How tall is Barron Trump? Photos show very tall son of Donald, Melania
Barron Trump, born March 20, 2006, was almost as tall as Melania Trump by 2017. Photos in 2018 show the pair walking side by side, almost eye to eye.
Barron Trump has four half-siblings: Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump.
Barron stayed at Trump Tower in Manhattan during freshman year at New York University's Stern School of Business.
Barron Trump lived at the White House from 2017 to 2021. He lived at Mar-a-Lago after his father lost the 2020 election. He lives in Trump Tower in Manhattan.
First year at NYU? It's a wrap for Barron Trump.
After the 19-year-old received his high school diploma in May 2024 from Oxbridge Academy near West Palm Beach, Florida, he broke away from family tradition by attending NYU.
For the most part, the only child of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump navigated his first year at New York University's Stern School of Business away from the public eye − as much as was possible anyway.
It's not every day your father runs for president of the United States, wins and dominates the headlines − good and bad − every day since.
And Barron Trump's famous family, his mother Melania Trump, half-siblings Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump, sister-in-law Lara Trump, niece Kai Madison Trump, and former aunt-by-marriage Vanessa Trump, have each had parts of their private life made public in news stories this year.
Before Barron Trump turned 18 in March 2024, he was largely kept out of the spotlight because of Melania Trump's protective nature. He has shown interest in his father's politics, particularly during the 2024 presidential election, though he did not make many public appearances.
The question of where would he attend college after high school graduation became a media obsession. One that was officially revealed when he stepped on to the campus of NYU just after Labor Day 2024.
On Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, 2025, Donald Trump began his second term in office, four years after leaving 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C. A day later, spring 2025 classes started at New York University, where Barron Trump attends school.
May 6, 2025, marked the end of spring 2025 classes there.
But why NYU?
His father graduated from business school at the University of Pennsylvania, and Barron Trump's half-siblings — Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump (born to Donald Trump and Ivana Trump) and Tiffany Trump (born to Donald Trump and Marla Maples) — each have ties to the University of Pennsylvania or Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
His parents never disclosed why he chose NYU over University of Penn or Georgetown, but the main campus is in Manhattan, where Barron Trump spent much of his childhood — and lived until his father was sworn in as the 45th president in early 2017.

Pentagon deploys 700 Marines, more National Guard to LA amid ICE protests
The Brief The Marines are moving from their base at Twentynine Palms in the California desert on Monday. The troops have been trained in de-escalation, crowd control and standing rules for the use of force, and they will be armed with the weapons they normally carry. The move comes after President Donald Trump over the weekend sent the federal National Guard to LA to deter anti-ICE protests in Southern California. LOS ANGELES - The Pentagon plans to deploy about 700 Marines to Los Angeles in the coming hours to help National Guard members respond to immigration protests, three U.S. officials said Monday. The Marines with 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division will work with the National Guard troops on the ground to protect federal property and personnel, including federal immigration agents, U.S. Northern Command says. The Marines are moving from their base at Twentynine Palms in the California desert on Monday. The troops have been trained in de-escalation, crowd control and standing rules for the use of force, and they will be armed with the weapons they normally carry. Northern Command said the forces will be under Task Force 51, commanded by Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, deputy commander of U.S. Army North. The move comes after President Donald Trump over the weekend sent 2,000 federal National Guard troops to LA to deter anti-ICE protests in Southern California. Gov. Gavin Newsom, in a social media post on Monday evening, said he was told Trump had ordered an additional 2,000 National Guard troops deployed to the region. What they're saying Monday marks the fourth consecutive day of protests in LA, where thousands crowded streets, including the 101 freeway, over the weekend. Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday formally asked Trump to remove the National Guard from LA, calling the deployment "unlawful." In a letter to Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth, the governor said California did not have a problem "until Trump got involved." In San Francisco on Sunday, police said they arrested nearly 150 people during anti-ICE protests. Police said the majority of those arrested were later cited and released. Mayor Daniel Lurie said during a news conference on Monday that his priority is to protect everyone in the city. He decried the "tactics being used across the country to target immigrant communities." The mayor, however, said violence will not be tolerated in San Francisco. "But let me also be clear. We will not tolerate violent and destructive behavior, and we will never tolerate violence directed at law enforcement or city workers," Lurie said. READ: San Francisco police arrest nearly 150 during anti-ICE demonstrations What we know California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Monday announced two new lawsuits against the Trump administration over federal officials impeding the state's sovereignty with the deployment of the National Guard. Bonta said the lawsuit, which names Trump, Defense Secretary Hegseth, and the Department of Defense, outlines why the takeover violates the U.S. Constitution and exceeds the president's Title 10 authority, not only because the takeover occurred without the consent or input of the governor, as federal law requires, but also because it was unwarranted. "Let me be clear: There is no invasion. There is no rebellion," Bonta said. "The president is trying to manufacture chaos and crisis on the ground for his own political ends. Federalizing the California National Guard is an abuse of the President's authority under the law– and not one we take lightly. We're asking a court to put a stop to the unlawful, unprecedented order." Under the California Constitution, Bonta said that Gov. Newsom is the commander-in-chief of the California National Guard. Bonta also filed a second lawsuit against the Trump administration, where he was joined by attorneys general in Illinois, New Jersey and Rhode Island, and in spirit with 20 attorneys general across the United States. This suit involves what Bonta calls Trump "unlawfully imposing immigration enforcement requirements" on billions of dollars in annual U.S. Department of Transportation and U.S. Department of Homeland Security grants. "The president doesn't have the authority to coerce state and local governments into using their resources for immigration enforcement," Bonta said. "This is a blatantly illegal attempt to bully states into enacting Trump's inhumane and illogical immigration agenda. Once again, Trump's actions go beyond the scope of his presidential power." The Associated Press reported that immigration agents were seen Monday morning at a Home Depot store in Huntington Park, along with a library parking lot and City Hall in nearby Whittier. During an unrelated event on Monday, Trump addressed the protests in Southern California. "Thank goodness we sent out some wonderful National Guard," he said. Trump criticized California leaders by saying "they were afraid of doing anything." "We sent out the troops, and they've done a fantastic job." An estimated 1,000 National Guard troops were on the ground in LA by Monday morning, with that number expected to double by the end of the day. The Guard troops are part of the new Task Force 51, under the control of Army Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, who is the deputy commander of U.S. Army North, the AP reported. The Associated Press contributed to this report. The Source The Associated Press, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta, SFPD and previous reporting.

Jacksonville community groups speak out against immigration raids across the nation
People gathered in Jacksonville to stand in solidarity with protestors in Los Angeles calling for an end to immigration raids. It comes as President Donald Trump sends the military to California to crack down on those protests. Dozens of people have been arrested, with law enforcement claiming the protests have turned violent. On the other side of the country, protestors made their voices heard Monday night outside the Duval County Courthouse. 'We are calling for due process,' said Katie Chorbak, with 50501 Veterans. 'That's a guaranteed freedom in the Constitution, and that is not happening. It's being usurped. With ICE raids, a lot of people are being deported to a foreign country without due process. So we need to stop the ICE raids.' >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] Jacksonville community groups also shouted in support of union leader David Huerta. Federal agents arrested Huerta in California last week for interfering with immigration enforcement. He was released from federal custody Monday on a $50,000 bond after a hearing in federal court in Los Angeles. As tensions remain high in Los Angeles, Jamison Collin-Morita with the Jacksonville Immigrant Rights Alliance said she's seen more local families living in fear of similar raids. 'I think that it's really important that when people are scared like this and they feel like they can't come out to these protests, they feel like they can't be visible - so we have to be visible for them,' said Collin-Morita. She added that they will continue to stand with Los Angeles and communities across the country. 'We have a large movement behind us, and we will not rest until these raids are put to an end,' said Collin-Morita. Many protestors said they will be back out on Tuesday protesting a proposed ordinance in city council. That ordinance would block any city money from going to undocumented migrants [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter]

'It doesn't help Hoosiers': People gather outside of Indy airport to protest new travel ban
More than 100 people gathered outside the Indianapolis International Airport terminal on June 9 to protest President Donald Trump's new travel ban, which bars citizens from 12 countries. The ban went into effect on June 9 and bars nationals of Afghanistan, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen from entering the United States. The administration also placed partial restrictions on foreign nationals traveling from seven additional countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. Many of those who spoke at the protest on the green space outdoors near the baggage claim area argued that immigrants who have relocated to Indiana have been a positive addition to the state, adding that this ban punishes them while serving no additional purpose. "This ban does not make us safer," said Maliha Zafar, director of the Indiana Muslim Advocacy Network, speaking at the protest. "It doesn't help Hoosiers. It keeps families apart, reinforces, dangerous message that immigrants, refugees, Muslims, black and brown people do not belong. But we do belong." The event was organized by Exodus Refugee, ACLU of Indiana and the Indiana Muslim Advocacy Network. Dozens of people gathered on the airport's lawn holding "no unjust travel bans" signs, affirming that migrants were welcome in Indiana. "I'm deeply concerned with all of the many actions that have been aimed against immigrants in this country," said one protester Mary Anne Rugger. "If this were happening over a hundred years ago, it would have been my great-grandparents who were being attacked. This country is great because we welcome immigrants." Organizers of the protest said that whether or not these bans ultimately affect immigrants living in Indiana, these types of policies inadvertently create a feeling of fear amongst those who have moved here from other countries. Speakers argued that people ought to be able to live in this country regardless of their legal status without fearing that they may be deported for getting a driving citation or overstaying a visa. "It's been roughly five months since Trump took office and in that time, he's brought about a theater campaign of disappearance, deportations, dehumanization, unlike anything most of us have seen in America," said Cole Varga, CEO of Exodus Refugee. Many of the refugees in Indiana have come here to escape dangerous situations in their home countries, Varga said. But beyond the travel ban, Chris Daley, Executive Director of the ACLU of Indiana, emphasized the need for leaders and Hossiers to move away from anti-immigrant rhetoric and stop vilifying those from other countries. "Every year in our Indiana State House, we see a flurry of bills that try to limit people's ability to own land, to run businesses, to have state contracts simply based on their nation of origin," Daley said. "We have to stand up and say enough, this is not who we are and this is not who we're going to be going forward." Supporters of the travel bans say these policies are not aimed at those who have entered the country legal and will serve to keep U.S. citizens safe. 'President Trump is fulfilling his promise to protect Americans from dangerous foreign actors that want to come to our country and cause us harm,' White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson wrote on X on June 4. Ultimately, organizers believed that this "president's immigration polices are moral catastrophes."
