"Really all day yesterday, I was kind of just disgusted, I wanted to kind of have a simple message of abolish ICE, which means to uplift families and communities-having policies to uplift family and communities instead of fueling fear and violence. When human lives are at stake, it's bigger than anything else."
"Man, I just love Minnesota, All the love and support that they show me, so I'm behind whatever they with. I don't really have social media so I'm not really in tune with everything, but I've heard about the stuff that's going on, so me and my family are definitely praying for everybody."
"Alex Pretti was murdered,"
Breanna Stewart held up a sign reading "Abolish ICE" during player introductions at an Unrivaled game the day after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Stewart expressed disgust and framed the message as a call to uplift families and communities with policies that do not fuel fear and violence. Stewart's wife is a Spanish citizen. Tyrese Haliburton called Pretti's death murder. A pregame moment of silence was punctuated by fans yelling anti-ICE slogans. Anthony Edwards offered a noncommittal statement citing limited social media use while expressing support for Minnesota. Steve Kerr voiced concern about national division.
