Brittney Griner wants Americans to understand something crucial about what’s happening in Minneapolis right now. Griner’s new ESPN documentary The Brittney Griner Story premieres at Sundance this week. But Griner believes her story carries urgent lessons about the ICE surge currently terrorizing Twin Cities communities. Federal agents have flooded Minneapolis since December 2025, conducting militarized raids that mirror tactics Griner experienced firsthand in Putin’s system. Schools have gone into lockdown to protect students from federal agents.
