Minnesota Timberwolves hold moment of silence for woman killed by ICE officer

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/jan/09/timberwolves-renee-good-ice-shooting-moment-of-silence-cavaliers

The Minnesota Timberwolves held a moment of silence before Thursday night’s game to honor Renee Good, a 37-year-old woman who was fatally shot in her car by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, an incident that has shaken Minneapolis and prompted renewed protests across the Twin Cities.

Good was killed Wednesday morning following a brief confrontation with ICE officers on a south Minneapolis street roughly three miles from the Target Center. Federal authorities have said agents were attempting to carry out an enforcement action when the encounter escalated and an officer fired into Good’s vehicle. The shooting came amid a visible increase in ICE activity in the region as part of the Trump administration’s expanded immigration crackdown.

The killing sparked protests throughout the day on Wednesday and into Thursday, with demonstrators gathering outside government buildings and marching through neighborhoods near where the shooting occurred. Community leaders and civil rights groups have called for transparency and accountability, while local officials have sought to calm tensions as investigations proceed.
