I have 3 personal thoughts regarding this memo, please correct me if I am wrong.
1: You can absolutely safely travel to POC and return after you become a citizen as long as you can get the visa of POC.
2: PR travel back to POC still have a little risk, there is a little chance IO might question the purpose of your trip and if your answer can not satisfy them, they can put bad things on your record and you will have trouble when you apply citizenship and/or USCIS will contact you later to revoke your GC if they think your case is a fraud. The IO cannot take your GC away at the airport.
3: The fact sheet didn’t make the #2 situation worse or better. USCIS just explicitly said there is a risk. Before the publish of this fact sheet, everyone (us and USCIS) knows there is a risk, we just didn’t see an official document which clearly describe it.
4: A PR go back to POC with a Reentry permit will be much much safer if he/she clearly typed in the reentry permit application that the destination of the trip is the POC and the purpose is visiting sick parents/get married etc. In this situation, I think USCIS already “pre- approved your return to POC before your trip”.
