"After an ICE officer in Minneapolis shot Renee Good in the face, killing the legal observer and mother of three, the Minnesota Timberwolves organization called for a moment of silence before its Thursday night contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. After two long seconds of silence, one fan howled, "Go home, ICE!" After a shocked moment, another Timberwolves supporter shouted, "Fuck ICE!" At that point, the Target Center arena exploded in anti-ICE cheers. It sounded as if star player "Ant" Edwards had just gone coast to coast for one of his flying dunks."
"Vice President JD Vance probably thinks all 20,000 people are being paid by George Soros, but the only people getting paid off in Minneapolis are ICE agents, those untrained modern-day slave catchers getting thousands of dollars in signing bonuses whether or not they can do a sit-up."
"It's shameful, really, that in our country we can have law-enforcement officers who commit murder and seemingly get away with it. It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying.... So it's terrible, terribly sad for her family, and for her, and that city, and I'm glad the Timberwolves came out and expressed that sadness."
An ICE officer in Minneapolis shot Renee Good in the face, killing the legal observer and mother of three. The Minnesota Timberwolves called for a moment of silence, which erupted into anti-ICE chants from fans. Critics accused ICE of being paid and unaccountable, and some described agents as modern-day slave catchers receiving large signing bonuses. Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers called the killing "straight-up murder" and said the agency targets brown people. Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr called it shameful that law-enforcement officers commit murder and that government statements contradicted video and witnesses, expressing sorrow for Good and her family.
