If you were naturalized, only a federal judge can strip you from citizenship.

What you state in your email does not provide me with sufficient information to answer your question. Nonetheless, it is, as a general rule, much more complex procedurally to deport a US citizen then a non-citizen because a citizen is entitled to more rights in the due process of law. However, what matters now is to decide what action you should take to exercise your legal rights so that ICE does not violate them in case it did.

Although the time for getting help from an immigration attorney should have been at the moment you learned that ICE sought to remove/deport you, you still should be able to get relief. A U.S. Citizen is not subject to removal/deportation, although in some instances, such as where fraud it alleged to have taken place in the naturalization process, a U.S. Citizen may be subjected to a formal denaturalization process. My firm's practice is exclusively immigration law, but does not include the type of immigration issues you raised.
