oust

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'turn us out?' is the definition.
'oust' can be an answer for 'turn' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'us out?' bit.

'to turn us in' is the wordplay.
'turn' indicates an anagram.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'to' anagrammed gives 'ot'.
'ot' enclosing 'us' is 'OUST'.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oust that I've seen before include "kick out" , "Drive out, eject from office" , "responsible for expulsions" , "Depose" , "Turn out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
