Melania expected in Arizona on Thursday to tour immigration facilities
Law enforcement officials are preparing for First Lady Melania Trump to visit Tucson on Thursday, according to an official familiar with her schedule.
She is scheduled to land at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and state police are on standby to help close roads and ramps as she leaves the airport, the official told The Arizona Republic on Wednesday. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to disclose information about the First Lady’s itinerary.
Based on his information, she is not expected to travel to the border.
The official said the trip could be cancelled by the White House.
The first lady’s spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, confirmed to USA TODAY on Tuesday that Trump would be visiting facilities holding immigrant families suspected of illegally crossing into the United States. Grisham has declined to provide details of where the first lady would be traveling.
If in Tucson, it would be Trump’s second round of visits to such facilities since President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week ending the practice of separating children from their parents at the border.
Trump also could visit a facility in Phoenix, according to another person familiar with her tentative plans.
