XIANGYANG, China (AP) — With two young children, Deng Guilian hadn't planned on going back to work. That changed after her husband was arrested while investigating labor abuses at Chinese suppliers for Ivanka Trump's brand.

. . .

Ivanka Trump has sought to bring an aura of female empowerment to her lifestyle brand and spoken out for women's rights from her post at the White House. But her legacy has been less than empowering for at least one woman in China.

. . .

In May, Deng's husband, Hua Haifeng, and two of his colleagues were accused of illegally using secret recording devices and thrown in jail while investigating factories that made shoes for Ivanka Trump's brand. The group they were working for, a New York non-profit called China Labor Watch, obtained evidence of forced overtime and pay as low as $1 an hour, as well as a video of a manager berating a worker for apparently arranging shoes in the wrong order.
 
"If I see them f---ing messed up again," the manager yells, "I'll beat you right here." Another worker was left with blood dripping from his head after a manager hit him with the sharp end of a high heeled shoe, according to three eyewitnesses who spoke to the AP.

1. Illegal immigrant married to an illegal president

2. Umm... his daughter Ivanka, from his previous marriage

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Ivana is from (then-) Czechoslavakia and was not a U.S citizen or "resident" either

until almost a decade after marrying Drumpf. She is not much different from Melania when it comes to "citizenship". Ivanka, Jr, and Eric ARE "anchor babies".

4. I want to see Melania's work papers

from when she "modeled." It should be easy to prove if she got a work visa, she should prove it. If she didn't get work papers that means she lied to customs and immigration and would not be eligible for citizenship.
She better be nice to Donald or he will sic ICE on her and deport her.

5. Well, this affair will

all be solved, since tRump is going to "bring jobs back to the US" So Ivanka's goods (rip offs) will be manufactured in THIS country, to MAGA. Then his poorly made suits, ties and shirts will be made here. Everyone will have a job. As it stands now, his sons have to recruit foreign workers to come here to work in their wine company. Seems they can not find US workers who want to work long hours for little pay.

6. Don't forget

Donald needs to import workers for Mar-el-Loco since Floridians don't have that quaint European accent.

7. This is a tragedy for those young children, the family and the workers.

Ivanka has the money and a platform to do something about this but she hasn't.
