Natalie Portman said at the Sundance Film Festival that actions by the Trump government, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) represent 'the worst of the worst of humanity'. The actor also praised what she described as a compassionate response from everyday Americans.
Portman's remarks, made during press appearances for The Gallerist, have drawn sharp reactions from political commentators, Hollywood peers, and communities affected by recent federal enforcement actions. Her comments came amid heightened tensions following the fatal shootings of civilians by federal agents in Minnesota, and a wider national debate about enforcement tactics and civil liberties.
