Petition Demands Deportation of Melania Trump and Family
A petition calling for the deportation of First Lady Melania Trump, her son Barron Trump, and her parents has gained traction across the United States. It comes amid widespread criticism of President Donald Trump’s proposed measures to revoke citizenship from certain naturalized Americans. The online petition, originally launched on MoveOn, now carries thousands of signatures and has reignited debate over the consistency and fairness of Trump’s immigration policies.
Petition Calls Out Hypocrisy in Trump’s Immigration Stance
The petition directly targets what it calls the hypocrisy behind Trump’s hardline immigration proposals. It argues that if the revocation of naturalized citizenship is to be justified in the name of national security, it should apply to all—including those close to Trump himself. “Since Trump wants to deport naturalized citizens, I believe it is only fair that Melania and her parents are on the first boat out… If this is truly about national security, then Melania needs to go!” reads the petition.
Questions Raised About Melania’s Visa Path
Critics have also questioned the legitimacy of Melania Trump’s own immigration path. She received U.S. citizenship under the EB-1 visa category, sometimes referred to as the “Einstein visa,” intended for individuals with extraordinary abilities. Several political figures have challenged her eligibility for such a category, suggesting she lacked the credentials typically required for this high-profile visa.
Political Reactions Intensify Scrutiny
Congresswoman Maxine Waters and other Democratic leaders have amplified calls for scrutiny, stating that if Trump wishes to investigate naturalized citizens for potential revocation, he should begin with the First Lady’s own file. These comments reflect a growing push from critics to expose perceived double standards in the former president’s approach to immigration enforcement.
While the petition carries no legal weight, it underscores the deepening political divide and the growing demand for accountability and fairness in U.S. immigration policy.
