Ivanka Trump's deafening silence on child separations

First daughter and Special Assistant to the President, Ivanka Trump has women's and children's issues as part of her work portfolio.   Yet, she has said nothing publicly about the forcible, horrific separation of parents and children in our border detention centers.

First Lady Melania Trump, former First Ladies Laura Bush and Michelle Obama, and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have all called the policy inhumane, immoral, or cruel.

How can Ivanka Trump remain silent?    A mother with small children herself, who posts adorable pics of herself with her children on social media.   I'd like to think she's trying behind the scenes to change her father's actions.   But this is really another example against nepotism -- she should resign in protest, if she can't influence him on this.    But the father-daughter relationship makes that extra difficult.
