A CNN political commentator recently raised questions about the White House’s deportation efforts, particularly why there isn’t more scrutiny surrounding the citizenship status of the Trump family. During a panel on “CNN Newsnight with Abby Phillip,” the commentator discussed the administration’s push to revoke citizenship from naturalized Americans who have committed crimes.
This conversation was sparked by a memo from the Department of Justice issued on June 11, which instructed U.S. attorneys to prioritize this process as part of the Trump administration’s crime crackdown. While Trump has accused critics of ignoring the “human interests” of immigrants, the commentator proposed a broader discussion about the legal status of the Trump family.
“If we’re going to have this conversation, let’s look at all aspects, including Donald Trump Jr. and the children of Melania and Ivana,” the commentator said. “Why isn’t that discussion on the table right now?”
He made a point that after discussing these issues, Tiffany Trump might be the only one left to consider. Notably, First Lady Melania Trump was born in Slovenia before obtaining U.S. citizenship, and Ivana Trump, Trump’s first wife and mother of Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr., was born in the Czech Republic before also becoming a citizen. Tiffany Trump’s mother, Marla Maples, is an American citizen.
All of Trump’s children were born in the U.S. The DOJ memo from Attorney General Brett Shumate emphasized that one of the administration’s key priorities is addressing national security risks posed by individuals, including those involved in terrorism or espionage.
The government also maintains the ability to revoke citizenship from individuals involved in serious human rights violations.
