British freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy says he has received threats in the wake of a social media post that targeted ICE,<\/a> the United States immigration and customs enforcement agency, last week.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kenworthy, who was born in Chelmsford but has lived in the US for most of his life, posted an image on his Instagram account that showed the words ‘fuck ICE’, apparently urinated into the snow.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old posted a video late on Sunday<\/a> in which he said: ‘The other day I posted a photo with my thoughts on ICE and that photo has since gone everywhere \u2013 and I\u2019ve gotten a ton of messages and most of them honestly have been supportive and encouraging.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

‘But a lot of the messages have been awful, people telling me to kill myself, threatening me, wishing they\u2019ll get to see me blow my knee or break my neck during my event, calling me slurs \u2026 it\u2019s insane.’<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
