Legal Immigration: Issues of Illegality

Scanning Lucianne.com this afternoon and two related items caught my eye.

One reports that all but one of the 47 people indicted in greater Minneapolis for stealing funds meant for child nutrition during Covid are members of the area's large Somali immigrant community. This is something most news accounts of the indictments fail to note. 

The alleged behavior represents a poor way to repay American hospitality. I wonder, can their immigrant status be revoked if convicted? Might a pause in Somali immigration be wise?

The second reports a number of immigrant scientists employed to work at Los Alamos nuclear facility have subsequently returned to China to work in their aerospace and defense industries.

Again, same question concerning revocation of immigration. Plus one more, was it wise to employ scientists from an unfriendly nation who still have roots there? 

This intuitively appears to have been a dumb thing to do, one that should stop. Am I wrong?
