The Twitterverse crucified B-list movie actress Amber Heard over a short-sighted tweet she posted warning illegal immigrants about an ICE checkpoint. Surprisingly, the harshest criticism came from the left. (TheBlaze)
Heard posted a tweet calling for her neighbors in Hollywood to warn whatever illegal aliens might be in their employ about an Immigration and Customs Enforcement checkpoint.
I do enjoy the unintentional racism and tone deafness of the Hollywood elite. @realamberheard thought she was helping. Adorable. pic.twitter.com/wRaTkm95gw

“Just heard there’s an ICE checkpoint in hollywood, a few blocks from where I live,” she tweeted. “Everyone better give their housekeepers, nanies and landscapers a ride home tonight…”
But while many on the right might object to her attempt to undermine the enforcement of immigration security, she was also criticized from the left for what some saw as a racist characterization of the role of illegal immigrants in the Southern Californian economy.
She later deleted the tweet after prolonged furor from her liberal followers.
