'The Breakfast Club' star Molly Ringwald slams Trump admin, condemns ICE for 'brutalizing people'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actress Molly Ringwald took to Instagram to criticize the Trump administration and condemn Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following recent fatal shootings in Minneapolis.

The 'Pretty in Pink' star declared that she could no longer remain silent about what she called a growing crisis in the country. In her Wednesday, January 28, post, the 1980s Hollywood star urged viewers to use their voices and take a stand against what she described as brutal treatment by federal authorities.

Molly Ringwald warns Americans who support ICE will be seen as 'collaborationists' 

In a four-minute Instagram video shared with her 1.4 million followers, Ringwald drew a stark historical parallel as she warned that Americans who support federal immigration enforcement could face consequences similar to those who collaborated with the Nazis.

“A lot of people collaborated. And then there were people that did not collaborate and were part of the resistance,” she said. “Eventually, they got their country back. Those people who collaborated were found to be criminals. And that is what's going to happen.”

Ringwald issued a moral call to action, contrasting Americans who protest ICE operations with those who do not. “If you don't care about that, if you only care about yourself, then realize that you are going to be seen as a collaborationist,” she warned. “I don't think that anyone wants to be on the wrong side of history. So, please, please use your voice and protest.”

The 57-year-old said she felt compelled to speak out after the killing of Alex Pretti, 37, who was fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis.

“I feel like I can't stay silent, and neither should you,” Ringwald expressed. “There's something horrible, horrible going on in our country right now.”

Molly Ringwald calls Trump administration a 'fascist government'

Ringwald also slammed the Trump administration, saying in her video, “This is a fascist government. It's not becoming a fascist government; it is a fascist government. And ICE is brutalizing people."

She then called out federal immigration enforcement operations and suggested that agents enforcing them have lost their sense of humanity. “They are monsters,” Ringwald said. “They are human beings as well, but they have forgotten that they’re human beings, and they have become monsters. Please don't let yourself become like that. Please remember your humanity.”

The actress went on to highlight what she described as the human toll of recent enforcement actions. “These are children who are being taken away from their parents. These are mothers who are being killed. These are fathers. These are ICU nurses,” she continued, referring to people affected by immigration operations.

Ringwald closed her message with a moral appeal, urging her audience to speak out and take action. “Please do the right thing and stand up and use your voice,” she concluded.

Mark Ruffalo, Jamie Lee Curtis, and other celebs speak out against ICE

This isn’t the first time a Hollywood star has voiced outrage over federal immigration enforcement. Several high‑profile figures, including Mark Ruffalo, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Martha Stewart, have spoken out against ICE after a viral video showed Pretti helping a woman up from the ground before he was killed.

Ruffalo called Pretti's killing a “cold-blooded murder on an American street.” He added, “Don't pretend this is okay. We have been invaded by a criminal army from within. Do not pretend this isn't dangerous or wrong.”

Curtis shared a video of the Minneapolis shooting on social media and wrote, “There's too much going on that needs to be amplified right now for me to be quiet.”

Stewart echoed similar concerns in a recent social media post, writing, “I am disheartened and sad each and every day that we cannot demonstrate our sympathy for the beleaguered, that we are told immigrants, which most of us are or descended from are unwelcome, that we cannot show our frustration in peaceful demonstrations and that we can be attacked and even killed by Federal troops."
