Ex-WWE Star and Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura Reacts to Minneapolis ICE Shooting: ‘Proud’ of Protesters
Ventura called the killing of Renee Nicole Good murder and criticized ICE and Trump’s policies while supporting Roosevelt High School students and staff, calling for constitutional adherence.
- On Thursday, Jesse Ventura visited Roosevelt High School to condemn the killing of Renee Nicole Good as murder and called President Donald Trump a `draft-dodging coward` after ICE descended on the campus.
- After an ICE operation on Jan. 7 that saw agents descend on Roosevelt High School, Minneapolis as classes dismissed, video showed a confrontation with tear gas on school property and ICE says the agent shot Good in self-defense.
- Ventura framed his comments around the Constitution, noting his 17 months in Vietnam service contrasted with elite non-servicemen, and he called The Republican Party a domestic enemy after January 6th.
- On Jan. 8, Jesse Ventura told reporters `I am owed a second` and may run for governor again, while applauding students and staff at Roosevelt High School for keeping ICE off campus.
- The incident has prompted nationwide protests and online outrage after the episode triggered comparisons to the George Floyd murder of 2020, deepening a national crisis as Gov. Tim Walz, Minnesota, announced earlier this week he will not seek a third term.
