NBA Coaches Slam ICE After Minneapolis Shooting, Video Tells Different Story [WATCH]

Two NBA head coaches publicly criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement this week following the fatal shooting of Renee Good during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, even as federal officials and newly released video footage have detailed the circumstances that led to the use of deadly force.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr spoke to reporters Friday ahead of his team’s game against the Sacramento Kings, using strong language to denounce both law enforcement and the federal government.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Kerr addressed the shooting after the Minnesota Timberwolves held a moment of silence Thursday for the woman who was killed after allegedly driving her vehicle into an ICE agent.

“It’s shameful that in our country, we can have law enforcement officers who commit murder and seemingly get away with it,” Kerr said.

Kerr also accused the government of misleading the public about the incident.

“It’s shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there’s video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying,” Kerr said.

“Very demoralizing. Devastating to lose anyone’s life, especially in that manner. So, it’s terrible. Terribly sad for her family and for her and for that city.”

This Could Be the Most Important Video Gun Owners Watch All Year

Federal authorities have said the shooting occurred after Good used her vehicle as a weapon against an ICE agent during the Minneapolis operation.

Homeland Security officials stated that the woman “weaponized her vehicle” and forced the agent to fire “defensive shots.”

Breitbart News reported that footage released Friday, taken from the ICE agent involved in the encounter, shows Renee Good allegedly aiming her two-ton SUV at the agent and accelerating toward him.

Breitbart News’s John Nolte wrote that the video supports the claim that the agent acted in self-defense.

The shooting took place Wednesday in Minneapolis and remains under investigation, with additional video continuing to circulate and draw national attention.

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers also weighed in on the incident Friday, sharply criticizing the outcome and ICE’s role.

Rivers described the shooting as “straight-up murder,” despite federal officials’ account of the events.

“This lady was probably trying to go home, and she didn’t make it home, and that’s really sad,” Rivers said.

“The whole ICE thing is, it’s a travesty.”

Video evidence of Good ‘just trying to go home’:

Rivers’ comments came even as Breitbart News reported that an ICE agent shot and killed a woman after she allegedly drove her vehicle into him during the Minneapolis operation.

Homeland Security reiterated that the agent fired only after facing an immediate threat.

The woman killed in the shooting was identified as Renee Good.

She was married to Rebecca Brown Good.

Breitbart News reported that Rebecca Brown Good expressed regret following the incident, saying she had urged her wife to come down to the area where vehicles were allegedly blocking and hindering ICE operations.

FOX News reported that BIGSLEEZ UP captured video of Rebecca Brown Good after the shooting in which she said, “I made her come down here. It’s my fault.”

More video evidence broken down by Tim Pool:

The New York Post reported that Renee and Rebecca were raising a boy together in south Minneapolis, describing the area as a mostly working-class, activist-heavy neighborhood with tree-lined streets and numerous homes displaying LGBTQ+ flags or signs depicting George Floyd.

According to the report, the couple sent their son to a charter school that is “unabashedly dedicated to social justice education.”

Rivers’ criticism of ICE did not begin with the Minneapolis shooting.

EssentialySports reported that on October 11, 2025, Rivers criticized ICE arrests in Chicago, saying, “It bothers me, I’m trying…that’s not this country. That’s not what we’re about.”

As the investigation into the Minneapolis shooting continues, the comments from high-profile NBA coaches have added to the national debate over immigration enforcement, law enforcement use of force, and the role of public figures in weighing in on active cases.

Federal officials have maintained that the agent involved acted in self-defense, while critics continue to challenge that account despite the release of video evidence.
