A professional women's basketball player said the time is right to display her "simple message" to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement.Breanna Stewart is a 30-year-old WNBA player for the New York Liberty, but she was playing in a different women's basketball league when she made her political statement on Sunday afternoon.'Knowing that everyone here is feeling that way, one way or another.'Before the game between the Unrivaled basketball league's Vinyl and Mist, Stewart stood holding a sign that read, "Abolish ICE," as players were being introduced. Stewart is a co-founder of the league, which plays in a mega-complex in Medley, Florida.After the game, Stewart told reporters that "all day" Saturday, she had a problem with what she was seeing online."Really, all day yesterday, I was kind of just disgusted from everything that you see on Instagram and in the news," Stewart said during a press conference. "We're so fueled by hate right now, and instead of love, so I wanted to kind of have a simple message of 'abolish ICE,' which means ... having policies to uplift families and communities instead of fueling fear and violence."RELATED: Surprise? WNBA has highest share of Democrat voters, more than any other major US sports league "I think that, you know, when human lives are stake, it's bigger than anything else," the three-time WNBA champion went on.Stewart then called ICE enforcement and riots in Minnesota a "crisis" as she encouraged Americans to advocate for policy change."To have that simple message before the game was important to me, and knowing that everyone here is feeling that way, one way or another, and it was just a perfect time," she added.

"She is a legal permanent resident and all of that," Stewart explained."But it seems like it doesn't matter. And I think that that's why these policies need to be put in place, that reform needs to happen, because it doesn't seem to be affecting the right people. It's not helping anybody."Like Blaze News?

Attorney General Pam Bondi demanded that Minnesota leaders share detailed records on the state’s federally funded welfare programs, repeal its sanctuary policies, and grant access to voter rolls. The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party responded with a sharp, dismissive rejection. On Saturday, Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (DFL) describing how the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce immigration laws have been hindered by local leaders. She noted that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and agents are facing a 1,300% increase in violence, including a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks.'Donald Trump and Pam Bondi are demanding access to Minnesotans’ voter rolls in exchange for relieving us from the federal siege we are under.'“The lawlessness in the streets is matched by the unprecedented financial fraud occurring on your watch,” Bondi told Walz. “And the out of control fraud in your state also implicates election security.”Bondi made three requests.First she demanded that Walz provide the federal government with all of the state’s records on Medicaid and Food and Nutrition Service programs to allow for an investigation.She pressed Walz to repeal Minnesota’s sanctuary policies, blaming them for an increase in crime and violence by preventing the state’s detention facilities from cooperating with ICE. “I urge you to reach an agreement with ICE that allows them to remove illegal aliens in custody of Minnesota’s prisons and jails and avoids pushing these interactions into your streets,” Bondi wrote.RELATED: Rioter bit off part of federal agent's finger amid Minneapolis 'rampant assault,' DHS says Photographer: Jack Califano/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesLastly she demanded that Walz allow the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division to access the state’s voter rolls to confirm they comply with federal law. “Do not obstruct federal immigration enforcement; do not allow rioters to take over the streets and houses of worship; do not hinder federal officials from investigating financial fraud and violations of election laws,” Bondi stated. “Whether state and local politicians stand in the way or not, we will work every day to protect Americans and make Minnesota Safe Again. I request that you join us in that effort.”The DFL Party issued a statement on Sunday responding to Bondi, accusing the attorney general and President Donald Trump of attempting to “extort our state voter rolls.” “Donald Trump and Pam Bondi are demanding access to Minnesotans’ voter rolls in exchange for relieving us from the federal siege we are under,” DFL Party Chair Richard Carlbom said.“Let us be direct: F**k off,” Carlbom remarked.RELATED: Democrats threaten to shut down government over ICE funding: 'We are not powerless' Ken Martin. Photo by Scott Olson/Getty ImagesIn a separate statement, the DFL Party accused Trump and Bondi of trying to “threaten and intimidate us with violence,” following a deadly shooting involving federal immigration agents and Illinois native Alex Pretti, 37.The DFL Party shared a statement from Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin.“Last night, following the heinous murder of U.S. citizen Alex Pretti at the hands of a federal immigration agent, Pam Bondi drafted and sent a threatening letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz attempting to extort the state into handing over its voter rolls as part of an ongoing campaign to undermine local elections and build a national database for Trump’s political revenge and retribution,” Martin stated.He vowed that the DNC would “stand with local elected officials and fight like hell, including in the courts.”“For Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, and Greg Bovino, we have one message for you: Get ICE the hell out of Minnesota. Now,” Martin concluded.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

The enforcement of immigration law is ruining the Democratic Party's "plan," according to a former Minnesota Vikings player.Jack Brewer is an ex-NFL player who spent three years at the University of Minnesota before playing two seasons for the Vikings in the early 2000s.As Immigration and Customs Enforcement faces near-daily violent resistance in Minnesota, Brewer presented a theory as to why he believes residents are "attacking" law enforcement.'There is something wrong in Minneapolis. We need a city-wide behavioral health assessment.'"We're deporting their voters," Brewer stated. "That's part of what's happening, and it's blowing up their whole plan," he said in remarks to Fox News Digital.The 47-year-old said his work in third-world countries has taught him that immigration policy must be enforced because of different cultural values present worldwide."You can't allow people to come into your country who don't carry the same morals and values that you do. That's what's happening. Minneapolis is protecting these thugs. It's unbelievable. These people are demonic." "The values are not the same," Brewer went on. "You cannot let people come into the United States who come from cultures like that, because they bring their culture with them."RELATED: 'Weak, emasculated leader': Ex-Vikings player blames Tim Walz for Minnesota killings Photo Courtesy of the Committee on Arrangements for the 2020 Republican National Committee via Getty Images Brewer also took shots at residents of Minneapolis, where he once played, saying, "There is something wrong in Minneapolis. We need a city-wide behavioral health assessment. People have completely lost reality."The Texas native said that he hopes President Trump will send the National Guard into the state, calling for curfews and "real consequences" for "attacking law enforcement."Brewer also commented on Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), saying his governance has been "absolutely ridiculous."The football player received a key to the city from Frey back in 2018 but now says he wishes he could "lock" the mayor out."I wish I could lock the doors on that city and not let him back in if I had the power," Brewer said. "He tap-dances for Somalis. He does anything to go against the culture of America and Christianity for them."RELATED: Former NFL player says bringing God into schools is the only way to solve racism, economic division Photo by Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images Brewer called Minnesota the "capital of chaos in America" in June 2025 and hammered Gov. Tim Walz (D) on Father's Day."Tim Walz is the example of a weak, emasculated leader. That is not what God made fathers to be. It's pathetic," he claimed.The defensive back also said at the time that Democrats had gone "so far left" that they attack anyone within their party who does not agree with their principles.Like Blaze News?
