Since a shooting by an ICE agent in Minnesota killed a woman earlier this week, Martina Navratilova has shared dozens of X posts criticizing him and others in ICE.
Posts the tennis legend has shared include calling Renee Good’s death “murder,” saying “no one is safe” from ICE and calling them “sick f—s.”
Navratilova also shared a post saying Vice President JD Vance “lied” about Good’s actions before she was killed.

In one post, Navratilova called ICE “evil thugs”.
Navratilova also shared a post from Monty Python legend John Cleese questioning whether the World Cup should be held in the US following the incident.
“Is it a good idea to host a major event like the FIFA World Cup in a country where the rule of law no longer exists?” Cleese wrote.
In response to an X user who said the agent shot Good “out of anger, not fear for his life,” Navratilova responded, “Exactly.”
Good was killed while driving a vehicle that agents ordered her to exit, according to the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Noem of Christ. Good, according to Noem, refused and “attempted to run them over and ram them with his vehicle.”
Noem said Good’s actions toward ICE officers leading up to the shooting amounted to a “act of domestic terrorism.”
“One of our officers acted quickly and defensively, shooting to protect himself and the people around him,” she said.

NBA COACH CALLS ICE AGENT’S SHOOTING OF MINNESOTA AGITATOR ‘MURDER’
Democrats have been quick to portray it as an example of unjustified violence by the Trump administration.
Hillary Clinton wrote on X Thursday that “last night, on the corner where an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, thousands of Minnesotans gathered in the cold darkness to protest her killing.”
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE to “get the f— out of Minneapolis” during a Wednesday news conference, a sentiment echoed by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who also wrote to the Department of Homeland Security, “Get out of our town.”

The Minnesota Timberwolves held a moment of silence for Good before their game Thursday night. During the moment of silence, a fan in attendance yelled, “Go home, ICE.” Another yelled, “F— ICE,” and cheers erupted.
