It's Today Explained.

It's hundreds of Kenyans in the town of Nanyuki today protesting a plan by the Trump administration to send American citizens who've been exposed to Ebola in Central Africa to Kenya instead of bringing them home.

This Ebola outbreak started in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

It's since spread to Uganda.

But there are currently no confirmed cases in Kenya, and so Kenyans are asking, why send the Americans here?

Today Explained from Vox does not appreciate cliches, but between cuts to American aid in the region, the sheer aggressiveness of this virus, and conspiracy theories that threaten public health workers, this Ebola outbreak has become a perfect storm.

That is coming up next.

The Wall Street Journal broke the story of the Trump administration's plan to send Americans who've been exposed to Ebola to Kenya instead of letting them come home.

WSJ national politics reporter Sabrina Siddiqui, what is the plan?

OK, so what the U.S.

is saying is we don't want you coming back into the U.S.

You look at the reaction to this here at home and there's a lot of shock.
