Cleese, however, disagreed with Noem's version of events.

Cleese shared a post that showed ICE arresting a woman in Minneapolis in the aftermath of Good's death. The actor suggested that FIFA may want to reconsider holding games in the United States.

Cleese's post was shared by tennis legend Martina Navratilova amid dozens of other anti-ICE posts.

"An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot to protect himself and the people around him," she said.

Democrats have rushed to portray it as an example of unjust violence by the Trump administration.

Hillary Clinton posted on X Thursday that "last night, at the corner where an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, thousands of Minnesotans gathered in the frigid dark to protest her killing."

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE to "get the f--- out of Minneapolis" during a Wednesday press conference, a sentiment that was echoed by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who also posted to the Department of Homeland Security, "Get out of our city."
