Melania Trump's Immigration Lawyer Backs DACA
First lady Melania Trump’s lawyer, who once vouched for the former model regarding her immigration status, is “prayerful” that President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration program won’t be dismantled by the Trump administration and Congress. He says he works to help DACA beneficiaries, whom he calls "good souls."
The U.S. attorney general on Tuesday said the DACA program would be shuttered; it will be up to Congress to make that happen.
You might remember the lawyer, Michael Wildes, from Trump's struggle during the final months of the 2016 election season to quell rumors that she worked in the U.S. without proper documentation in the 1990s. A managing partner at Wildes & Weinberg, Wildes wrote a letter confirming that the first lady went through the correct legal processes to immigrate to the United States from Slovenia, which she tweeted out to her followers. He's also represented the Trump family and its businesses for years.
Wildes has a personal connection to immigration reform and DACA: His father, Leon Wildes, planted the seeds of DACA when he represented the musician John Lennon in his deportation trial and clarified the meaning of deferred action in a court of law. Wildes has voiced his support for DACA and now works with many of the program’s recipients—people who, he says, are everything from Marine veterans to Harvard graduates. During a phone interview with Newsweek, Wildes on Tuesday said, “I believe the president has great heart and I’ve represented his family and businesses for many years now.
