Renowned actor and Monty Python legend, John Cleese, has raised concerns over the United States hosting the World Cup following a deadly incident involving an ICE agent in Minnesota. The episode has drawn significant attention and stirred debate over law enforcement practices in the country.
The incident in question involved Renee Good, who tragically lost her life during an encounter with ICE agents. According to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Good was instructed by agents to exit her vehicle. When she refused, she allegedly attempted to run over the agents with her car.
Despite the official account provided by Noem, Cleese expressed skepticism about this narrative. He publicly questioned the events through his social media, casting doubt on the circumstances surrounding Good’s death.
Cleese further highlighted the incident by sharing a post that depicted ICE agents arresting a woman in Minneapolis, shortly after the fatal shooting of Good. His actions have contributed to a broader conversation about whether the U.S. is an appropriate host for such a prominent international event as the World Cup, given its domestic law enforcement controversies.
Cleese shared a post that showed ICE arresting a woman in Minneapolis in the aftermath of Good’s death.
The actor suggested that FIFA may want to reconsider holding games in the United States.
“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 asked in an X post.
President Donald Trump has threatened to keep games out of American cities he deems unsafe.
Cleese’s post was shared by tennis legend Martina Navratilova among dozens of other anti-ICE posts.
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.
Here’s the latest on the Minneapolis ICE agent shooting:
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 press conference Wednesday, a sentiment 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.
