Jane Fonda appeared with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert <\/i> to address the impacts of President Donald Trump’s policies. She expressed a concern about authoritarianism, about the government’s not meeting the people’s needs, the erosion of First Amendment rights, etc. Fonda claimed that people were being kidnapped and citizens were being deported. Arguing that we are the land of the brave and that many loved ones fought and died for this country, Fonda said that these rights can’t be taken away.<\/p>\n

“If the government is not meeting the needs of its people, there’s something wrong, right? We’re seeing things happen that have never happened before. This isn’t like it was in the 40s and 50s. Authoritarianism has made its way into every single nook and cranny of our government,” she said.<\/p>\n

“They are kidnapping people. They are legally deporting American citizens.”<\/p>\n

The veteran actor also referenced the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this month after her vehicle blocked a street during an active ICE operation. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has claimed that officers were forced to open fire because Good had “engaged in domestic terrorism.” The incident has led to widespread protests across the country.<\/p>\n

“Minneapolis, where they shot Ms. Good–they are shooting people. They are blinding people,” Fonda continued. “All kinds of really, really bad things are happening. And it’s not a question of right or left. I don’t care what party you belong to. It’s a question of right or wrong. Right?<\/p>\n

“I think lines are being crossed. And it’s enough. We’ve had enough. Right? We are the land of the brave. Our loved ones fought and many died for these freedoms. We can’t allow them to be taken away from us, because if we let them go, they won’t be there later when we need them back.”<\/p>\n

She explained that people need to band together “in solidarity” to protect their rights, adding that “we have to not be alone.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
