The word “deport” means to eject a foreigner from the country he is in. If someone is ejected from a country that he is a citizen of, that is not called deportation, that is called exile. Exile is a practice that has essentially been outlawed by all modern countries, for one because it’s become impossible — there are no longer any habitable places in the world that are not part of some country, so there’s no place to exile people to.

So the answer is that no country can deport any citizen, under any circumstances. And the US can not exile a citizen either.

Under US law, naturalized citizens can be denaturalized if the citizenship was found to be obtained through fraud. That’s just the specific term used for taking back such fraudulent citizenship. It’s not called revocation. Once a person is denaturalized, he is no longer a citizen, so the dictionary allows us to call what might happen next “deportation”.

Deportation vs. Exile: Understanding the Difference

The terms deportation and exile are often used interchangeably, but they refer to distinct legal and historical concepts. Deportation is a formal process initiated by a government to remove an individual from its territory, often due to violations of immigration laws, criminal activities, or national security concerns. It is a legal action enforced by the state, typically involving due process and legal proceedings. In contrast, exile refers to being forced to leave one’s home or country, often for political or punitive reasons, and can be involuntary or self-imposed. Historically, exile was used as a punishment or a means to silence dissent, but it may lack the formal legal framework associated with deportation. While deportation is a modern legal mechanism, exile carries a historical and emotional weight, often tied to personal or cultural identity. Understanding these terms is crucial when discussing issues related to immigration, politics, and human rights.
