Congresswoman Maxine Waters suggested that Donald Trump should consider deporting his wife, Melania Trump, while criticizing his administration's immigration policies.

Why It Matters

The president has vowed to remove millions of migrants without legal status from the United States as part of his mass deportation program.

What to Know

The California Democrat made the remarks about Melania Trump while expressing her opposition to cuts to federal programs by the president's adviser Elon Musk, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

"When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he's going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America. If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania," Waters said at a rally in Los Angeles.
