• explaining the two avenues by which a “person generally may pursue a citizenship claim”

• dismissing a claim of citizenship brought after the initiation of removal proceedings
• section 1503 suit cannot be maintained if “citizenship that forms the basis of [a claim] originates, at the least, in connection with the removal proceedings”
