It depends on the exact circumstances and the residency status of the various people involved. For example, if a US citizen marries a foreigner, they don't automatically lose their US citizenship.

However, if the wife and kids are not US citizens but entered as dependents of a permanent resident who was later deported, the answer would be different (again: depending on exactly what their residency status is).
