There’s a lot of shenanigans they could do within the law (not even mentioning the stuff they could do outside of the law):
If they “find” evidence of any crime committed before his oath ceremony, yes, it’s possible. Within 5 years of naturalization, if they “find” evidence of “terrorist” or “communist” associations, yes.
Also, denaturalization is not done in a criminal court, it’s a civil trial, below the “beyond reasonable doubt” standard of proof that a criminal trial would require. I’m not sure if a jury is even required.
Just an example: If they find a video of him smoking weed an hour before his oath ceremony, technically that could be used against him, marijuana is still illegal under the controlled substance act. Not sure how that would practically play out in court tho.
I’m actually kinda worried for myself. I have no idea exactly how clean/by-the-books my parent’s tax records are or if their taxes are even done correctly, if they did anything shady, and if it happened before my mom got citizenship, she could lose citizenship and I would lose it too. So… yea… no wonder why I can’t sleep these days.

Or they could extend the definition of “terrorist” enough that pretty much anyone they want to target will qualify. And who would defend a terrorist?
