Q: How do I prevent my naturalized citizen daughter in law from being deported by Trump?
A: You're misinformed. If somebody is a naturalized citizen, then they are not subject to deportation.
A:
There appears to be a misunderstanding - naturalized U.S. citizens cannot be deported. Once someone has gone through the naturalization process and taken the oath of citizenship, they have the exact same rights and protections as natural-born citizens under the U.S. Constitution.
Your daughter-in-law's citizenship status is permanent and cannot be revoked except in extremely rare cases involving fraud during the naturalization process. No president or administration has the authority to deport U.S. citizens, regardless of how they obtained their citizenship.
If you're concerned about your daughter-in-law's status, you can help her keep important documents safe and easily accessible - including her naturalization certificate, U.S. passport, and any other proof of citizenship. For additional peace of mind, you may want to consult with an immigration lawyer who can explain your daughter-in-law's rights and address any specific concerns. If anyone questions her citizenship status, she has the right to legal representation.
