    A citizen cannot be deported. In theory, his citizenship could be revoked by Congress, but given that even the Boston Bomber's citizenship is not even in jeopardy, that's really not going to happen to anyone.

    There are some isolated cases where naturalized citizens' citizenship was revoked because it was obtained by means of fraud, and the women were deported. One was a woman who in 1959 did not reveal that she had been a prison guard in 1939 Nazi Germany, and two other cases were of two female FBI agents who, drunk like a skunk, bragged at a Christmas party that they got married to their US citizen spouses only for a Green Card.
