Why isn’t ICE arresting Melania Trump?
Donald Trump is a Felon married to an Immigrant
Donald Trump is legally a convicted felon. A New York jury found him guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records—related to hush-money payments—on May 30, 2024, making him the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a felony.
Although the judge issued an “unconditional discharge” on January 10, 2025, meaning no jail time, fines, or probation were imposed, the conviction stands on his record. In effect, he is carrying the legal status of a felon, with certain consequences—such as restrictions on firearm ownership.
In summary: Yes, Trump is a felon in the eyes of the law—convicted of serious business-related felonies—even though he did not serve a prison sentence.
Why Melania Trump’s Immigration Background Has Drawn Attention
Melania Trump entered via a legal immigration route, later obtaining a high-skill immigrant visa (EB‑1), which some argue may have required influence given her modeling career. At an immigration hearing, Rep. Jasmine Crockett criticized how Melania was awarded the EB‑1 visa, questioning whether her qualifications truly met that category.

Trump’s previous marriages were also to immigrants
Ivana Trump, his first wife (1977–1992), was born in Czechoslovakia and became a U.S. citizen in 1988.
His mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, emigrated from Scotland in 1930 and became a U.S. citizen in 1942.
