Team GB skier Gus Kenworthy launched an attack on US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers by urinating the words “F*** ICE” in the snow days before the Olympic Games.
Kenworthy, 34, shared the picture on Instagram and urged Americans to write to their senators and rally against the controversial immigration agency whose officers killed two people in Minnesota.
“Innocent people have been murdered, and enough is enough,” wrote Kenworthy. “We can’t wait around while ICE continues to operate with unchecked power in our communities.
“Senators still have leverage right now … and must use it to demand real guardrails and accountability – including getting ICE and CBP [customs and border protection] out of our communities, ending blank-check funding for brutality, and establishing clear limits on warrantless arrests, profiling, and enforcement at sensitive locations like schools and hospitals.”
Kenworthy, who is competing in the free-ski half-pipe in Milan, followed up with another post on Friday that was captioned: ““My last post was pee so it only felt appropriate to follow it up with a lil’ dump … of photos from January. Yes, I am a child.”
ICE agents are currently in Milan as part of the security detail for Vice President JD Vance.
An International Olympic Committee media spokesperson told The Guardian that Kenworthy will not be punished for the post.
“During the Olympic Games, all participants have the opportunity to express their views as per the Athlete Expression Guidelines. The IOC does not regulate personal social media posts.”
