Coco Gauff speaks out, doesn’t ‘like what’s going on’ in U.S.
- Coco Gauff spoke to international media during the Olympic Games and said she never felt torn when asked questions because they are relevant and audiences want athlete opinions.
- The deaths of Renee Good, Minnesota resident killed by ICE, and Alex Pretti, Minnesota resident killed by ICE, came before the federal government recently announced a draw down in Minnesota.
- Gauff explained she speaks out because she doesn't agree with all federal government actions and draws strength from her grandmother, longtime activist, urging a return to diversity and equality.

- Historically, Coco Gauff has been a prominent anti-racism voice since George Floyd's death and faces international media scrutiny during the Olympic Games as part of broader athlete activism.
