I believe the term for deporting/expelling citizens is "exile" another one is "banish"

YES - Can it be done?
YES - Should it be done?

NO - Will it be done?

Actually, there is no mechanism in our laws for deporting, banishing, or exiling any natural-born U.S. citizen. Naturalized citizens may, under certain circumstances, have their citizenship revoked, but natural-born U.S. citizens cannot have their citizenship removed, nor can they be force to leave the United States.

If citizens break the law, they can be imprisoned. That's it.
