Actress Molly Ringwald spoke out against the Trump administration and condemned ICE following the killing of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, according to reports Wednesday.
The iconic 1980s Hollywood star issued her statement in an Instagram video Tuesday, The Hill reported.
“There’s something horrible, horrible going on in our country right now. And we have one of the greatest countries — had one of the greatest countries in the world, and I’ve always been so proud to be an American, but right now, this is a fascist government,” Ringwald said
“It’s not becoming a fascist government, it is a fascist government. And ICE is brutalizing people,” Ringwald said.
Her comments echoed a number of voices, including lawmakers and other public figures, who have called for a change after the brutal killings of American citizens and aggressive tactics used by masked ICE agents.
“I feel like I can’t stay silent, and neither should you," Ringwald said.
