In 2011 , Fonda and Tim Robbins produced '' The Big Fix '' , a documentary that examined the role of BP in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and its effects on the Gulf of Mexico . At a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival , Fonda stated that he had written to President Barack Obama about the spill and attacked him as a " fucking traitor " for allowing " foreign boots on our soil telling our military — in this case the Coast Guard — what they can and could not do , and telling us , the citizens of the United States , what we could or could not do . ' " In June 2018 , Fonda went on Twitter to criticize current President Donald Trump 's administration 's enforcement of U.S. immigration policy by Jeff Sessions , specifically regarding the separation of children from their parents at the Mexican border , writing that " We should rip Barron Trump from the arms of First Lady Melania Trump and put him in a cage with pedophiles . " He also suggested that Americans should seek out names of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in order to protest outside of their homes and the schools of their children . The Secret Service opened an investigation based on a report from the Trump family . Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee , whose daughter , White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders , was also the object of Fonda 's tweets , believes that Fonda 's statement about Barron Trump is a violation of federal criminal law . Fonda had also suggested " Maybe we should take her ( Sanders ) children away ... " It was also reported by '' Politico '' that Fonda " has been railing against the White House for days " . In another now-deleted tweet , Fonda targeted Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen by calling her an uncouth name and calling for Nielsen to be " put her in a cage and poked at by passersby ... " Fonda stated that he deleted his tweet regarding Barron Trump , saying that he " immediately regretted it and sincerely apologize to the family for what I said and any hurt my words have caused . " Popular backlash to Fonda 's tweets resulted in a call for a boycott of Peter Fonda 's newest film , '' Boundaries '' and other Sony projects . Sony Pictures released '' Boundaries '' as planned on June 22 , 2018 . Sony did however completely condemn the comments made by Fonda
