Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minnesota while protesting / interfering with ICE operations. I’ve read numerous explanations, ranging from the Far Left to the Far Right.
This is the one that seems closest to the truth to me. One of these two links should work (same article, different publications):
Minnesota shooting was preventable. Let ICE do their job | Opinion
Renee Good didn’t have to die, but be honest about ICE shooting | Opinion
The only major factors that it omits are:
- That there is a recent history of either protestors or fleeing gang members/undocumenteds like the Tren de Aragua gang members who were shot when they tried to mow down ICE agents: Illegal criminals released into US by Biden admin ID’d as Portland Tren de Aragua gangbangers shot while trying to mow down feds
- That Jonathan Ross, the former Iraq war veteran and member of the Border Patrol since 2017, who shot Good, had been targeted, run down, and dragged 50 – 100 yards by a fleeing convicted sex offender and undocumented immigrant, necessitating 34 stitches.
Ross has been based in Minnesota since he joined ICE in 2015. He is assigned to fugitive operations, seeking to arrest “higher value targets” in the ICE region that includes Minneapolis, he testified last month. He said that he was also a team leader with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and develops the targets, creates a target package, surveillance, and then develops plans to execute the arrest warrants.
Ross is an active shooter instructor, a field intelligence officer and member of the SWAT team. He attended the Border Patrol’s academy in New Mexico, where he learned to speak Spanish.

Just an awful circumstance all around that is being fanned to flame up new riots ahead of midterms.
Renee Good was instigating. That doesn’t in any way condemn her but it puts her in the midst of professional law enforcement in stressed circumstances. She was (as I understand) a person who had some training in how to agitate near ICE.
She did not deserve to die. I can say that with certainty. Neither did the agent she struck with her car (indisputable evidence on that) deserve or sign up to be hit by cars. The moment she gunned her car in his direction, he was in fight mode.
Had the agent been dragged under the car, say if he had stepped left instead of right, this would be minor news. But, since he decided to fire at her, it’s a national incident.
she acted stupidly, from the point she put herself in harms way to the critical instigating point of gunning the motor in the general direction of an agent. She didn’t deserve to die any more than a person dancing on the edge of a cliff does, but the risk was there and the agent’s first shot looked completely justifiable.
that said, I’m not sure the two additional rounds he fired into the passenger window will pass muster. He may be in legal jeopardy if those were overkill.
this whole thing, which is almost completely on video, is the most fascinating Rorschach test I have seen. People literally watch the video and say “she didn’t hit him with her car” when it’s plain as day. They also say “good shoot” without the nuance that there may be excessive force.

A lot of discussion about how much brainwashing it takes to convince a woman with a young child, who lost her husband 3 years ago, to move to Minnesota for the express purpose of confronting ICE. I read a story about how the grandfather had to pick up the son because he has “nobody” now. Then I read about the wife. It’s sad for Ms. Good, but I blame the people who propogandized and rotted her brain to this point.
