"Minneapolis has shown me that even in the middle of grief and fear, people still show up for each other. For that, I want to say thank you. Thank you to this incredible community for showing up again and again - organizing food and rides, making sure our kids get to school, checking in on neighbors, and standing together in the cold. I am so proud to call Minneapolis my home."
"Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last. You know my wife's name and you know Alex's name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don't know - their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don't look like mine. They are neighbors, friends, coworkers, classmates. And we must also know their names. Because this shouldn't happen to anyone."
Becca Good made her first public appearance at a memorial at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis following Renee Good’s death. She did not speak; Rabbi Arielle Lekach-Rosenberg read a statement on her behalf. The statement thanked Minneapolis residents for organizing food and rides, helping children, checking on neighbors, and standing together in cold. It said Renee was killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent on January 7 while driving through an area where ICE was operating. It referenced Alex Pretti’s death at the hands of Border Patrol on January 24 and noted both were U.S. citizens observing. The statement called for recognition of other unnamed victims harmed by enforcement operations.
