Martina Navratilova calls ICE 'evil thugs' amid dozens of social media posts following Minnesota incident

Since a shooting by an ICE agent in Minnesota killed a woman earlier this week, Martina Navratilova has shared dozens of X posts criticizing him and others in ICE.

Posts the tennis legend has shared include calling Renee Good's death "murder," saying "no one is safe" from ICE, and calling them "sick f---s."

Navratilova also shared a post that said Vice President JD Vance was "lying" about Good's actions before she was killed.

In one post, Navratilova called ICE "evil thugs."

Navratilova also shared a post from Monty Python legend John Cleese that questioned whether the World Cup should be held in the United States following the incident.

"Is it a good idea to hold a major event like the FIFA World Cup in a country where the Rule of Law no longer exists?" Cleese wrote.

Responding to one X user who said the agent shot Good "out of anger, not fear for his life," Navratilova replied, "Exactly right."

Good was killed while operating a vehicle that agents ordered her to exit, according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Good, according to Noem, refused and "attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle."

Noem said Good's actions against ICE officers leading up to the shooting amounted to an "act of domestic terrorism."

"An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot to protect himself and the people around him," she said.

Democrats have rushed to portray it as an example of unjust violence by the Trump administration.

Hillary Clinton posted on X Thursday that "last night, at the corner where an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, thousands of Minnesotans gathered in the frigid dark to protest her killing."

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE to "get the f--- out of Minneapolis" during a Wednesday press conference, a sentiment that was echoed by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who also posted to the Department of Homeland Security, "Get out of our city."

The Minnesota Timberwolves held a moment of silence for Good before their game on Thursday night. During the moment of silence, one fan in attendance yelled, "Go home, ICE." Another yelled, "F--- ICE," and cheers erupted.
