U.S. Olympic athletes from Minnesota are starting to speak out about the tense political situation back home. This comes after federal authorities shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis last month. Many of these athletes are preparing for the Milan Cortina Games.
Minnesota is dealing with a lot of tension right now. The shootings, along with the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, have caused weeks of strong protests and clashes with federal authorities. This situation has affected daily life in the state, even showing up at sporting events. During a recent Professional Women’s Hockey League game in St. Paul, fans chanted “ICE out now.”
