THE OOPS DOCTRINE:
Oops, we deported you illegally but, now that we did, it's a matter of 'foreign policy,' LOL, so you can do nothing about it in American courts.
The only thing that *might* stop them is a direct and explicit order from the Supremes - which seems unlikely.
That, or the streets.

Anyone talking about secession?
'Blue' states pay far more into federal govt than we receive.
