""Really all day yesterday, I was just disgusted from everything that you see on Instagram and in the news," Stewart said on her decision to make a statement, adding that "everyone here [at Unrivaled] is feeling that way, one way or another." "We're so fueled by hate right now instead of love, so I wanted to have a simple message of 'Abolish ICE,' which means having policies to uplift families and communities instead of fueling fear and violence.""
""It's scary. You see it on social media, you see it splitting up families and dissecting communities and kids are being involved. It's the worst in all ways," Stewart said. "And to be married to Marta ... we're working to get her citizenship, and she is a legal permanent resident and all of that. But it seems like it doesn't matter. And I think that that's why these policies need"
Breanna Stewart held up an "Abolish ICE" sign during player introductions at Unrivaled following recent federal immigration enforcement violence in Minneapolis. She said she felt disgusted by images on social media and that attendees shared the same feelings. She said the country is fueled by hate instead of love and advocated policies to uplift families and communities rather than fuel fear and violence. Stewart said ICE activity targeting immigrants hits home because her wife is a Spanish citizen and is pursuing U.S. citizenship despite being a legal permanent resident. She described the policies as frightening, splitting up families and harming children.
