Revocation of statutory citizenship would presumably come from an act of congress, revoking the citizenship of whole classes of people at once, like “everyone born on an overseas military base” or “everyone born on a US territory.”
In contrast, the administration is going after naturalized (constitutional) citizens in a systematic way. It’s not happening at a scale that has any policy-level meaning in a country as large as this, but it can create fear and uncertainty, a feeling of precariousness.
