Team GB skier posts graphic anti-ICE protest as Winter Olympics backlash continues
Team GB skier urinates anti-ICE message into snow at Winter Olympics
- British Winter Olympian Gus Kenworthy posted a graphic message against the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency on social media.
- Kenworthy, who will compete for Team GB in the freeski half-pipe at the Milano-Cortina Games, appeared to urinate 'Fuck ICE' in the snow.
- His protest comes amidst growing backlash against ICE's alleged brutality against US citizens and its involvement in policing at the Winter Olympics.
- Kenworthy encouraged followers to send letters to US senators, urging them to rein in ICE and Border Patrol's power and funding.
- The International Olympic Committee (IOC) stated it does not regulate personal social media posts, and Team GB is not concerned as it is a personal opinion unrelated to the Games.
