Angelina Jolie spoke out Thursday in a New York Times op-ed in response to president President Trump’s immigration travel ban. The actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian penned an impassioned piece titled, “Refugee Policy Should Be Based on Facts, Not Fear.”

Jolie, who mentions that her six children were “all born in foreign lands and all American citizens,” begins her piece with a reminder of the challenges that refugees face.

“Refugees are men, women, and children caught in the fury of war, or the cross hairs of persecution,” she writes. “Far from being terrorists, they are often the victims of terrorism themselves.”

In January 2015, Jolie wrote a similar piece in the Times, which brought to light the real stories she’s witnessed on her trips to Iraq and the informal camps and settlements for refugees there. “Who can blame them for thinking that we have given up on them?” she asked one year ago, pointing to the lack of aid that these refugees have received in the wake of tragedy.

Jolie writes in her new op-ed that Trump’s executive order is not based on the stories and facts related to these refugees.

“The global refugee crisis and the threat from terrorism make it entirely justifiable that we consider how best to secure our borders,” she reasoned. “Every government must balance the needs of its citizens with its international responsibilities. But our response must be measured and should be based on facts, not fear.”

“Acting out of fear is not our way,” she continues. “Targeting the weakest does not show strength.”

She makes a further call for “[managing] our security without writing off citizens of entire countries—even babies—as unsafe.”

“We have to make common cause with people of all faiths and backgrounds fighting the same threat and seeking the same security,” she finishes. “This is where I would hope any president of our great nation would lead on behalf of all Americans.”
