Actress Anne-Marie Johnson went incognito on Monday as she donned a cap and sunglasses as she posted a series of anti-ICE signs near her Los Angeles home.
Signs posted by the 65-year-old star slammed immigration enforcement operations implemented under President Donald Trump - baring slogans such as 'F* ICE,' 'Abolish ICE,' 'Resist Fascism' and 'Resist Oligarchy.'
One of the signs the actress posted compared Trump's deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to conditions that led to World War II, reading '1933 Gestapo/ RESIST 2025 ICE.'
Johnson, who played Alycia Barnett on Fox's Melrose Place, was clad in a navy blue hoodie with a matching cap and sunglasses as she put up the signs on Monday, eyewitnesses said.
Johnson - also known for stints on shows including In the Heat of the Night, Girlfriends, and What's Happening Now!! - carried power tools and clippers to help with the task.
Daily Mail has reached out to Johnson's rep for further comment on the story.
The symbolic gesture in Southern California came after a series of shooting deaths in Minnesota at the hands of federal officials against protestors continued to dominate the national discussion.
The actress was pictured speaking Monday with a neighbor about the signage, eyewitnesses said.
Johnson was subsequently pictured in front of her home on Tuesday wearing a more stylish ensemble of a maroon coat over a grey top with blue pants.
Johnson donned a pair of sunglasses as she pulled in her trash cans on the sunny weekday.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem this week said all ICE and DHS officers will be wearing body-worn cameras.
Noem on Monday said on X, 'We will rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country.'
Johnson's statement came as the Department of Homeland Security under Trump was under fire for the names of operations, which critics said sent a discriminatory message.

Among the names assigned to operations include Maine's Operation Catch of the Day; Florida's Operation Dirtbag and Louisiana's Operation Catahoula Crunch/Swamp Sweep.
California Congressman Jimmy Gomez told the AP he felt the idea behind the names were to convey a message that immigrants are 'sub-human.'
Gomez, a Democrat from California, said 'that is why they have those disgusting names.'
Gomez said that authorities 'don't even use that kind of language when they conduct operations across the globe dealing with some of the worst terrorists imaginable.'
Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gill said that Trump continues to keep his pledge to stifle illegal immigration.
'I think all he's doing is letting them know we continue to be serious about that,' Gill said. 'We're serious about keeping the border secure. We're serious about deporting illegal aliens.'
