The documentary “offers unprecedented access to the 20 days leading up to the 2025 Presidential Inauguration — through the eyes of the First Lady herself,” according to its official description

Oh god I bet it is even more insufferable than is even possible.

Has ICE checked her out? She is a known associate of a rapist felon. She’s ran in circles that include some of the most prolific pedophile’s of our times.

Melania most definitely violated the terms of her first US visa and obtained her second visa questionably.

She was working in the US in the 1990s without a work visa, of that there is no doubt.

She then "self-sponsored" for a 'EB-1' visa, which are nicknamed 'Einstein visas' and "reserved for people of extraordinary ability, and sustained national or international acclaim", which immigration experts have stated does not even remotely fit in with her résumé or status at the time.

Though prior govt admins would not bother seeking deportation for such violations long after a person has already become a US citizen (even if they had visa breeches that let to their citizenship), these misrepresentations and violations would certainly put anyone else in the crosshairs of the current Trump admin for deportation.
