General Discussion

There's no special dispensation I'm aware of for the parents of such kids, where they've been formally legally protected from deportation just because their child(ren) exist and are birthright citizens. The fact that they often are not in such cases has been based on non-enforcement and basic human decency. Which, obviously, is over with in this country as of yesterday.

This is not to say that Trump's intent is not to make it more politically palatable when he starts doing the very thing you mention. This way ICE will tell the kids 'you better leave with your parents because you might not be a citizen anymore' and Trump tells the world "Well, as everyone knows, because of 'Politics' and 'Evil Democrats' My Royal Proclamation is tied up in the courts, so it's currently a grey area". And the M$M stenographers will dutifully sane-wash his blatant and irrefutable violation of the Constitution for all of us. In the end, when/if he loses this gambit, they'll be out of the country, and in the meanwhile his GOP minions will likely pass laws to make it more difficult for them to come back here and claim their citizenship.

Again, IMHO, a formal law declaring birthright citizenship *retroactively* invalid isn't going to fly, even with the Dirty 6, and Trump knows this. But he doesn't care, he just wants some political cover and plausible deniability for his crimes.
