Revoking citizenship status<>turning someone into a criminal, if that’s the point.  People want them deported, not incarcerated….

Doesn't revoking their citizenship turn them into "illegals" subject to deportation?

Ex post facto laws are unconstitutional. Can’t imagine executive orders being any different.

Is that only for criminal laws?

The prohibition on ex post facto laws applies only to Congress and the States. It has nothing to do with Executive authority.
