Lynda Carter's Bold Stance: 'This Madness Must Stop' Amid LA Riots

Lynda Carter is standing up for immigrants amid all of the protests happening in Los Angeles and across the country. Seen here on May 19, 2025

Lynda Carter Unleashes Fury on ICE: Wonder Woman Star's Sizzling Social Media Rant Leaves Fans Reeling!

The one and only Lynda Carter, the 73-year-old icon who brought Wonder Woman to life on our screens back in the '70s, has let her hair down (or should we say, her Lasso of Truth?) and fired off a scathing social media rant that's got everyone talking!

As protests and riots continue to rock the City of Angels, Lynda took to Blue Sky (no, not the airline) on Wednesday to share a powerful post about her own family history – and it's a real doozy! The actress revealed that her grandmother was an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, who entered the country as a baby. Talk about coming full circle!

ICE raided Los Angeles last week, pulling people from their jobs to deport when many of those people were American citizens. Seen here in 1977

"I AM LATINA AND PROUD," Lynda proudly proclaimed in her initial post. "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."

And then she really brought the heat: "Immigrants built this country. Apart from people indigenous to the US, we are ALL immigrants. This madness must stop!"

Fans went wild, with one commenter summing it up perfectly: "Wonder Woman has spoken. End of discussion."

But not everyone was thrilled about Lynda's impassioned plea. Some commenters pointed out that her post didn't acknowledge the many people who came to America as slaves – and boy, did that spark a heated debate!

"Juneteenth right around the corner, you should delete this," one disgruntled fan chimed in.

Another commenter weighed in: "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."

Now, about that chaos in LA... It all started last Friday when anti-ICE protesters took to the streets after police raids across the city went down. What began as peaceful demonstrations quickly turned into riots, with downtown businesses getting looted, a major freeway blocked, and even vehicles set ablaze! Los Angeles police have made nearly 400 arrests and detentions since Saturday – most of which were for failing to leave the area at the request of law enforcement.

And let's not forget those more serious charges: assault against police officers, possession of a Molotov cocktail and a gun... Yeah, it's been a wild ride!

But don't worry, folks – Lynda wasn't about to let the negativity get her down! The legendary actress is still flying high after being honored by The Paley Center for Media at their gala just last month. She's celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Wonder Woman television series, which ran from 1975 to 1979.

Lynda also posted a second statement about immigrants building the United States

And if you thought that was it – think again! Lynda reprised her iconic role as Wonder Woman in 2020's Wonder Woman 1984 alongside Gal Gadot as Diana.

So, what's next for this feisty firecracker? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: when Lynda Carter speaks, the world listens!
