Michelle Obama says fear for immigrants under Trump admin haunts her at night: ‘keeps me up’

Former first lady Michelle Obama expressed her fear of immigration policies for president Donald Trump, saying she kept her at night.

“Now that we have a leadership of a kind of identifying who belongs to whom does not,” said the former first lady on Monday during her appearance on the podcast, “on the purpose of Jay Shetty,” adding that these deportation decisions “do not take place with the courts of White.”

“I am worried about colored people all over this country, and I don’t know that we will have defenders to protect everyone,” she said. “This makes me … scares me. It keeps me at night.”

And she said, “And I see that when I drive the car around Los Angeles, I only look at the faces of people who could be a victim and wonder, how you feel, how you feel standing on the bus station.”

Obama joined the podcast alongside her brother, Craig Robinson, the couple discussed race and bias, as well as a group of other issues such as parenthood and motherhood and linking siblings from childhood to adulthood. Obama did not cite Trump by name during her statements about her fear of immigration policies, but the similarities between deportation efforts and racism that her brother faced as a child when a police officer was accused of stealing a bike at the age of 12.

Obama said when asked about “recent fear tests” for me in this current climate, this is what happens to immigrants.

Obama noted that “fear” does not personally affect her as a former first lady with a police protection.

“Fear for myself is no longer anymore.” “I wander in a four -cars procession with an accompanying police. I’m Michelle Obama. I’m still concerned about my daughters in the world, although it is somewhat known.”

“My fears are what I know happening in the streets throughout the city.”

Obama’s comments come because the Trump administration is in the midst of a huge deportation effort for illegal immigrants who overwhelmed the nation under the Biden administration.
