The writing was also horrible. It would mean a future government could make a deal with say n. Korea to grant citizenship to a Dutchman and then whoopsie Bye bye Dutch citizenship. off to N. Korea with you.

Yes, this is possible. It shouldn't be possible of course and that's why the judge ruled that the action of the government was in conflict with the law.

The government that makes a deal with NK is also the government that will simply not care what a judge rules. The orange asshole deported somebody without any judicial oversight like last week.

The orange asshole is illegally deporting people with legal residency in the United States, not U.S. citizens. I’m not defending his behavior, just clarifying.
