'That would be fitting': Internet supports Trump's suggestion of Prince Harry's deportation If elected

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: During a recent interview with TV presenter Nigel Farage on GB News, former President Donald Trump sparked controversy by suggesting that Prince Harry might be subject to deportation from the United States if it is discovered that he provided false information on his visa application.

Trump's comments have reignited debates over the Duke of Sussex's past drug use and immigration status, prompting scrutiny from both the public and legal experts.

Question of special privileges

During the interview, which is set to air on Tuesday, March 19, Trump explained that Harry would not receive special treatment if it's discovered that he lied about his history of drug use.

Referring to Harry's admission in his autobiography 'Spare' to past drug experimentation, Trump highlighted the potential legal implications under US immigration law.

"We'll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they'll have to take appropriate action," Trump remarked, responding to Farage's question about whether Harry should enjoy special privileges.

"Appropriate action? Which might mean…not staying in America?" Farage asked.

"Oh, I don't know. You'll have to tell me. You just have to tell me. You would have thought they would have known this a long time ago," Trump responded.

Sky News reported that the former president's position on the matter has remained steadfast, having previously remarked that he "wouldn't shield" Harry and implied that if he were to win the election, Harry "would be left to fend for himself."

Harry's past drug use, including cocaine, cannabis, and psychedelic mushrooms, as detailed in his autobiography, could pose significant challenges to his visa status.

US visa applications require applicants to disclose any history of drug abuse or addiction, a factor that could influence immigration decisions.

The Duke's potential deportation woes gained traction following his interview with 'Good Morning America' in February, where he addressed the possibility of seeking US citizenship but downplayed its priority.

"American citizenship is a thought that has crossed my mind but certainly not something that's a high priority for me right now," he said at the time.

This revelation raised questions about the accuracy of Harry's visa application, particularly regarding his response to questions about drug use.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has faced pressure to disclose Harry's immigration records amid allegations of misrepresentation.

A conservative group, the Heritage Foundation, has petitioned for the release of these documents to ensure transparency and prevent special treatment.

In a court filing, DHS requested an additional two weeks to locate and review Harry's immigration records, citing the need for thorough examination and interagency coordination.

"Defendant has begun the search but searching for and reviewing the records has taken longer than anticipated," lawyers for the agency wrote in the filing.

"Thus, having established good cause, the defendant respectfully requests an additional fourteen days, up to and including April 4, 2024, to comply with the court's order," they added.

Nile Gardiner, representing the Heritage Foundation, stressed the importance of holding individuals accountable regardless of their status or privilege.

"Harry has publicly admitted to extensive illegal drug use," he wrote recently. "What do we submit this means? That Harry seems to have received special treatment: the DHS looked the other way if the Prince answered truthfully, or it looked the other way if the Prince lied on his visa application. Either action would be wrong."

The DHS, however, refused to release any information to "protect the Duke's privacy." The matter is now in federal court, where Judge Nichols will decide on the best course of action.
