Patricia Arquette says US isn't 'safe for tourists' and calls to cancel the Olympics

Oscar-winning actress Patricia Arquette has issued a warning to tourists worldwide, declaring that the United States is no longer a safe space for them and calling for the 2028 Olympics, planned for Los Angeles, to be cancelled.

She has posted multiple messages on social media condemning these operations as reports continue surfacing of individuals being apprehended from medical appointments, job sites, and public spaces, particularly when involving people who have taken measures to maintain legal status, haven't broken laws, or have performed courageous deeds. She recently posted to her Instagram story about an individual currently held in an ICE facility with no criminal history who rescued a nine-year-old child from a shark attack, along with content about arrests occurring at asylum proceedings for those attempting to remain in the U.S. through legal channels. She also highlighted stories denouncing efforts to remove legal representation from immigrant minors, a news piece stating over 97,000 individuals have been detained during the administration's early months, and describing the new "Alligator Alcatraz" facility in Florida as a concentration camp.
