Veteran Marine sniper and Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer laid down a challenge on Thursday for actor Peter Fonda following the latter’s now-deleted Twitter rant attacking those he had deemed responsible for the separation of parents and children who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.

In a series of tweets, Fonda had lashed out at ICE agents, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, but it was a tweet calling for the kidnapping and caging of Barron Trump that raised eyebrows and eventually got the Secret Service involved.

Trump Jr., who had also called out Sony Pictures Classics over Fonda’s upcoming film, tweeted his appreciation to Meyer.

Fonda eventually apologized for his comments, which were deleted, saying that they were a product of his emotional response to what was going on at the border.
