(WBAP/KLIF) – First Lady Melania Trump is expected to visit the southern U.S. border for the second time in a week.
She boarded an official plane at Joint Base Andrews wearing a black shirt and white slacks. Her spokeswoman would not immediately confirm her destination, citing security concerns.
The first lady’s wardrobe became an issue last week, when she traveled to McAllen, Texas, wearing a jacket that said, “I really don’t care, do u?” on the back. Mrs. Trump’s spokeswoman said there was no message intended in the jacket. President Donald Trump undercut that statement, tweeting it was about his wife not caring about “fake news.” Either way, the choice overshadowed the trip to visit officials and migrant children detained at the border under the president’s “zero tolerance” policy to prosecute illegal border-crossers.
The First Lady said last week that it was important to her that families be reunited. She is expected to receive an update from Border Patrol on how children and parents are being reunited.
