A felony conviction could get you put in revocation proceedings, to revoke your greencard.

Moreover, you cannot apply for citizenship if you are on probation. And, even if your criminal convictions occurred more than 5 years from the date you file for citizenship again, USCIS can still deny your application if they believe that you lack good moral character, due to past convictions.

I do not see that CBP would deny re-entry into the United States, but they could put you in revocation proceedings, depending on how many times you have been convicted of a crime, if those crimes were felonies, how long ago they were, etc.
