Dan Swalm seeks amends for Grandmother whose US citizenship was taken

Back in 1907, the US Congress passed the Expatriation Act. That act had some nasty consequences including "denationalizing" American women who were naturally born citizens, but who married men who immigrated to the country.

One of the women who lost her citizenship was the grandmother of Dan Swalm of Minneapolis. He recently discovered that she died as a "woman without a country" and he's setting out to do something about that.

In an interview with WTIP DayBreak Host Roger Linehan, Dan explained what happened to his grandmother how  he is working on getting the US to make amends.
