The Mango Mussolini has stated the quiet part out loud: if you make trouble or just to sow terror, they will deport you. Doesn't matter if you are a citizen or not. At least to them.
particularly following his remarks that some U.S. citizens, including those actually born in the country, could be stripped of their nationality and deported for certain crimes.
This is a lie. We know it's a lie. They are actively deporting people, as we speak, that have committed no crime.
That line is propaganda. Its used to create the aura of legitimacy. The secret is that once you are in custody, in chains and on a flight to an active war zone in a small African nation, there is nobody to listen to your pleas of innocence.
Even if someone, on your behalf, spent weeks in a courtroom, to get them returned, how long do you think a 50 or 60 or 70 year old civilian is going to survive in a country like South Sudan with no money, no passport and literally no frame of reference on how to survive in an active war zone with people committing genocide and other crimes against humanity?
An innocent civilian being sent to a place like South Sudan is a defacto death sentence.

Mass displacement, a million refugees, violent crime and economic collapse. One of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. No, not random at all.

My ancestry is Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. Will he have me cut up and delivered in proportional pieces to all those countries?

They can just send you wherever they want. They don't need your permission.
As a detainee I'm not sure you are even told where you are going until you get there.
