A new picture of Ivanka holding her son has thrown the net into a cauldron of anger about Trump’s new “policy” (it’s not even written in policy, it is now just a practice) to “deter” illegal border crossings by separating parents and children, some as young as 18 months.
As noted by Rawstory:
The government places such children in foster homes, but Steven Wagner, a senior official in the Department of Health and Human Services told a Congressional committee last month the government was “unable to determine with certainty the whereabouts of 1,475” minors after attempting to contact their sponsors in the last three months of 2017.
“Isn’t it the just the best to snuggle your little one — knowing exactly where they are, safe in your arms? It’s the best. The BEST. Right, Ivanka? Right?” tweeted comedian Patton Oswalt.
If you would like to protest the policy, the hashtag #WhereAreTheChildren has taken hold strongly.
