After President Donald Trump’s executive action on immigration and refugees, Jennifer Lopez took to social media to stand in solidarity with immigrants around the country with a post she captioned, “We are all immigrants.”
The multifaceted artist added: “Honestly, I feel like we are in a nightmare right now! In a country founded by immigrants how did immigrant become a bad word!!!”
J.Lo, who was a supporter of Hillary Clinton’s during the 2016 presidential election, joins a handful of musicians who have spoken out in protest of Trump’s order banning refugees and citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. — part of which was then blocked by a federal judge in New York.
