- Oscar nominee America Ferrera said on* The View* that she's "pissed off" by a new Supreme Court decision.

- "What I know right now is there are children that are terrified," the *Ugly Betty* star said.

- Ferrera also praised Justice Sonia Sotomayor's dissent: "Thank God for Justice Sotomayor."

Oscar-nominated actress America Ferrera gave an impassioned reaction to a recent Supreme Court decision on immigration stops, which Justice Sonia Sotomayor speculated in her dissent could lead to the targeting of "anyone who looks Latino."

The 41-year-old *Lost Bus* star sat for an interview Thursday on* The View*, where she began by answering a question from panelist Sara Haines about Sotomayor's thoughts on the ruling as previously expressed in both her dissent and an appearance earlier this week on the talk show.

"You've been such a powerful voice for the Latino community," Haines told Ferrera, later asking, "I know this hits close to home, so what's your reaction?"

Without hesitation, Ferrera began her response by saying, "First of all, thank God for Justice Sotomayor."

She expressed further gratitude for "people who still speak with a voice of reason and the values we recognize as American values" amid the controversial decision.

"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," the *Barbie* and *Ugly Betty* performer said. "If any American can get pulled over because of the language they speak or the color of their skin or because they work in a low-wage job, who's safe? So, as an American, I'm pissed off."

Ferrera then related the current climate to feelings she felt "as a daughter of immigrants who grew up in California," with both her parents moving to the United States from Honduras.

The actress said that she and her family often found themselves "at the center of conversations about immigration — nothing close to what we're living in now. I remember what it felt like to be a child in elementary school, going to school hearing whisperings and not know what it meant."

She added, "What I know right now is there are children that are terrified. There are children 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, and to recognize that there are people suffering, and that we all have the capacity to be human, reach out, and care for each other."**

Earlier this week, legal expert Sunny Hostin questioned Justice Sotomayor about her numerous dissents to court decisions in recent months, specifically the "court's recent ruling [that] would allow agents, ICE agents, to detain people just for looking Latino or for speaking Spanish," and cited that it could be "dangerous to our freedoms" as Americans.

"Read the decisions, and not just my dissents, but the other side, too. Become informed citizens and not just reactive, because people will say things that are simply not there, or say things and misconstrue them," Sotomayor advised the public. "The price we pay is whatever is happening today, as I indicated, is going to affect a lot of people, but it affects your future and it affects the conduct of leaders in the future, because what we permit today is not going to be duplicated exactly tomorrow, it's going to be something different."

Days into its season 29 premiere, *The View* has already weathered a wave of headlines related to current affairs and politics — from a passage in Kamala Harris' new book alleging that some Democrats mounted a smear campaign against her during the 2024 election cycle, to reacting to Wednesday's assassination of conservative TV personality and commentator Charlie Kirk.

"All the things we've seen — the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the aggressiveness when they went after Paul Pelosi, the couple in Minnesota — this is not the way we do it," EGOT-winning *Ghost* actress Whoopi Goldberg said of Kirk's death at the start of Thursday's episode. "We say this every time, but, somehow, it's not resonating, and I hope that young Republicans never forget that they have a voice."

*The View* airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on ABC. *The Lost Bus* is in select theaters on Sept. 19, ahead of its Oct. 3 streaming debut on Apple TV+.**
