Michelle Obama Says President Trump's Deportation Policy Keeps Her Up at Night

It should have been clear to everyone that candidate Donald Trump pledged mass deportations if he were elected, and he was, by a healthy margin. He won every swing state. The people had spoken: they wanted all of the millions of illegals let in by Joe Biden sent home. Democrats, though, obviously don't want anyone deported. They've flown to El Salvador to try to bring an illegal immigrant and "Maryland man" back to the United States from his native country. And they had a fit when the White House posted photos of illegals who'd been arrested on the White House lawn. The photos don't even give names … just a mug shot and the crime, such as murder or fentanyl trafficking.

Michelle Obama says she's so concerned by Trump's deportation policy that it keeps her up at night.

Michelle Obama says Trump’s deportation of illegal migrants keeps her “up at night.”

… the advocates to protect everybody.
And that … frightens me, it keeps me up at night.”

How about having advocates to protect the American citizens? There certainly aren't among the Democrats or the NGOs they fund.

The New York Post reports:

During a conversation about race and fear, the former first lady acknowledged that she has a pretty protected lifestyle, while fretting that everyday people living outside her bubble might be suffering.
“In this current climate, for me it’s what’s happening to immigrants,” Obama, 61, told “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” during a podcast episode that dropped Monday when asked her most “recent test of fear.”
…
Obama was joined during the interview by her brother, Craig Robinson, who recounted trauma from when a black police officer accused him of stealing a fancy new bike when he was a kid. She drew parallels to his experience and what she believes migrants are enduring in today’s environment.
“There’s so much bias and so much racism and so much ignorance that fuels those kind of choices,” she bemoaned. “I worry for people of color all over this country, and I don’t know that we will have the advocates to protect everybody.
“And that … frightens me, it keeps me up at night,” she added. “How do you how do you feel comfortable going to work, going to school, when you know that there could be people out here judging you and who could upend your life in a second — that’s who I worry for right now.”
