But any attempt to deport US citizens or people who live in a foreign prison in a foreign prison is obliged to face legal issues.
US citizens born in the United States enjoy legal protection against deportation.
However, there are some cases where naturalized citizens – those who have not been born in the US and who received US citizenship after the legal process – can withdraw their citizenship.
This usually arises when a person in question first of all used fraud to obtain citizenship.
Alex Kujik, Immigration Lawyer and University Professor Case Western Reserve in Ohio, said the BBC that the US citizens who are suspected of criminal gangs or terrorist -13 – theoretically may be deprived of US citizenship.
“If they find out that you were a member of any group who pursued or threatened to pursue others, they may try you denuing you,” Mr. Kuj added.
“So, if you had bandit ties and never disclosed them, they could use it as a reason to denounce you.”
After the person was “denatured”, they are at risk of deportation.
Mr. Kuik noted that any such step will need to be preceded by a “formal trial” held in the federal court.
But the lawyer warned that “citizenship is not what is true if you are naturalized.”
He stressed that he has never heard of cases born with the congenital US, sent abroad for imprisonment for crimes committed and held accountable in the US.
Sheu Dalal Deini, Director for Relations with the Government of the American Immigration Lawyer Association, has similarly stated that “never heard about such a proposal” as to send US citizens to the US prison.
While she acknowledged that there are different scenarios in which naturalized US citizens can lose citizenship, she said that “you cannot denounce a citizen of natural origin.”
