Doc Rivers Repeats 'Murder' Charge Over Minnesota ICE Deaths Before Bucks–Celtics Game

His remarks drew a challenge from an OutKick reporter, reviving disputes over what former ICE chief Tom Homan has said.

Overview

  • Rivers said he meant “murder” in both the legal and moral sense and that he stands by the characterization without qualification.
  • He criticized ICE training as “horrible” and questioned whether current enforcement practices are making the country safer.
  • Rivers said people who are brown should be concerned about ICE and suggested NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon could have been taken off the streets.
  • He attributed a claim about targeting by color and language to Tom Homan, while OutKick noted Homan has stated that physical appearance cannot be the sole basis for reasonable suspicion.
  • The comments reference two recent Minnesota deaths involving ICE, including Renee Good, and follow a separate apology from Warriors coach Steve Kerr for earlier misinformation.
