump's doj cherry picks agrees with this, and that the supremacist court does as well.

But the bottom line is, does citizenship even matter if Trump's Imperial Storm Troopers can snatch citizens off the street and dump them anywhere in the world? How long before lgbtq activists are dumped in Uganda where they are subject to the death penalty?
