SAN FRANCISCO – Martha Stewart says she's typically "an extremely optimistic person," but she's "feeling a little bit down" right now.
"I'm not happy with what's going on with immigration," the entrepreneur and TV host, 84, tells USA TODAY. "We got a notice in my town of Bedford, NY, that ICE was in the schools. That's extremely depressing. And this is a beautiful suburban town, an hour from New York City. It's crazy. 'Big brother' watching is not an easy way to live."
The Daily Voice reported that in a message to families, the Bedford Central School District confirmed ICE officers were in the area.
“ICE was in Mount Kisco this morning looking for a specific individual,” Superintendent Rob Glass wrote, according to the Daily Voice. "We want to reassure you that we have clear, specific protocols in place for addressing any potential interactions with ICE agents."
As for Stewart, she recently spoke out about the federal government's handling of immigration after the urging from her 14-year-old granddaughter Jude.
