Driver fatally shot by ICE agent in Minneapolis

Is JD Vance mentally challenged?

Renee Good was mother of 3 who had dropped off her youngest child at an elementary school

Vance is trying to paint Good as a domestic terrorist who attempted to ram federal agents with her Honda Pilot. Her neighbors who saw her getting executed by Ice dispute the claims of what happened and furthermore said it's completely out of character, they describe her as gentle, kind and openhearted women who was just trying to find parking near her home.

Apparently cis-female has to come off that welcome list (and put "mother" on the unwelcome list)

Have you seen how these people talk about liberal women? They see them as irrational, anti-American, radical, ugly, fat, ungrateful, stupid, and naïve. I've seen conservatives suggest that liberal women deserve to be killed or r-ped by criminals or terrorists because of their lack of patriotism and support for police.

Yeah, that s**t is scary. I saw the video and already have seen nasty comments about the woman killed. I can't decide if I am more horrified or enraged. At any rate ICE needs to be melted and face justice but this administration has basically given them full immunity so that might be a little bit hard to do.

I really chose a great period of time to read 1984 for the first time , I'm like halfway through it.

The red states need anarchy or a Maduro-type leftist dictatorship. Imagine no laws...I could smoke weed, get an abortion, and build an erotic art museum and not have to give two flying sh*ts about whether or not it's within 1,500 feet of a school or church.

The woman shot dead by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis has been identified as Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who had just moved to the city.

She was a prize-winning poet and a hobby guitarist, who city leaders have said was there as a legal observer of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities.

Her mother, Donna Ganger, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that her daughter was "probably terrified" during the confrontation with officers that saw her fatally shot and that she was "one of the kindest people I've ever known".

"She was extremely compassionate," Ganger told the daily newspaper. "She's taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being."

Her father, Tim Ganger, told the Washington Post that "she had a good life, but a hard life".
A fundraiser for Good's family, which was set up with a target of $50,000 (£37,000), raised more than $1.4m a day after it was created.

A US citizen, Good was originally from Colorado Springs.

In what appears to be her Instagram account, which has now been made private, she described herself as a "poet and writer and wife and mom", who was "experiencing Minneapolis".

She had two children, who are now teenagers, with her first husband. Speaking to US media on condition that his name was not used, he said that Good was not an activist and that she was a devoted Christian who went to Northern Ireland on youth missions when she was younger.

She hosted a podcast with her second husband, Tim Macklin, who died in 2023. They had a son together, who is now six years old, Macklin's father told the Minnesota Star Tribune.

Her third marriage was to Rebecca Good, with whom she moved to Minneapolis just last year, from Kansas City, a neighbour told the Washington Post.

"On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns," Rebecca Good said in a statement to Minnesota Public Radio on Friday.

"We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness," she said. "Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine."

Renee Good had previously worked as a dental assistant and at a credit union, but had mainly been a stay-at-home mum in recent years, according to the Associated Press.

Good studied creative writing at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, and in 2020 she won an undergraduate prize from the Academy of American Poets for her piece entitled On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs.

"When she is not writing, reading, or talking about writing, she has movie marathons and makes messy art with her daughter and two sons," her biography from the prize reads, as quoted in US media. It seems to have now been removed.

Good graduated the same year from the university's College of Arts and Letters with a degree in English.

Its president said in a statement that her sudden death was "yet another clear example that fear and violence have sadly become commonplace in our nation".

"May Renee's life be a reminder of what unites us: freedom, love, and peace," Old Dominion University president Brian Hemphill wrote.

Several state leaders have said that Good was at the scene of an ICE raid in the south of Minneapolis as a legal observer - a volunteer who monitors police and security forces at protests and operations.

Good's mother told the Minnesota Star Tribune that her daughter was "not part of anything" that involved challenging ICE agents.

But White House officials, including the president, have said Good was not simply observing, but also interfering in the officers' work.

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Good had been "stalking and impeding their work" all day by "blocking them in" with her car and "shouting at them".

Good "weaponised her vehicle", Noem told reporters, and then tried to run over one of the officers "in an attempt to kill or cause bodily harm to agents, an act of domestic terrorism".

The ICE agent feared for his life, Noem said, and "fired defensive shots".

This account was backed up by Trump, who wrote on Truth Social that "the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting".

He called her a "professional agitator" who "violently, willfully, and viciously" ran over an ICE officer.

But the city's mayor said the agent who shot Good had acted recklessly.

"Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly: that is BS," Jacob Frey said. "This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed."

Renee Good was also a devout Christian. I'm guessing MAGA Christians conveniently forgot/ignore scripture.
"The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt" (Leviticus 19:34).

Newly obtained cellphone video shows moments before deadly shooting
The 37-second video, one of several circulating of the incident, is believed to be taken by the ICE agent who fired the shots.

In the video, Good can be heard saying, "That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you," as the ICE agent walks around filming her vehicle in the road. A dog can be seen in the backseat.

Another ICE agent approaches her door and can be heard saying, "Get out of the car. Get out of the f------ car."

Good is seen reversing the car and then turning the steering wheel right, as someone can be heard yelling out, "Drive!"

As Good drives forward, the officer filming can be heard yelling out 'Oh!" as several shots are fired.

'F------ b***h," someone says as the car is seen driving off and crashing down the block.


County attorney says ICE officer 'does not have complete immunity here'
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty reiterated during Friday's press briefing that her office, which covers Minneapolis, has the jurisdiction to make any charging decision in Wednesday's deadly ICE shooting.

"I can say that the ICE officer does not have complete immunity here," she said at the end of the briefing when asked about the immunity of ICE agents.

The comment comes a day after Vice President JD Vance claimed the ICE officer involved in the shooting is "protected by absolute immunity."

"The unprecedented thing is the idea that a local official can actually prosecute a federal official with absolute immunity. I've never seen anything like that," he said during a White House briefing on Thursday.
