  • Donald Trump reentered office about six months ago,

  • and since then we've covered a lot of immigration stories on Today Explained.

  • We've done deportations to a concentration camp in El Salvador.

  • As many as possible.

  • We've done deportations to Gitmo.

  • Most people don't even know about it.

  • We've done people being turned away at points of entry and airports.

  • We don't want them.

  • But today, we're going to do a different one.

  • One that doesn't get as much attention.

  • Today, we're going to talk about denaturalization.

  • With the paper to prove it.

  • They're old to our country.

  • Many of them were born in our country.

  • You want to know the truth.

  • So maybe that'll be the next job that we'll work on together.

  • Megan Rapinoe here.
