    also… naturalized citizens of the US have to renounce their citizenship in their nation of origin. these are people who love america in ways most of us can’t understand or even really fathom. and most of them are definitively not safe in their country of origin. this is truly vile shit

      I see it being used as a political tool to silence dissent. Speak up? Get you or someone you love deported and have them lose their citizenship.

      So then wouldn’t stripping them of their citizenship render them stateless? Maybe that would be the one thing that stops this since statelessness is generally frowned upon, especially when forced on people. Sounds like it should be illegal under international law if it’s not already.

          Lol, of course they didn’t sign it. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’m Canadian and Canada didn’t sign either, fucking fantastic. We routinely get away with this kind of thing too.

        Ah yes, because we’re dealing with an administration that definitely respects convention, cares if things are frowned upon, and always follows the law
