An incident between ICE agents and a female protester in Minneapolis has sparked a national reaction. A 37 year-old female, Renee Nicole Wood, was killed by an ICE agent and the tragic event was caught on camera. What took place has been highly debated.
Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland weighed in on the incident in a series of social media posts and justified the agent’s actions.
“About time these entitled protesters are being shot. It should have happened sooner,” Strickland wrote on X. “Every single country has immigration law. Every single country enforces immigration law. You wanna go out there and stop lawful enforcement?! You should get shot..”
“Are you liberals really that fucking stupid,” Strickland wrote in a follow-up tweet.
“She was illegally obstructing law enforcement. They had cause to detain her. She fled the police and in the process hit an agent with her car. Intent does not matter. The fact is she used a deadly weapon to flee a lawful detainmeant.
“I would not of shot her but I can’t blame someone in that situation for doing it..”
Strickland, 34, won the UFC 185-pound championship at UFC 293 in September 2023. He was defeated in his first title defense. “Tarzan” last fought in February of last year. He returns to the octagon at UFC Fight Night 267 on Feb. 21 in Houston, Texas against No. 4 ranked Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez.
