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.
