Here’s What Dems Don’t Want You to Know About the Woman Who Attacked ICE Agents

An eyewitness to the incident has completely blown apart the left’s false narratives and even directly contradicted claims from the victim’s own mother that she had nothing to do with the protest that turned violent.

The woman who was killed was identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. After her death, Good’s mother insisted that her daughter was “not part of anything like that at all” when it came to the anti-ICE protests.

The witness account tells a very different story, one that places Good at the center of an organized effort to obstruct federal agents.

The witness said the incident began early in the morning after hearing an unusual noise outside.

“I woke up to some commotion. I heard some whistles going on out front, so I came downstairs to see what was going on,” the witness said.

The scene quickly came into focus. Traffic was blocked, and Good’s vehicle was positioned to halt movement entirely.
...
The witness went further, explaining that Good was not a peripheral figure but the lead vehicle in the protest.

“They clearly wanted her out of there, um, because she was the main car leading the, um, the protest is my understanding,” the witness said. “I talked to another guy who was driving behind her.”

The witness continued, “She was very — she was very successful in blocking traffic. She was doing what she was, what she was set out to do, and so they wanted to get her the hell out of there.”

Randos headed for WallyWorld don't suddenly lead a caravan of obstructors of ICE. There's probably more to come about her actual views and actions. Given that the obstructors seem to have arrived ahead of or concurrent with the ICE team's arrival, I wonder if this confrontation and shooting is the result of some sort of tip-off.

Homan: I Won't Make a Judgment Call Before the Investigation – And Why Would Anyone Else?

https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/01/08/homan-i-wont-make-a-judgment-call-before-the-investigation-and-why-would-anyone-else-n3810621

In the midst of a rhetorical war that nearly turned into a street war, where all sides seem intent on escalating tension and jumping to conclusions, Homan reminded everyone of the proper way to deal with use-of-force events. Newly minted CBS News anchor Tony Dokupil sat down with Homan just a few hours after the fatal shooting during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation, and pressed the border czar to offer his conclusions.

Homan refused, and expressed frustration that public officials on both sides had already jumped into that fray. "The investigation has just started," Homan said, and then insisted that he would not reach any conclusion on the justification for the shooting until he's seen all of the evidence. "It would be unprofessional to comment on what I think happened in that situation," Homan explained. "What good would it do for me to prejudge the facts of what happened today?" Homan asked.

Q/ What do you call an "investigation" when the officials organizing it have proclaimed a conclusion?

A/ A shamvestigation!

NBC News Analysis Destroys the Left’s Narrative on the ICE Shooting

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/01/08/nbc-news-just-destroyed-the-lefts-narrative-on-the-ice-shooting-n4948037

But NBC News did something unexpected.

The network aired a frame-by-frame breakdown of surveillance video that actually showed what happened.

The conclusion vindicated the ICE agent.
NBC correspondent Tom Winter walked viewers through the footage in real time. He showed the angle where the ICE agent is clearly visible, struck by the vehicle Good was driving. Winter's initial on-air description focused on what the video actually showed rather than on partisan rhetoric.

NBC News correspondent Tom Llamas noted that authorities had already made one key point clear. “Stuff we’re learning from the get-go, again, the police chief saying this vehicle was blocking the federal agents right there,” Llamas said.

Winter then revealed a key point. “We don’t know what happened before this, but they’re definitely gonna look at the fact this is an unmarked vehicle, but the lights are on, these are clearly members of law enforcement, so that’s at least known to this driver,” he explained.

As the footage played, Llamas pointed out that agents moved directly toward the vehicle and attempted to make contact. “Let’s play the video, because something else happens right here. Those officers approach the vehicle, they try to open the door,” he said.
...
Moments later, the situation turned deadly. “And then, of course, what the driver does next — let’s play that video — trying to leave there. One of the officers felt like they were forced to fire, and they do,” Llamas said as the footage showed the vehicle moving.

A reverse angle made the danger even clearer. After freezing the frame, Llamas asked what investigators would take from it. Winter’s answer highlighted the core self-defense issue. “Well, this appears to show an officer right in front of the vehicle. That, and between the way that the vehicle was moving and the timeline of that, how was the officer responding in that split second gonna be critical for investigators,” he said.

Walz's shamvestigation will, like many Karens, find the numerous security and bystander videos, ummmmm, inconvenient to Walz's desired/ordered conclusion. As would any sham-prosecution, if the Prog stupidity got that hysterical.

[Texacon]

The more videos that come out, the worse this looks for the woman.

These people are like children. Once you tell them you’re going to give them to the count of 3, they continue doing what they are. Up to the point of getting the consequence, then they want to cry foul.

I’m not far from loading up and joining a group of counter protestors who use the same rules the liberals do. They won’t like the outcome.

The more of this that happens, the more people will learn what “peacefully protest” means. They’ve been pushing the envelope and now they’re learning.

Oh, So That's the New Narrative the Left Is Pushing About the ICE Shooting in Minneapolis

It’s a claim as fake as the Russian collusion hoax: Renee Nicole Good, 37, who was shot and killed as she rammed into ICE agents, was a legal observer. No, she was a left-wing nutjob who led these interference convoys against ICE raids. Good was so entitled that she felt she could supersede the law and paid dearly for it. She got blasted in the face. It was deserved. She assaulted federal agents. A tip on how not to get shot by police: don’t turn your car into a weapon, you worthless dingbats.

A compilation of leftist politicians using the same language yet again:

What a weasel term that basically means the same as "community organizer" or "affordability".

I see the Democrats are engaged in their usual newspeak.

Also, wasn't Omar the one who said the people Kyle Rittenhouse shot were "gathered to affirm the value of human life" (or words to that effect, and told a news publication to "Fix their damn headlines"? Or am I thinking someone else?

I wouldn't be surprised if they were tipped off. Especially after today when they went to the federal building to protest because they were told that agents would be there.

Woman Killed In Minneapolis Was "ICE Watch" Left-Wing Activist Trained To Resist Fed Agents: Report
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/left-wing-protest-industrial-complex-activates-across-multiple-cities-after-ice-involved

The New York Post reports that Renee Nicole Good was an anti-ICE "warrior" and part of a network of left-wing activists who worked to "document and resist" ICE operations in Minnesota. 

Key details from the NYPost report:

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son's woke charter school, which boasts that it puts "social justice first" and "involving kids in political and social activism," multiple local sources said.

"She was a warrior. She died doing what was right," a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.

Good and her wife Rebecca, 40, who were raising the child together and sent the boy to Southside Family Charter School, a K-5 academy opened in 1972 which has from its inception been "unabashedly dedicated to social justice education," according to co-founder Susie Oppenheim.

It was through her involvement in the school community that Good became involved in "ICE Watch" — a loose coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in the sanctuary city.

"From my understanding, she was involved in social justice ... we are a tight-knit community and a lot of parents are [activists]," former Southside gym teacher Rashad Rich, who resigned from the school last month, told The Post.

Renee Nicole Good was an anti-ICE warrior.

Border Patrol Agents Shoot Two People In Sanctuary City Portland
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/border-patrol-agents-shoot-two-people-sanctuary-city-portland

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents shot two individuals in the sanctuary city of Portland on Thursday evening, according to local media. The incident comes one day after the ICE-involved shooting of an "ICE Watch" left-wing activist in Minneapolis on Wednesday. While details surrounding the Portland shooting remain scarce, the risk of overnight protests or riots is elevated, given the metro area's established Antifa presence and left-wing activist networks.

Portland-based KATU reports:

Portland police said their officers were called to 102nd and Southeast Main Street at about 2:20 p.m., where they said they confirmed federal agents were involved in a shooting.

The condition of the two people who were shot wasn't immediately known but Portland City Council President Elana Pirtle-Guiney said as far as she knew they were still alive.

Portland police said at a 2:24 p.m., they had learned that a man who had been shot called to request help near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside. Arriving officers found a man and a woman wounded from apparent gunshot wounds. Police confirmed federal agents were involved. The two people who were wounded were taken to the hospital.

Two people shot in Portland.

US Border agent shoots, wounds two people in Portland that DHS says are gang members

https://katu.com/news/local/ice-shoots-two-people-in-portlandoregon

In a post on X, DHS said the passenger in the vehicle was from Venezuela and illegally in the United States and was believed to be affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring. DHS said the person had also been involved in a shooting in Portland.


"When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents. Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene," DHS said.

The FBI said it is investigating the shooting.

Well, this should have DU-grade thug-defenders in full outrage.

Minnesota Star Tribune Doxxes Agent

https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/01/09/minnesota-star-tribune-doxxes-agent-n3810651

As death threats are hurled at ICE agents in general, and made about the ICE agent who shot Renee Good in particular, my local newspaper doxxed the agent.

The Star Tribune is the state's largest newspaper and is run by one of Tim Walz's former appointees and friends. As the national media have been chasing down the billions of dollars in fraud that Walz has enabled, the Star Tribune has been covering it up and denying that it really is much of a thing at all.

The "reporter" trying to get the ICE agent and his family killed is Deena Winter. I do not know where she lives and won't being trying to dox her. Conservatives and government people should cancel subscriptions to the STrib and refuse to speak with her, professionally or socially.

The agent and his family should move to temporary housing and non-injurious traps (guards, nets, snares) set for people attempting to harm them or vandalize their home.

My concern is that the DemonRat overlords are going to keep stirring the pot and pumping their brainless minions into a frenzy until they think that they're ready to play a game of conservatives and liberals.

Renee Nicole Good was Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch’ ‘warrior’ who trained to resist feds before shooting

https://nypost.com/2026/01/08/us-news/renee-nicole-good-was-minneapolis-ice-watch-warrior-who-trained-to-resist-feds-before-shooting/

MINNEAPOLIS — Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.

“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.
...
Just as many others did in the lefty enclave, Good sent her son to Southside Family Charter School, a K-5 academy opened in 1972 that from its inception has been “unabashedly dedicated to social justice education,” according to co-founder Susie Oppenheim.

It was through her involvement in the school community that Good became involved in “ICE Watch” — a loose coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in the sanctuary city.
...
“[Renee Good] was trained against these ICE agents — what to do, what not to do, it’s a very thorough training,” Leesa said.

“To listen to commands, to know your rights, to whistle when you see an ICE agent,” she added.

Good got involved with local anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old child’s charter school.
Facebook/ODU English Department

The group started out as a very loose confederation of anti-ICE activists, but has recently aligned itself with more radical organizations including Twin Cities Ungovernables.

Renee Good was not a confused single Mom who unknowingly wandered into the ICE action.

This May Be the Best Analysis of the ICE Shooting Video Yet

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/01/09/this-may-be-the-best-analysis-of-the-ice-shooting-video-yet-n4948085

I’ve seen it all, and let me tell you, of all the analyses out there, podcaster Tim Pool has delivered the clearest and most persuasive breakdown of the video evidence from the shooting I’ve seen yet.

After initially giving Good the benefit of the doubt, Pool says slowed-down footage forced him to reverse his position completely, and his frame-by-frame analysis is fantastic.

Pool began by acknowledging his earlier assessment and then explained why it no longer holds up. “While I initially said that I believed she wasn’t intending to hit the officer and was trying to flee, but still put the officer in fear of harm — uh, no, I’ve changed my mind,” Pool said.

What changed his view was a close examination of the video at reduced speed. And trust me, lots of people have slowed down and/or enhanced the video, but most have simply done so and claimed it only proved their original conclusion.

Pool, however, walked viewers through the footage and pointed out details that are easy to miss at full speed, details others either missed or ignored, starting with the officer’s feet.
...
Pool highlights the moment the vehicle makes contact. “Look at his feet right here in the back left. … Notice his feet both slide backwards,” Pool explained. “You see his foot sliding? Yeah, he’s not taking a step. He’s being hit by the vehicle.”
...
“Here’s the vehicle reversing. The officer is not in front of the vehicle,” Pool said. “She reverses and now he is in front of the vehicle.” He adds critical context about timing and positioning: “He initially is to the right of the vehicle. By all means argue he should not have placed … himself in this position. We’re talking about seconds.”

The most damning detail comes next.

Pool paused the footage at the exact moment the vehicle stops. “The vehicle stops here. The wheels are pointed left. As you can see, the officer is standing right in front of the vehicle,” he said. Then comes the acceleration. “Watch the front tire right here. The wheels are pointed left, and she accelerates.”

What happens next undercuts the claim that Good was merely trying to escape. “The wheel spins out on ice,” Pool explained. “Then, with the wheels pointed at the officer, having spun out already, meaning the officer can hear the engine rev with it pointed at him, he draws his weapon.”
...
For Pool, her intent is now beside the point when you take the physical reality into account. “I don’t know what her intentions were, and it’s immaterial what her intentions were,” he said. The mechanics of the vehicle tell the story on their own. “The tire’s spinning out and slipping on the ice before stopping.”

Pool closes with what may be the most important takeaway of all. “There are two points that I think are important. Were it not for the ice, which you can see on the ground, the vehicle would have just lurched forward, run this guy over,” he said. “Seriously.”

BREAKING: Alpha News obtains new footage of ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis

https://alphanews.org/breaking-alpha-news-obtains-new-footage-of-ice-involved-shooting-in-minneapolis/

Alpha News has obtained cellphone footage of the ICE-involved shooting that took place in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning. The cellphone footage was filmed by the federal agent involved in the incident.
...
Now, Alpha News has obtained a new video which shows the first-person perspective of the ICE agent who was at the center of the incident. The 47-second clip provides an up-close view of what happened in Minneapolis that day.

The X post with the 47-second video clip is embedded in the article. Just before things happen, the cell phone is pointed toward the Honda Pilot's front right fender, but the jarring movement before the shots were fired are a "clue" to where the officer was.

The mocker in the plaid coat who was filming, apparently, is Renee Good's "wife". Their - Renee and Becca - arrogant smugness did not turn out well for them.

[DLR Pyro]

99.9998% of the rabid left won't get that pun...

[SVPete]

One aspect of this shooting is that there were probably a dozen or two dozen people filming the event from multiple angles, plus several more security cameras and an occasional resident or three. Given Becca's taunting and antics, several people were filming her. There are probably as many as several dozen videos of varied sources that could "drop", but are being withheld because they do or might show that the shooting was justified. This is pure speculation on my part, of course.

Anyway, since we seem to be between video drops, I thought I'd comment on something Becca Good said (I'm using the names the MSM  and ConservaMedia have all used and demonstrating that we here in the Cave are not hesitant to "Say her name"). Apparently, after Renee's (male) husband died and her hooking up with Becca, they moved and spent some time in Canada. Becca's comments that they would not be changing their license plates and that they were US citizens suggest that they had registered their car in Canada, but even though they had been in MN about a year, they had violated MN law by not registering their car in MN.

I'm sure I probably swing a lot more anti-law enforcement than many of you are comfortable with.

I used to be unquestioning toward most LEOs...until I had to work with them. I came to develop the gnawing sense that they are so used to not being challenged that they are sloppy at best or seeking to curry favor from their superiors at worst. Either way, it led to some of the worst bullshit I have ever seen. They will say shit off the top of their head just to advance their case. They aren't looking for justice, they want the W.

Military investigators all the more so. It didn't matter if they were MPs, CID, or command-appointed investigating officers. More times than not they are driven by agenda, rather than facts and law. The result is watching them massage evidence to gain a sexual assault rap just because the unit barracks bunny didn't want her Article 15 for a DUI. I've seen a young Soldier pushed to the edge of suicide because they refused to follow up on exculpatory evidence. It goes on.

I ran into a dude who is a former IC, working with CID. Based on other parts of the conversation, I'm confident in his credentials. I'm also completely alert to his bullshit. He perfectly illustrates the intellectual laziness that drove me to where I am.

He outright lied to my face even though I had already made him aware of my own professional experience. He insisted ICE has no arrest authority against US citizens, not even when those citizens are directly obstructing them.

Lefty needs this conviction because they need to discredit the deportations. They need to discredit the deportations because they need Trump to fail. They will pervert the law to do it.
