Deportaation/Removal of a US born citizen

dejuanmathews · Aug 20, 2006

We generally accept that a citizen born in the US can not be deported. However, what is the legal authority for this belief?

Would treason qualify one for automatic revocation of citizenship? If you are born in the US, then where would they deport you to, especially if you never claimed any other citizenships? Guantánamo Bay?
