A moment of silence held for Renee Nicole Good during a Minnesota Timberwolves game was briefly disrupted when a fan shouted a political message from the stands.Good, 37, was shot and killed earlier this week by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis. Following the incident, President Donald Trump said the agent acted in self-defense, while tributes for Good—a mother of three—poured in from across the country. Ahead of the Timberwolves’ matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers at Target Center, a message calling for healing and unity was played to the crowd.
Fans were then asked to observe a moment of silence as players from both teams stood at midcourt.Just seconds into the silence, a man in the crowd shouted, “Go home ICE!” The interruption quickly drew a reaction from other spectators, with some cheering and applauding, signaling support for the chant and opposition to the federal presence in the city.
