What sort of crime/offense could get someone deported from the US?

I know emotional abuse is often overlooked due to lack of clear evidence. But this man entered the US after his wife filed for him to. He than gained citizenship through the army and has become so comfortable with his new successful life to the point where he just laughs at her when she voices her concerns about his negative behavior (coming home late, partying, drinking, manipulating her). She's been to the hospital twice for anxiety and panic attacks due to his mental games and him purposely evoking outbreaks of depression. She suspects the marriage was fraud,,,but of course, that won't be easy to prove. Still...is there a slight chance he could get deported?

    If he is already a citizen, it will be nearly impossible. War crimes, e.g. someone who hid their Nazi past from WW2, would do it - and has. Otherwise, you must prove fraud during the visa/immigration process. What lies, deceit, perjury? Falsification of supporting documentation? Bigamy, or prior marriage he failed to disclose?

    She should have wised up long ago. Apparently this has gone on all along, not a sudden change after getting citizenship?

    He is a citizen.  Maybe a crappy one, but, a citizen none-the-less.  Getting him deported would be exceedingly difficult.  However,  she should absolutely leave him!

    Nobody alive has earned citizenship through the army.

    Nothing you mention is a crime. It is grounds for divorce, but not a crime.

    He is a citizen now, and is not going to be deported. He would have to commit treason in order to have his citizenship revoked, and then he could be deported. But nothing will happen until after he has been convicted of treason.

    She needs to leave him. The damage is done. At least she is off the hook as far as her affidavit of support goes.

    No crime or offense can can someone deported from the U.S. while the person is a U.S. citizen.

    In theory, if the person fraudulently obtained citizenship, then it may be possible for him to lose it, but this almost never happens. In the extraordinarily unlikely event that it does happen, then the person would be deported, but not for any crime/offense that happened after getting citizenship.

    There is a very, very, very slight chance that if he stated on his citizenship application that the marriage wasn't fraud and it could be proven that it was and it could be proven that he knew that it was, then he might lose his citizenship for having said it wasn't fraud (but not for the fraud) and then be deported.

    There is no chance that he could get deported for anything he did after becoming a citizen. There is also no chance he could be deported for the marriage fraud if he was honest about it on his application for citizenship.

    Emotional abuse isn't a crime in the US. This wife needs to get into mental health treatment before she makes any big decisions about her marriage. But she should ask herself this...Why would a guy who obtained citizenship without her sponsorship be committing marriage fraud? If he didn't want to be married to her he'd just divorce her as that divorce would have zero effect on his US citizenship. She's got emotional problems and should be seeing a therapist (at the very least). No, he can't be deported just because his wife is a basket case.
