Share on Facebook Share on Twitter
President Donald Trump's daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump came out Thursday against the family separations that resulted from her father's zero-tolerance policy for illegal immigration, calling them a "low point" of her White House tenure thus far.
"That was a low point for me as well," she said during an interview with Axios. "I feel very strongly about that, and I am very vehemently against family separation and the separation of parents and children."

And where was she months ago when her Daddy Dearest signed the order to rip babies out of their mother's arms and send them to jail? Crickets, Ivanka, you were mum and like your monstrous father, you couldn't care less about the plight of anyone else's kids, especially the brown ones!

Ivanka ... has been quiet about the administration's zero tolerance immigration policy, which led to the separation of thousands of immigrant children from their parents at the border earlier this year. As media reports about families began to surface after the policy was announced in April, Trump tweeted a photo of her with her son on May 27, drawing outrage from immigration advocates ...
On June 26, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California ordered the more than 2,500 families separated by the administration to be reunified by July 26. On last weeks court-ordered deadline, more than 700 children were still separated from their parents, including around 450 whose parents were deported without them.

... Ivankas sudden concern for family separation comes a surprise, considering the fact that she previously came under fire for tweeting a photo of herself snuggling her young son on May 27, weeks after the zero-tolerance policy went into effect ...
Although President Trump signed an executive order in June, ending the family separation policy his own administration had implemented earlier, the irreparable damage had already been done. More than 2,600 children, some younger than 5, were separated as a result of the administrations zero-tolerance policy. And while the administration managed to meet court-imposed reunification deadlines on a technicality last month reuniting only eligible families hundreds remain separated ...
The Trump administration also deemed hundreds of parents ineligible to see their children again because they had criminal histories or could not be located.
As ThinkProgress previously reported, many of the separated children are still being held in facilities with histories of alleged abuse or mismanagement. Even those returned to their parents have shown up at the airport with signs of neglect, abuse, or emotional trauma. And on Wednesday, immigration lawyers claimed a migrant child had died after being released a detention center in Dilley, Texas ...
