    Green card != Citizenship. A green card could always be revoked. A citizenship can’t.

    And those children were not deported. The parents were, and the parents decided to take their kids with them instead of dumping them on the foster system.

      There’s a level of mental gymnastics here that I’ve not seen since before the bad place banned me.

      Green cards can be revoked, as a punishment after a jury trial for a felony. None of that happened, ice revoked a green card unilaterally. Given they broke the rules there, they will break the rules on citizenship when it interferes with their goal.

      Ice is already infamous for detaining us citizens for months at a time. Why wouldn’t they push that further?

      They’ve also reported us citizens ‘by mistake’ several times during the Obama and Trump I presidency.

      Also deporting the kids is deporting the kids regardless of other circumstances. They were processed for deportation through ice. That will forever be on their civil records and make life harder if the US is still around when they grow up and if they’re stupid enough to ever try to return.
