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.

Illegally
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.
I know that comment was meant to be funny. But we as attorneys will need to keep fighting to hold the line on the rule of law, which includes respect for precedent.
Agree in principle. But man it sure makes it hard to this when, at the end of the day (or, at the end of the case, rather), the SCOTUS majority is just going to ignore those precedents and/or bend over backwards to do whatever the Administration wants it to ... on an emergency basis and with no rationale provided.
