Almost every day there are new (terrible) headlines about ICE, the US immigration agency. President Donald Trump has upgraded them to a shock force that is supposed to take tough action against illegal immigration. There have now been two fatal shootings in Minnesota and numerous injuries in recent weeks.
While political discussions are taking place in America with all the strings and the Democrats in particular are demanding an end to the violence (Jacob Frey, the mayor of Minneapolis, called on the troops to “fuck off” from the city), many celebrities are also resisting the tough methods of the ICE.
“The Last Of Us” star Pedro Pascal called for a strike after the deaths of Renée Good and now Alex Pretti and called ICE and the US government liars.
Oscar winner Natalie Portman said in a conversation with Variety: “We’re at a moment in our country’s history that’s pretty devastating. It’s really impossible not to talk about what’s happening right now.”
ICE – a criminal organization?
Hollywood colleague Edward Norton even went so far as to place the ICE methods in a historical context. At the Sundance Festival he said: “Today the question is: ‘What do we do about the mass shootings of American citizens by the Gestapo?'”
“The Housemaid” actress asks herself why political control is not possible Amanda Seyfried. She wrote on Instagram: “Where the hell is our Supreme Court?” Actress and director Olivia Wilde (“Don’t Worry Darling”) immediately spoke out at the Sundance Festival in favor of banning ICE, which she called a “criminal organization.” “This country is suffering,” said Wilde.
For Marvel actress Florence Pugh There is also no question as to how the fatal shootings by ICE in Minneapolis should be classified. “There is clear video evidence of this murder. It is murder. He was murdered,” she wrote on Instagram. Also Mark Ruffaloan avowed opponent of Trump, called on Instagram over the weekend for a quick end to the immigration authorities’ harsh measures and shared videos that suggested that the US government was covering up facts.
