Pro Sports Team Under Fire For Honoring Woman Who ‘Rammed’ ICE Agent With Her Car

The Minnesota Timberwolves held a moment of silence for a woman shot and killed by an ICE agent during an immigration operation in Minneapolis earlier this week, sparking angry outbursts from fans inside the arena.

Renee Good, 37, was killed while behind the wheel of a vehicle that federal agents ordered her to exit, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Good refused to comply and then “attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle,” Noem said.

“Our thoughts are with her family and everyone affected, and our hearts are with our community as we hope for healing and unity during this challenging time,” the arena’s public address announcer said.

The scoreboard displayed an image from a vigil alongside the message, “In memory of Renee Nicole Good.”

As the crowd fell silent, one fan shouted, “Go home, ICE,” followed by another yelling, “F— ICE,” prompting cheers from parts of the arena.

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch addressed the shooting before his team beat the Cleveland Cavaliers.

“As we all know, our community has suffered yet another unspeakable tragedy,” Finch said. “We want to just convey our condolences and heartfelt wishes and prayers and thoughts to the families and loved ones and all of those that are greatly affected by what happened.”

The shooting touched off fresh protests across the Twin Cities amid a recent surge in ICE activity tied to the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

Noem said Good’s actions leading up to the shooting amounted to an “act of domestic terrorism.”

“An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot to protect himself and the people around him,” she said.

Good was a Minneapolis-based immigration activist and member of “ICE Watch,” according to DHS sources. The group seeks to monitor, track, interfere with and oppose federal immigration enforcement operations and operates in multiple sanctuary cities nationwide, DHS sources told Fox.

According to DHS, Good followed ICE agents to two locations before the shooting and blocked a roadway in an attempt to interfere with enforcement operations in the area.
