Published | Video Starts at 00:14

Over the past year, The Trump administration has begun deporting procedures for 34 former members of the military and 248 relatives of former military members. This number doesn't include the countless former military members that have been swept up into detentions by roving patrols and lawless arrests. These individuals are real people. (00:14–00:29)
