"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. It's really impossible not to talk about what is happening right now and the brutality of ICE and how it has to stop immediately," the Hollywood star expressed to Variety.
Despite the political climate, Portman also highlighted the good she sees emerging during this challenging time.
"And then we also have the best of the best of humanity for the way people are showing up for each other in community, and Americans coming out to support each other and protect each other and fight against injustice," Portman expressed.
Portman went on to add, "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."

"What's going on in our country right now is absolutely horrific, with what the federal government—Trump's government, [Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem, ICE—what they're doing is really the worst of the worst of humanity," she stated.
