Democratic Representative Maxine Waters of California urged President Donald Trump to investigate and possibly deport First Lady Melania Trump during an anti-DOGE protest held in Los Angeles last weekend.
Footage of her remarks gained significant attention online as Waters proposed that the First Lady’s citizenship status—she has been a U.S. citizen since 2006—should be examined in response to the president’s executive order aimed at abolishing birthright citizenship.
Waters stated from the rally stage, “When he [Trump] discusses birthright and intends to reverse the constitutional provision that grants rights to those born in the U.S., even if their parents are undocumented, perhaps he should first scrutinize Melania. If he is intent on identifying individuals born here with undocumented parents, he might want to start with her.”
She further remarked, “We are uncertain about the documentation status of her parents. It may be prudent to investigate this matter.”
