 Does that law specify deportation as punishment?

 
 Yes.

 
What's the law (or executive order)?

There are so many AI portals out there now that it's becoming ridiculous for
you to constantly ask me to do your legal research for you.

I'm a licensed attorney. I get paid for legal research (at least until AI
replaces me). Send me your Venmo and after I get $400 for my one-hour minimum
fee, I'll wade through the federal code and find the citation for you.

 If their status is so precarious, maybe they should refrain from publicly
 supporting terrorist organizations, knowing that doing so can get them
 deported.
 
 At what point do we hold grown adults responsible for the consequences of
 their own actions?

 
Maybe they're stupid. But free speech isn't afforded to only geniuses.

But the consequences of that speech are afforded to everyone.
