Furthermore, a person who has renounced U.S. nationality will be required to apply for a visa to travel to the United States, just as other aliens do. If found ineligible for a visa, a renunciant could be barred from the United States.

But where would they deport you to? Antarctica? The ocean? The moon?

The airline doesn't allow you onto the plane. The US doesn't allow you off of the ship. And God help you if you think you're getting through the Mexican border.

Ok but assuming you're in the US to begin with. Do you get to stay for lack of a place to banish you to?

Maybe to the shadow realm? Maybe all this time those paranormal spooky ghosts sightings were not dead people but just stateless

A person who is a national of the United States whether, by birth or naturalization, shall lose his nationality by voluntarily...

making a formal renunciation of nationality before a diplomatic or consular officer of the United States in a foreign state

You have to be outside the US to renounce. Deportation is not the US's problem.

But yes, that's one of the big issues of statelessness they can't send you back anywhere.

Edit: second half the quote was not formatted as a quote. fixed

Interesting. I wonder what they would do with someone who renounced citizenship while outside of the US, but then somehow smuggled their way back in.

Guantanamo bay. Probably
