Jim Carrey often uses personal illustrations to chime in on Trump administration politics. On Thursday, the actor and comedian shared a new drawing, this time targeting the "zero tolerance" immigration policy touted by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Carrey's illustration shows Sessions dressed in red, white, and blue and standing before a fence while holding a blanket and baby bottle. Behind Sessions is a room full of children — a reference to immigrant children who've been held in facilities after crossing the United States border.

"Welcome to ICE's repurposed Walmart!," the drawing reads. "Truth, decency, humanity and American honor sold at bargain basement prices. All must go!"

Carrey posted the image to Twitter with the caption: "'Give us your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...and we will lock their children in cages with tin-foil blankets. And scar them for life! You know: The American Dream!'"

The drawing appears to reference the children who've been living in a Southwest Key Programs facility in Brownsville, Texas that once housed a Walmart, according to the Associated Press and the Brownsville Herald. Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon made headlines Monday when he said he'd attempted to enter the facility, but was turned away.
