Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) joined hundreds of liberals in Los Angeles on Saturday, as they protested against the Trump administration, Elon Musk, and the DOGE efforts to cut wasteful spending.
While speaking to the crowd, Waters went on a wild tirade against Trump’s executive order that seeks to ban birthright citizenship, which applies to babies born in the United States to illegal aliens or non-citizens.
But in a twisted and completely inaccurate comparison, Waters claimed this applied to First Lady Melania Trump, and suggested she should be deported.
“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 bizarrely declared.
“We don’t know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look,” she continued, as the liberal crowd cheered her off-the-rails rant.
In fact, Melania was not born in the United States at all, her parents came to the U.S. after she did, all came legally, and all received U.S. citizenship.
WATCH the 22-second unhinged moment below:
Maxine Waters is back. She’s now calling for Melania Trump to be deported.
Melania Trump is an American citizen.
Earlier, she called for Elon Musk to be deported. Also, an American citizen.
Democrats are insufferable. No one can be this dumb.pic.twitter.com/TWOUJd7PsO

Fox News explains: Melania Trump was born in the former Yugoslavia and became a U.S. citizen in 2006, according to official government biographies of the first lady. She is the first U.S. first lady to become a naturalized citizen, and the second first lady to be born outside of the U.S. – following President John Quincy Adams’ wife Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams, who was born in London in 1775.
The first lady sponsored her parents, who were also from current-day Slovenia, for green cards and then citizenship after securing her own citizenship, the New York Times reported in 2018. Viktor and Amalija Knavs, the first lady’s parents, officially became U.S. citizens in 2018. Amalija Knavs died in 2024, while her father Viktor Knavs has been spotted with the Trump family during public events in recent months, including sitting next to first son Barron Trump during the inauguration.
