Ivanka Trump triggered outrage with her Sunday tweet.
President Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump triggered outrage with her Sunday tweet. The post included a picture of her cuddling her young son and the message, "My (heart emoji)! #SundayMorning." Many were quick to point out that her tweet comes in the midst of controversy over children being reportedly separated from their parents as they cross the US-Mexico border. "This is so unbelievably tone deaf, given that public outrage is growing over young kids being forcibly ripped from the arms of their parents at the border — a barbaric policy that Ivanka Trump is complicit in supporting," wrote one tweeter. Others tweeted, "Ivanka, as a mother, try to imagine what these immigrant mothers must be feeling to know ICE has list their small children, some not yet 2 years old. Do something to help them!!! Use your platform for good for once," and, "How would u feel if u had to be forcibly separated from your kids? That is happening to immigrant mothers. Please tell @realDonaldTrump to rescind this barbaric rule." One simply asked, "Do you think that your love for your son is different than every other Mother?" The Washington Post reports, "In April, more than 50,000 migrants were apprehended or otherwise deemed 'inadmissible,' and administration officials have made clear that children will be separated from parents who enter the country illegally and are detained."
