A petition requesting that U.S. immigration authorities revoke the work authorization or residency status of Trinidadian-born rapper Nicki Minaj has gained attention online. The petition was created on the platform Change.org and calls for her to be deported from the United States, where she resides.

The petition’s emergence followed Minaj’s recent participation in a high-profile political event in the United States. It attracted thousands of signatures on social media soon after it was posted, reflecting a segment of online users’ reaction to her public statements and political involvement.

Change.org petitions are a form of online public expression and do not carry legal force. U.S. immigration status is determined through federal law and administrative processes managed by agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. There is no official mechanism by which an online petition can directly order deportation.

Minaj was born in Trinidad and Tobago and later moved to the United States, where she built her music career and has held legal permission to live and work. There has been no public declaration by immigration authorities indicating any review of her status in response to the petition.

The petition drew mixed reactions online, with some users supporting it and others criticizing the idea of seeking deportation based on political expression. Legal experts note that removal proceedings require formal government action, not online campaigns.
