Sen. Mike Lee calls for Prince Harry's deportation

• "Let's deport him!" the senator wrote.

Between the lines: Lee reposted a false claim — debunked by X's own AI tool, Grok — that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex criticized Trump's mass deportation efforts and "are ready to leave the U.S."

• Harry told the New York Times in December that he has no plans to leave.

Catch up quick: The Department of Homeland Security last week released heavily-redacted documents discussing Harry's visa in connection with a lawsuit filed by the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025.

• In his 2023 memoir "Spare," the prince wrote he experimented with drugs. The Heritage Foundation wanted to review Harry's answers to questions about drug use on his visa application when he and his wife Meghan moved to California in 2020.
• The group argued that Harry either disclosed prior drug use and was granted a visa, or he concealed the drug use and was allowed to stay despite conflicting accounts in his book.

Reality check: The documents released last week don't show Harry's answer. Officers with DHS and Customs and Border Protection say the unredacted records show Harry's visa was granted in compliance with normal rules.

• Agents have discretion to admit applicants who admit to prior drug use.

Flashback: President Trump last year said Harry should not receive special treatment if he lied on his visa application but did not explicitly call for his deportation.

The latest: Trump told the New York Post in February that he did not want Harry to be deported, saying the prince has "enough problems with his wife. She's terrible."

• In 2016, before the couple met, Meghan called Trump "divisive" and "misogynistic."
