You can't really strip african americans of citizenship and deport them. That would cause so many problems. Have you considered we can't force people into countries that we don't control. You can't just saying I banish you to a land faraway. If the target country doesn't want them, they don't need to take them.

That's a problem that can be solved with money. I'm sure there's an African country that would be willing to receive people in return for continued/increased aid.

First off, it wouldn't be just any African-Americans, it would be criminal gang members and their families. And prisoners can definitely be expelled, such as reg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convicts_in_Australia . And there is historical precedents for expulsions, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_of_the_Moriscos . You are right that various Sub-Saharan African countries would be unlikely to be interested in that, but it ought to be possible to figure something or another out. Liberia was tried out, after all, though that was definitely not a success, given the cannibal warlords in Liberia (see some interviews with former cannibal warlords of Liberia as part of a documentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRuSS0iiFyo ).

Should be easier if they’re sent to failed states like Somalia, Ethiopia.

They can’t do much to prevent it and would probably agree if paid a bit for each one.

It’s worth a try anyway.
