WNBA star Breanna Stewart calls to 'abolish ICE' before Unrivaled game

Minnesota Senate candidate Michele Tafoya discusses the growing unrest in Minnesota after a deadly Border Patrol-involved shooting on ‘The Sunday Briefing.’

New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart made her feelings known about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Sunday before her game in the Unrivaled basketball organization.

Stewart, who plays for the Mist, held up a sign that read "Abolish ICE" as she took the court for her game against the Vinyl. The statement came after another weekend of unrest in Minneapolis following a Border Patrol-involved shooting that left one man dead.

It was the second incident involving residents in Minneapolis and federal officers this month.

The victim in Saturday’s shooting was identified as Alex J. Pretti. He was shot and killed after he allegedly confronted officers during a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operation in the southern part of the city.

The shooting death came a few weeks after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed Renee Nicole Good. DHS said Good was shot in self-defense after she used her SUV in a way that posed a threat. DHS said video showed Good interfering with ICE officers by parking her vehicle in the roadway in an apparent attempt to block federal vehicles.
