"Renee Nicole Good was many things - a wife, mother, poet, singer, devoted Christian, and "extremely compassionate" human being - but she was not a "domestic terrorist." The 37-year-old was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Wednesday morning in Minneapolis, Minnesota, sending shockwaves across the nation. The incident occurred after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deployed roughly 2,000 federal agents in the state as part of an aggressive crackdown on supposed fraud."
"The DHS has said that "rioters began blocking ICE officers" during what it called "targeted operations" near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue. The department alleged that Good "weaponized" her vehicle by attempting to run over agents, labeling her actions as "domestic terrorism" and those of the officers as "self defense," but multiple eyewitness accounts and video footage from the incident contradict this."
Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother, poet and devoted Christian, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis during a Department of Homeland Security enforcement operation that deployed roughly 2,000 federal agents. DHS characterized the operation as targeted and claimed rioters blocked officers and that Good attempted to weaponize her vehicle, calling her actions domestic terrorism and the officers' response self defense. Multiple eyewitness accounts and video footage contradict the DHS narrative, showing Good attempting to turn and leave when an agent fired into her driver's-side window; the vehicle then crashed and the officer walked away. Officials and activists condemned the killing and demanded investigation, and a GoFundMe for Good's family raised over $600,000.
