The game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Golden State Warriors, which was supposed to take place on Saturday, January 24, has been postponed by the NBA after a new incident this morning that ended with the shooting and killing of a man by ICE officers.
One of the most talked about cases in the United States of America this month was the shooting of Renee Good by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer.
