Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA 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.

Two analysts were stunned on Tuesday after a flood of "bloodthirsty" MAGA media personalities called for President Donald Trump to inflict more violence against protesters in Minneapolis following the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti.
Sam Stein, managing editor of The Bulwark, and Will Sommer, the publication's senior reporter, discussed how the MAGA media sphere reacted to Pretti's death during a new episode of "Bulwark Takes" on Tuesday. They highlighted examples from commentators like Megyn Kelly, who claimed she felt no sympathy for Pretti after he was killed, and Greg Kelly, who said immigration officers were right to mistake Pretti's phone for a gun.
"Look, to openly say you don't feel sorry that someone was shot to death, you gotta have a little absence of something in your core to say something like that, but that seems to be a particular strain of reaction on the right," Stein said.
Sommer noted that Kelly's argument that Pretti's death was justified because he was shouting at officers was an "innovation in Constitutional law."
"At that point, if you're shouting, safety's off and they can kill you if they want," he noted.
The MAGA reactions happened at a time when the Trump administration is switching out its immigration leadership. Border czar Tom Homan was deployed to Minneapolis to take over command from Customs and Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, who is reportedly being forced into retirement after a disastrous response to Pretti's death.
