DOJ is coming after naturalized U.S. citizens

 That's the reporting from Jay Weaver in this Herald article:

In his all-out war on illegal immigration, President Donald Trump has branded immigrants as “criminals,” “invaders” and “predators,” as his administration targets millions of Haitians, Latin Americans, gang members and foreign college students for deportation. Now, the president has directed the Justice Department to bolster its resources in a major crackdown on naturalized citizens suspected of unlawfully obtaining their U.S. citizenship. According to a recent memo, the department plans to focus not only on individuals who may have lied about a crime or having done something illegal during the naturalization process. But authorities also plan to focus on others who may have committed a crime after becoming citizens — a generally untested legal frontier.

I wonder how Miamians feel about this new frontier.

Costello v. INS, 376 U.S. 120 (1964), held that under immigration statutes, crimes committed by a naturalized citizen cannot be basis for deportation even after citizen is denaturalized.

What a ridicule comment. Precedent from the Supreme Court from justices not appointed by trump does not need to be followed. Duh. Come on, get with the times.

Precedents - Smishidents. The Supreme Court can do whatever the fuck they want. Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
