Trump posted the tweets after Twitter users criticized her for posting a photo of herself with her son on Sunday. Critics used the photo to criticize the Trump administration over its policy to prosecute more families crossing the border illegally, including separating parents from their children while cases are active. The policy dominated headlines over the weekend.

Trump frequently posts photos of her children on social media.

President Trump blamed the Democrats for the policy on Saturday, referring to it as a “horrible law” and accusing them of “protecting” gang members by not supporting his proposed border wall.
