Overview
- Kerr acknowledged Friday that his earlier claim that ICE was not arresting criminals was wrong and apologized for spreading misinformation.
- During his pregame remarks at Chase Center, he said he knew ICE was arresting some criminals but argued some people are being improperly detained.
- DHS officials countered Kerr’s earlier description of a 5-year-old being taken, saying agents sought the child’s father, who fled and left the boy in a running car, and that the child was secured for safety after family declined custody.
- Operation Metro Surge records released this week detailed arrests that included convicted murderers, sex offenders, and other violent offenders, contradicting Kerr’s initial characterization.
- The Warriors’ Minneapolis trip unfolded during protests after a fatal shooting linked to immigration enforcement, and one game was postponed, which Kerr said shaped the emotional context of his remarks.
