A petition circulating on MoveOn, a progressive advocacy platform, calls for the deportation of First Lady Melania Trump, her parents, and son Barron Trump, in response to President Donald Trump’s reported plans to deport naturalized citizens. The petition suggests that Trump’s own family should not be exempt from the policies he champions. It argues that if such policies are based on national security concerns, then Melania Trump should also be subject to them. This follows remarks made by Democratic Representative Maxine Waters, who suggested that Trump should investigate and potentially deport Melania Trump, questioning whether her parents were documented. Melania Trump, a naturalized citizen, became a US citizen in 2006. Her parents sponsored by her later became citizens. Waters’ comments drew sharp criticism, while the petition highlights perceived double standards in Trump’s immigration agenda.
