As Donald Trump has moved on to deporting legal US immigrants, there is one US immigrant who got legal status whom the president never wants to talk about.

Trump has been avoiding the conversation about how his wife, Melania, was in the country illegally but ended up with legal status for nine years.

The media has forgotten this story, but MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell hasn’t.

O’Donnell said:

Donald Trump has never been very serious about deadlines. You might recall his promise nine years ago that his wife would hold a press conference during Donald Trump's first presidential campaign to explain her immigration status, and she would do that to explain the evolution of her immigration status. Having arrived in this country, apparently on a tourist visa, there are people being rounded up by federal agents dressed as soldiers carrying weapons of war for overstaying tourist visas.
