This market will resolve to YES if at least one verifiable case occurs where a person who was a U.S. citizen at the time (either by birth or naturalization) is deported from the United States before January 1, 2029.
The market will resolve to NO if no such deportation occurs before January 1, 2029.
A deportation case does not qualify if the individual has been denaturalized before deportation.
If a naturalized citizen commits fraud in the naturalization process but is deported while still recognized as a U.S. citizen, it will count.
A case where a qualifying individual is deported will resolve to YES even if a subsequent judicial order mandates that the individual be returned.
E.g., We saw a birthright US Citizen child deported with her parents and several siblings, some of which are also birthright citizens

@SusanneinFrance While despicable, the people who were actually deported were not citizens, and they merely took their citizen children with them. Like I said, it was a horrible thing to do, but not sufficient for this market.
@spiderduckpig Denaturalization does not count for this (ie. if a citizen is denaturalized and then deported, this does not resolve YES). Deporting a naturalized citizen that committed fraud in the naturalization process would count though - they are still a citizen.
