Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Ivanka Trump Calls Family Separations “Low Point”

HeadlineAug 03, 2018

Trump’s attacks came as his daughter—senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump—said she doesn’t share he father’s view that the press is the “enemy of the American people.” Ivanka Trump was speaking at an event held by the website Axios. During her interview, she also described her father’s policy of separating immigrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border as a “low point” of her time in the White House.

Ivanka Trump: “Yes, that was a low point for me, as well. I feel very strongly about that. And I am very vehemently against family separation and the separation of parents and children. So I would agree with that sentiment. I think immigration is incredibly complex.”
