'ICE Out': Natalie Portman, Olivia Wilde decry federal brutality at Sundance

Natalie Portman and Olivia Wilde cemented their names in the Hollywood celebrities to denounce ICE brutality.

While attending the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend, both protesters were seen wearing ICE Out and Be Good batches.

The stars were displeased with the murder of a 37-year-old nurse by federal officials in Minnesota.

While speaking about her movie, The Gallerist, Natalie stated to Variety Studio presented by Audible that this is “a joyful community celebrating film here and we’re so excited to be showing The Gallerist.”

However, simultaneously, the Black Swan took outlets' attention towards unjust matters, as one cannot “talk about what is happening right now and the brutality of ICE and how it has to stop immediately”.

“There’s a beautiful community that Americans are showing right now. They’re showing up for each other, protecting each other and fighting for their freedom,” referring to the Thor star.

Moreover, Olivia, who was also present at the event to promote her two movies, also stressed the tragic news on Saturday.

Stating, “We’re all here getting to celebrate something really beautiful and hopeful in film storytelling.” 

The 41-year-old marked that the “world is hurting right now, and this country is hurting. And it’s appalling”.

“It’s outrageous. People are being murdered. And, I don’t want to normalise seeing people being murdered on the internet. On film. It’s. It’s hideous,” asserted the American actress and director.

Olivia concluded that she’s there to “support the movement to cast ICE out, to delegitimize this unbelievably criminal organisation, then that’s what we should be doing”.
