      “Officially” maybe not, but Goldman was denaturalized like a decade after she should’ve been because the government wanted a reason to deport her and they couldn’t while she was a US citizen. So they made her denaturalization retroactive. Steimer was denaturalized and deported for the “crime” of printing and distributing anti-war leaflets.
