Overview
- Before Bucks–Celtics on Feb. 1, Rivers told OutKick he still views Renee Good’s death as “straight-up murder” in both legal and moral terms.
- He reiterated that ICE training is “horrible” and questioned why operations were concentrated in Minnesota.
- Rivers said people who are “brown” should be worried about ICE and cited Tom Homan as endorsing targeting by color, a claim not supported by Homan’s published remarks.
- He suggested NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon “could have been taken off the streets” under current practices and tied his comments to NBA Pioneers Day reflections.
- Rivers’ stance contrasts with Steve Kerr’s recent apology for spreading “misinformation,” as DHS continues to assert that Good “weaponized her vehicle” during targeted operations.
