White House claims Trump administration deported over three million immigrants
The White House told the public that the American government sent more than three million people out of the country because they did not have permission to stay.
These people are called undocumented immigrants.
The White House also said that for 15 months, no undocumented migrants were allowed to come into the country.
President Donald Trump signed two new orders.
One order limits which babies born in America can become citizens automatically.
The other order tells government agencies to stop a practice called birth tourism, where people travel to America to have babies.
The White House said many of the people who were sent away had been convicted of violent crimes.
It also said it stopped giving money to more than a million undocumented immigrants and barred them from many healthcare programs.
The government is checking whether 88 people should lose their citizenship because they may have gotten it unfairly.
These numbers are the administration's own claims, and it did not share many details to prove them.
The White House claimed the Trump administration has deported more than three million undocumented immigrants.
It said no undocumented migrants had been released into the United States for 15 consecutive months.
President Donald Trump signed two executive orders restricting birthright citizenship for certain children and directing agencies to halt birth tourism.
The administration said it filed claims against 88 people in what it called an unprecedented denaturalisation drive.
It also said it terminated taxpayer-funded benefits for over 1.4 million undocumented immigrants and suspended visa processing for 75 countries.
