People have also questioned whether Wendy and Eddie will be deported, as they are both originally from Nigeria and became naturalized citizens.
“They have no ICE detainers against them as of now, and these days ICE is very proactive in beginning proceedings swiftly after an arrest,” a source recently told a media outlet.
Regardless of their naturalized citizenship, though, a legal source noted they could still potentially face deportation.
Judith Delus-Montgomery, an immigration attorney, stated Wendy and Eddie’s case typically would not have been one that interested her.
“However, this President [Donald Trump] and this administration have indicated that they are going to start denaturalizing citizens if they don’t like what they’re saying, if they don’t like their politics… if they can find a way to do it, they will do it,” she said.
“These people [Wendy and Eddie] who have been to the White House, they have pounded pavement for Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. We see that [this administration] has the ability to go after whoever they want and to make a mountain out of a molehill.”
She also noted if the government were to look at Wendy and Eddie’s citizenship applications and found any issues, they could potentially lose their citizenship and be deported.
