Ivanka Trump Faces Backlash For Praising Father’s Executive Order

After days of relentless criticism from both sides of the aisle regarding his “zero-tolerance” immigration policy, which has led to the separation of more than 2,300 children from their parents at the southern border of the U.S., President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order which halts the practice. (Children will still be detained, however, they will now be held with their families.
Immediately after the order was signed, Ivanka Trump tweeted for the first time since June 15 in praise of her father. “Thank you @POTUS for taking critical action ending family separation at our border,” she wrote. Like her dad, she then called upon Congress to find a larger, long-term solution.
