When was Melania Trump's last visit to Arizona?

She made one of her rare solo appearances in Tuscon and Phoenix in 2018 to visit an immigration holding facility. She spent almost five hours with detained migrant children and asked immigration officials questions about the facility's operations.

Melania Trump visited Arizona a week after she got pushback for wearing an army green jacket with the words "I really don’t care, do u?" when leaving Washington, D.C., to visit an immigration detention center in Texas. The outcry about her controversial jacket came when the Trump administration was also rolling out a family-separating "zero-tolerance" policy.

Trump hosted a rally in early June at Dream City Church in Phoenix, which the former first lady did not attend.

What did Melania Trump say in her last RNC speech?
