Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is not Muslim, but if President Trump continues his attacks against immigrants in the U.S. she’s prepared to register as one.

“I was raised Catholic, became Episcopalian & found out later my family was Jewish. I stand ready to register as Muslim in #solidarity,” Albright tweeted The Hill reports.

“If you force Muslims to register, we will all register as Muslims,” Steinem said during a speech at the Women’s March on Washington, Saturday, The Hill reports.

Albright’s tweets come amid reports that Trump plans to include “a temporary ban on most refugees and suspending visas for foreign nationals from seven countries.”

On Wednesday, The Associated Press reported that Trump plans to suspend visas to citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries for 30 days and will stop accepting Syrian refugees.
