America Ferrera 'angered and terrified' by new racial profiling laws. The Superstore actress slammed a recent Supreme Court decision that would permit immigration agents to stop people in Los Angeles based only on their race, language, job or location. America, 41 told The View: ”As an American, I'm angered and terrified to watch our constitutional rights be eroded by the Supreme Court. Everyone should be angered and terrified by it - everyone.” ”If any American can get pulled over because of the language they speak or the colour of their skin or because they work in a low-wage job, who's safe? So, as an American, I'm p**sed off.” She added that, as the daughter of Honduran immigrants, she recalled feeling anxious about racism towards Spanish-speaking families, so she felt deeply for children whose lives may be impacted by the new law. ”What I know right now is there are children that are terrified. There are children that are terrified, there are families that are terrified of their lives being destroyed in a moment.” "I think about them, and I think we all have an opportunity to remember who we are and what we believe and what our values are and what we care about.”
