What she did was horribly wrong, but Trump just can not make up his laws--we have to follow the process and provide a hearing.

Questions of citizenship
Citizenship is a fundamental constitutional right, the most valuable right you will have, he said. If it can be taken away, then it must be done with due process of law. Where citizenship is concerned, thats a judicial hearing. There has to be a process. You cant simply say it. You would have to prove it.
The State Department maintains that no such process is required, as it claims Muthana is not, and has never been, an American citizen. She stands outside of the 14th Amendments guarantee of birthright citizenship, the government argues, because her father, who is now a naturalized citizen, was formerly a Yemeni diplomat under the jurisdiction of his home country. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services guidelines specify an exception to birthright citizenship for children not born subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, as the 14th Amendment requires.
She may have been born here, Pompeo said Thursday on NBCs Today show.
"She is not a U.S. citizen, nor is she entitled to U.S. citizenship.
This is because she was born to a diplomat, he said.
But documents provided by Muthanas lawyers indicate that her father had been discharged from his diplomatic position by the time of her birth on Oct. 28, 1994, by which point her mother had also gained permanent residency status. When the government revoked the young womans passport in January 2016, it stated in a letter that she was not a birthright citizen because her fathers termination had not been officially documented until February 1995 a claim disputed by the familys lawyers, who point to a notice from the United States Mission to the United Nations dating the end of his service to Sept. 1, 1994.

That was when her passport was revoked and it was claimed she was not a birthright citizen.
