The Minnesota Lynx's home opener at the Target Center turned into a stage for political expression as fans disrupted a moment of silence with anti-ICE chants. The disruption occurred during a tribute to Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, who were killed during federal immigration operations in January. An arena announcer led the tribute, but the silence was broken by shouts of protest. The incident echoed a similar event at a previous Minnesota Timberwolves game. The Lynx organization has been vocal about the issue, with Coach Cheryl Reeve and former player DiJonai Carrington using social media to express their views. The controversy extended to the NBA, prompting Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr to apologize for his comments against ICE.
