There is no lawful way to "deport" U.S. citizens. And although citizenship can be revoked, any attempt by the government would run into significant statutory, constitutional, and practical obstacles.

Bonus 145: How (We Think) Emergency Applications Work
https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-145-emergency-applications
Published: April 24, 2025 11:15
Given how much of the Supreme Court's work in recent years (okay, days) has been focused on emergency applications, it seemed worth attempting an explainer on how (we think) they're handled.

Published: April 21, 2025 11:11

144. The Supreme Court's Late-Night Alien Enemy Act Intervention
https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/144-the-supreme-courts-late-night
Published: April 19, 2025 12:41
Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.
Bonus 143: Private Special Prosecutors and Criminal Contempt of Court
https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-143-private-special-prosecutors
Published: April 17, 2025 11:45
The Alien Enemy Act case may end up with Chief Judge Boasberg appointing a private lawyer to prosecute criminal contempt of court. The law currently allows such a move, but I believe it shouldn't.
143. The State of Play in the Abrego Garcia Case
https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/143-the-state-of-play-in-the-abrego
Published: April 15, 2025 18:13
The Trump administration isn't defying the letter of Thursday's Supreme Court ruling. But it's daring the federal courts to take much more aggressive steps to block its immigration policies.
142. Five Questions About Domestic Use of the Military
https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/142-five-questions-about-domestic
Published: April 14, 2025 11:15
The federal government's authorities to use the military for domestic law enforcement are old, broad, and vague. They may soon become far more relevant than they've been for quite a long time.
