Franklin Graham said protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement following the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis are being driven by the “radical socialist left,” claiming they aim to destabilize the United States.
In a Facebook post, Graham warned that many protesters are being used as political “pawns” and urged Americans to pray for the nation and its leaders, including President Donald J. Trump.
The comments come amid controversy over the Jan. 7 shooting of Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis mother of three, who was killed by an ICE officer during an enforcement operation.
Federal officials say the shooting was in self-defense after Good allegedly ignored commands and struck an officer with her vehicle, while critics dispute that account.
