The Response to Renee Good's Killing Shows the Power of Bearing Witness
"Vice President JD Vance has gone so far as to lionize Good's alleged killer, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has scrambled to demonize Good, accusing her of having engaged in an act of "domestic terror" because of her support for her immigrant neighbors who were being targeted by ICE. In reality, the murder of Good should best be understood as a public extrajudicial execution - an action that is deemed a crime against humanity under international law."
"The Minnesota-based organization Community United Against Police Brutality recently told that Good was one of hundreds of community members who had volunteered to take part in a network of "neighborhood patrols" involved in tracking, monitoring, and documenting the deployment of ICE agents in Minneapolis. Related Story Minneapolis residents have organized a steady stream of protests amid ICE raids after the killing of Renee Nicole Good."
Renée Nicole Good, a Minneapolis community volunteer, was fatally shot by an ICE agent while aiding and monitoring immigrant neighbors. High-level officials publicly defended or denounced her actions, framing them as either justified or as "domestic terror." The killing is characterized as a public extrajudicial execution and a crime against humanity, situated within broader administration policies described as a pattern of state terror. Community organizers had established neighborhood patrols to track and document ICE deployments, and residents responded with sustained protests. Local officials and advocates affirmed Good's faith-based commitment to solidarity and condemned the lethal outcome.
