"Families can be deported together."
 
Uh
 
That would include citizens and permanent residents. They aren't subject
to deportation. Other people claim that's actually wht he means.

I cannot IMAGINE the courts upholding a decision to deport actual
citizens of the United States, even with a majority of conservative
judges and the Republicans in control of the House, Senate and the
Executive Branch unless perhaps an amendment had changed the
Constitution to allow deportation of citizens.

Surely the new "border czar" will, at most, put people who are citizens
in the difficult position of having their families split or leaving
VOLUNTARILY to keep the family together.

Has anyone heard if people that will be deported under this
administration will be allowed to apply to enter the country legally
after they've returned to their home countries (or perhaps a third
country) or will these deportees be forbidden to even apply for normal
immigration ever again? (I'm assuming they can't be banned from applying
for refugee status.)

LOL. Given that no one knows just what the new administration will do
with regards to deportation asking if people will be able to reapply
to enter the country legally seems a bit much. No one knows what the
new administration will do including the people in the new
administration.  I think under current rules if someone is here
illegally and is deported that they can't reapply for to enter the
country legally, but what does that mean for someone that is here
legally under current rules but is deported under the new
administration's rules?

Am I correct in thinking that American popular sentiment still supports
LEGAL immigration, even under the current circumstances, it just wants
to stop border-jumpers from sneaking in? If so, then I would hope that
the deportations to come won't preclude those people applying to come
legally.

Popular sentiment is what you state. That said who knows what the new
administration will do as at times I've heard Trump and his people
suggest the Haitians who are here legally under asylum rules should be
sent back to Haiti. Whether they will actually attempt such a thing
remains to be seen.
