Michelle Obama Voices Concern Over Trump's Deportation Policy

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has voiced deep concern over President Donald Trump's deportation policies, stating that the current climate for immigrants in the U.S. 'keeps her up at night.' Speaking on the 'On Purpose with Jay Shetty' podcast, Obama emphasized that while she personally feels protected, she worries about the safety and fair treatment of immigrants and people of color, particularly regarding a perceived lack of due process in deportation decisions. She drew parallels between her brother's childhood experience of racial profiling and the experiences of migrants today, highlighting the role of bias and racism in such policies. Obama expressed fears that leadership is 'indiscriminately determining who belongs and who doesn’t,' and questioned whether adequate advocacy exists to protect vulnerable communities. Her remarks reflect broader Democratic concerns about the human impact of aggressive immigration enforcement and the importance of protecting civil rights.
