Fiona Apple on the Election, What Scares Her, and Her Anti-ICE Short Film

Photo: Fiona Apple Back in September, Fiona Apple spoke with Vulture about how furious and frustrated she was with the Trump administration’s inhumane immigration policies. Today, we’re exclusively premiering a new animated short film narrated by Apple — in partnership with We Have Rights, Brooklyn Defender Services, and WITNESS — about how anyone can safely and securely document arrests by ICE to hold the agency accountable for its actions.

Yeah, I was surprised how much I learned from the video that I didn’t realize I didn’t already know. I can’t believe this is happening. There’s so many awful things going on in this country. You read about places like Belarus and they’re like, “They teargassed the crowd and arrested people and disappeared people.” But that’s the same shit that’s happening here now. It’s going to hell.The way we’re treating our immigrant friends…We stole this country in the first place. But after that, the only way we’re Americans is the degree to which we’re helping immigrants.

The thing that I just remembered, which gave me chills, is when I had to say: “This is all scary.” And, “Sometimes ICE will not comply.” The fact that they’re really scary dudes. Who are they? They must have failed the fucking psych test to be a police officer and now they’re in charge of kids and women. These are scary guys. But the things that really made me feel good was just the information: Ah, yes, I should not film the faces of my immigrant neighbor.
