Twitter users slammed Ivanka Trump on Sunday after she posted a picture holding her son in the midst of new reports detailing how authorities lost track of nearly 1,500 immigrant children in custody.

Many of the social network’s users pointed out that her father’s administration recently floated the possibility of housing children who illegally crossed the border without an adult guardian, or who will be separated from their immigrant families, on military bases.

Here are some responses from the first daughter’s critics:
Too bad all mothers in America can’t enjoy the same.

@IvankaTrump and what would you do if you were separated from your children? Would be rather painful, don’t you think … and nobody would care??? Especially your father … SAD

It’s disgusting how you flaunt getting to hold your child on #SundayMorning, but that 1475 mothers & fathers don’t know where their own children are.
How dare you try to play innocent when you’re complicit in your father’s crimes.
I can’t wait to see you & your family in cuffs.— Stephanie ??☘?? (@SereneStephie) May 28, 2018
An actual mother would have compassion for the children harmed by your father’s policies.
Your contrived photo ops are absurd.

Imagine being the mother of a child born in a country your father would describe as a “shithole”. Would you also try to leave to try to give your child a better future?

Are you kidding me? Your cognitive dissonance is a slap on the face of everyone in this country. How dare you post this picture when kids are being forced away from their parents with your father’s approval? You are an awful, awful person.

Glad you know where your kids are. Now what about the 1,500 moms whose kids were taken at the border … and now are lost? What about those children, ivanka?

Imagine your baby being ripped from your arms and taken away from you. That is exactly what your daddy is doing to parents and children at the border!

I wish you would just have the courage to tell us what you really think about the #MissingChildren No mother could possibly think what they’re doing is OK. Could you?
