Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter laid into ICE and stood up for immigrants in a shock social media rant amid the explosive LA riots.
The iconic actress, 73, took to Blue Sky on Wednesday to reveal that her grandmother was an undocumented immigrant from Mexico and proclaim 'this madness must stop' as protests and riots continue to engulf the City of Angels.
ICE raided Los Angeles last week, pulling people from their jobs and detaining them for deportation - many of whom are American citizens.
'Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD,' her post began.
'I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby.
'My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.'
In another post she reiterated, 'Immigrants built this country. Apart from people indigenous to the US, we are ALL immigrants. This madness must stop.'
Her fans agreed with her, with one aptly summing it up: 'Wonder Woman has spoken. End of discussion.'
Many of the other commenters brought up the fact that her post didn't acknowledge the many people who came to the United States as slaves.
'Juneteenth right around the corner, you should delete this,' one person commented.
Another commenter expressed, 'Not descendants of slaves or transported criminals. Aside from those exceptions, unless I'm missing something, the rest of us are colonists reaping the rewards of violence done on our behalf.'
The chaos in Los Angeles began last Friday when anti-ICE protesters seized on a handful of police raids across the city.
Peaceful demonstrations quickly turned into riots that saw downtown businesses looted, a major freeway blocked and vehicles set ablaze.
Los Angeles police have made nearly 400 arrests and detentions since Saturday, the vast majority of which were for failing to leave the area at the request of law enforcement, according to the police department.

There have been a handful of more serious charges, including for assault against police officers and for possession of a Molotov cocktail and a gun.
Nine police officers have been hurt, mostly with minor injures. Some were transported to a hospital and released.
The LA protests have prompted demonstrators across the country to take to the streets, with anti-ICE protests popping up in more than a dozen major cities.
Last month, Lynda was honored by The Paley Center for Media at the gala.
She is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Wonder Woman television series, which ran from 1975 to 1979.
She also returned to the franchise in 2020's Wonder Woman 1984 with Gal Gadot as Diana.
She first appeared on screens as Wonder Woman almost five decades ago.
Lynda was crowned Miss USA in 1972 but had just $25 in the bank when she landed the part of Wonder Woman in 1975. She continued in the TV role until 1979.
