In one post, Navratilova called ICE “evil thugs.”

Navratilova also shared a message from Monty Python legend John Cleese who questioned whether the World Cup should be held in the United States after the incident.

“Is it a good idea to organize a major event like the Football World Cup in a country where the rule of law no longer exists?” Cleese wrote.

Responding to an X user who said the officer shot Good “out of anger and not fear for his life,” Navratilova replied, “Exactly right.”

Good was killed while driving a vehicle that officers ordered her to get out of, according to the Department of Homeland Security secretary. Kristi Noem. Good, according to Noem, refused and “attempted to run them over and ram them with his vehicle.”

Noem said Good’s actions against ICE agents before the shooting amounted to a “act of domestic terrorism”.

“One of our officers acted quickly and defensively, shooting to protect himself and those around him,” she said.

Democrats were quick to portray it as an example of unjust violence by the Trump administration.

Hillary Clinton posted on X on Thursday that “last night, on the corner where an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, thousands of Minnesotans gathered in the freezing darkness to protest her murder.”

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called on ICE to “get the fuck out of Minneapolis” during a news conference Wednesday, 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.”
