Ivanka Trump Faces Backlash Posting Surf Photos Amid LA Immigration Riots

News summary

Ivanka Trump has faced widespread criticism for posting photos of herself surfing on World Oceans Day while violent protests erupted in Los Angeles against President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration raids. Many online commentators accused her of being "tone deaf" and "complicit," drawing comparisons to historical figures like Marie Antoinette for appearing indifferent amid national turmoil. The protests, sparked by Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, led to a curfew and deployment of thousands of National Guard troops and Marines, despite opposition from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who called the actions excessive and unlawful. Although Ivanka is not formally part of the administration this term, her close ties to the president and previous involvement in lobbying efforts have placed her in a difficult position, especially as some of her celebrity friends, such as Kim Kardashian, openly criticize the immigration policies. The backlash highlights the tension between Ivanka's public persona and the harsh realities unfolding in Los Angeles, with many urging her to speak out or influence her father. The situation continues to escalate with mass arrests and ongoing protests, while Ivanka's surf posts remain a lightning rod for anger and disappointment.
