Wonder Woman’ Lynda Carter Makes Her Feelings About ICE Clear With 1 Crushing Strike

Lynda Carter, who became a cultural icon in the 1970s for playing Wonder Woman, has been very clear about where she stands on immigration and ICE. When some people claimed they were “confused” about a post she shared criticizing ICE, she made sure there was no confusion left at all.

Recently, Carter reshared a post from Senator Elizabeth Warren that included footage from CNN showing aggressive actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The video came as protests against ICE were growing in Minneapolis and across the country. Warren pointed out that taxpayers are paying for these operations and criticized the massive spending bill signed by Donald Trump, which sent billions more dollars to ICE instead of helping Americans afford things like health care.

Warren’s message was blunt. She said that instead of people’s tax money helping their parents get cancer treatment or other medical care, it was being used to scare and harm entire communities.

After Carter reshared the post, some followers claimed they didn’t understand why she did it. Carter responded in a very on-brand way. She posted an image of herself as Wonder Woman from a 1976 episode, showing the superhero delivering a powerful blow to a Nazi officer. Alongside the image, she wrote that this should clear things up. The message was obvious: she opposes cruelty, abuse of power, and authoritarian behavior, just like the character she played.

This wasn’t a one-off moment. In recent weeks, Carter has shared several posts expressing anger and heartbreak over ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shooting Renee Good in Minneapolis while she was sitting in her vehicle. Her posts made it clear that she sees these actions as unacceptable and dangerous.

Carter’s views are deeply personal. Over the years, she has openly talked about her Mexican heritage and honored her grandmother, Martina, who came to the United States from Mexico as a baby. Carter has spoken about how her grandmother raised ten children under extremely difficult conditions, holding her family together with strength, dignity, and resilience. That family history clearly shapes how Carter views immigration today.

She has never hidden her feelings about ICE. During protests earlier this year, after Trump federalized the California National Guard and sent thousands of troops to Los Angeles, Carter posted proudly about her identity. She wrote that she is Latina and proud, and reminded people that she is the direct result of immigration. She described her mother as a strong, beautiful Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Carter emphasized that immigrants built this country and that, aside from Indigenous people, nearly everyone in the United States comes from immigrant roots. She called the current treatment of immigrants madness and said it needs to end.

She also acknowledged that enslaved people played a huge role in building the country and thanked those who continue to make sure that truth is clearly stated. She ended by saying she stands with them, making it clear that her activism includes both immigration justice and racial justice.

Through all of this, Carter has used her platform the same way Wonder Woman used her power: to call out injustice, stand with vulnerable communities, and refuse to stay silent when people are harmed.
