Fans of President Donald Trump’sMAGA movement freaked out at a Hollywood film star on Tuesday after she made a teary-eyed statement about Trump’s immigration forces.
Natalie Portman, who has starred in films like “Garden State” and “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith,” discussed the actions of Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement on the red carpet of the premiere of her new film “The Gallerist” at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah on Saturday. That was the same day immigration agents swarmed and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse in Minneapolis, during a protest against Trump’s immigration regime.
“It’s such a horrible day, it’s been a horrible week. What is happening in our country is just obscene,” Portman said through tears, according to reporting from The Daily Mail.
Trump’s immigration forces have faced growing scrutiny since Pretti’s death, with a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers calling on Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to either resign or be fired. Trump privately fumed at coverage of Noem in the aftermath of Pretti’s killing, telling people inside the White House that she “made the administration look bad.”
Fans of Trump’s MAGA movement shared their reactions to Portman’s comments on social media.
“Where were her tears for Laken Riley?” MAGA radio personality Megyn Kelly told her listeners. “Tell it to Jocelyn Nungaray’s mother as you cry while these guys are trying to deport molesters of children, you f—ing idiot know-nothing.”
“They’re doing their jobs Natalie,” right-wing journalist Tommy Robinson posted on X. “Maybe stick to yours, because those crocodile tears are fooling nobody.”
“Natalie Portman cries about the deportation of criminal illegal migrants,” MAGA commentator David Vance posted on X. “She is a moral void.’
“It’s classic celebrity hypocrisy: virtue-signal against law enforcement protecting our sovereignty, all while enjoying the privileges that strong borders help preserve. Real Americans see through the tears,” the America First Facebook group wrote in a statement.
