Celebrities raise their voice against ICE amid Minneapolis shooting

Olivia Wilde publicly condemned ICE at the Sundance Film Festival amid the Minneapolis shooting. She attended the event to promote her comedy film, The Invite. Wilde directed and starred in the project, alongside Seth Rogen and Edward Norton.

During her red carpet appearance, she wore a prominent “ICE OUT” pin as a sign of visible protest against ICE’s actions. She expressed strong condemnation of the recent fatal shooting of Alex Pretti and told Variety:

“We’re all here getting to celebrate something really beautiful and hopeful in film storytelling. But the world is hurting right now, and this country is hurting. And it’s appalling.”

The 41-year-old actress stated that she was “appalled and sickened” by people being murdered by federal agents in Minneapolis. She added:

“We can’t go another day just sort of accepting this as our new norm. It’s outrageous. People are being murdered. And, I don’t want to normalize seeing people being murdered on the internet. On film. It’s. It’s hideous. And so if we can do anything out here to support the movement to cast ICE out, to delegitimize this unbelievably criminal organization, then that’s what we should be doing.”

Additionally, Natalie Portman also expressed her views on ICE’s recent actions in Minneapolis. The No Strings Attached actress was at the Sundance Film Festival to promote her film, The Gallerist. She wore “ICE Out” and “Be Good” pins as a symbol of protest, and told Variety:

“This is such a joyful community celebrating film here and we're so excited to be showing 'The Gallerist' here, but we're also at a moment in our country's history that is quite devastating.”

She called the actions “the brutality of ICE” that has to stop immediately, and added:

“But also 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. It's a bittersweet moment to celebrate something we're so proud of on the backdrop of our nation in pain.”

Among other celebs are Jamie Lee Curtis and Pedro Pascal, who condemned the recent ICE-related killings.

Curtis shared artwork and tributes related to the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good on her Instagram, along with the caption, which read:

“These were Americans! Shot by our government!”

Pedro Pascal used his Instagram stories to amplify criticism of ICE and the official narrative around Pretti’s shooting. He shared multiple reposts, including one from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani calling ICE an agency that “terrorizes our cities” and advocating for its abolition.
