Melania Trump to be deported? Elon Musk's stern warning to Congresswoman over her shocking calls

Congresswoman Maxine Waters suggested that US President Donald Trump consider deporting his wife, Melania Trump, while criticizing his administration's immigration policies. Waters went after the First Lady of the United States at a Los Angeles rally protesting DOGE cuts, where she referenced Trump's executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship, which confers citizenship status on people born here.

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

"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,' she said, personalizing the political attack. 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," she said at the rally.

"We don't know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look," said Waters, who was among the first House Democrats calling to impeach Trump during his first term.

Elon Musk warns Maxine Waters

After video of Maxine Water started doing rounds on social media, Elon Musk took it upon himself and gave a stern reply to her. Coming out in defence of Melania Trump, "At some point, the many crimes of Maxine Waters will catch up to her," Musk wrote these 14 words reacting to a video of Waters demanding or at least hinting at Melania Trump's deportation.


Melania, whose maiden name is Knauss, is a Slovenia-born model who emigrated to the U.S. and became a naturalized citizen. Melania Trump is the first U.S. first lady to be a naturalized citizen and the second to be born outside the United States, following Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams, wife of President John Quincy Adams, who was born in London in 1775.

According to her official government biography, Melania Trump became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2006 following her marriage to Donald Trump. She later sponsored her parents for green cards, leading to their eventual U.S. citizenship.

Her parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs, became U.S. citizens in 2018. Amalija Knavs passed away in 2024, while Viktor Knavs has remained publicly visible, attending events with the Trump family. Recently, he was seen sitting next to his grandson, Barron Trump, during the inauguration.

Throughout the presidential campaign, Melania maintained a low public profile. She was absent from several key events, including Donald Trump's Super Tuesday primary victory celebration, and did not attend court proceedings, such as his criminal hush money trial in New York.

The controversy around Melania Trump's US citizenship is nit new. Contrary to what Waters claimed that it should be probed whether Melania Trump's parents were documented, they came to the US after Melania.
