Here's a clip of Trump saying it...
NEW: Asked whether he is looking to deport “U.S. citizens” who are “fully naturalized Americans” to El Salvador, Trump says yes, “if they're criminals” who have committed violence.
“Yeah. Yeah. That includes them...”
“We're studying the laws right now...”

It's always a healthy sign when a new administration just starts setting parts of the government on fire.
