Michelle Obama’s Selective Amnesia: Paging ICE for Reality Check

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A Democrat who once lived in the White House is now pretending to fear the very policies they helped pioneer. This week’s installment? Michelle Obama—the woman who spent eight years riding in Air Force One, dancing with Jimmy Fallon, and planting kale in the White House garden—now claims she lies awake at night fretting that Donald Trump might deport people of color.
