An anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis turned deadly Wednesday when a woman who refused repeated commands to move her vehicle instead accelerated into a federal officer, prompting him to open fire and kill her.
According to RedState, the driver has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a mother and outspoken opponent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who was blocking the road in an apparent attempt to disrupt a federal operation. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described Good as a domestic terrorist and insisted ICE agents were fully justified in their response, while prominent Democrats rushed to cast the incident as an example of federal overreach.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz quickly framed the shooting as the result of ICE provoking the confrontation and then overreacting, reinforcing a familiar progressive narrative that law enforcement is inherently at fault. New York Citys newly elected socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani escalated the rhetoric further, labeling the shooting murder before any full investigation has been completed.
Multiple videos of the incident and its aftermath have circulated widely online, each side seizing on selective clips to bolster its preferred storyline. One recording, shared by an independent account, appears to show Goods self-identified wife outside the vehicle, filming as the car blocks ICE vehicles and federal agents attempt to proceed.
BREAKING: The wife of Renee Nicole Goodthe 37-year-old Minneapolis shooting victim who attempted to run over an ICE officerappears to have been outside the vehicle filming as her wife blocked ICE vehicles, the post reads, describing a woman in a flannel shirt walking around the car and recording officers. The poster continues: She is seen wearing a flannel shirt, walking around the vehicle and recording ICE officers. She later runs back to the vehicle to check on Renee. Afterward, she tells a nearby man, Thats my wife.
Authorities have not yet authenticated the footage, but the description aligns with what is visible in the video, even if it omits the screams and chaos as the situation spiraled out of control. In the same clip, when a bystander asks if she has any relatives she can call, the woman replies, We're new here. I don't have people... I cant even breathe right now.
Another video, published by the New York Post, appears to show the same woman in the aftermath, covered in blood and sobbing as she blames herself for what happened. The outlet reports that she had been seen in multiple clips before and after the shooting, closely tailing federal agents and recording their movements.
A blood-covered woman who identified herself as the wife of Renee Nicole Good hysterically blamed herself for her partners killing at the hands of ICE agents, gut-wrenching footage shows, the Post reported. The woman, standing just steps from Goods wrecked vehicle, is heard telling a neighbor who rushed over after hearing the commotion, I made her come down here, its my fault, and, They just shot my wife.
Another social media post circulated images of The wife of Renee Nicole Good - White beanie/ plaid jkt, further tying together the various angles of the chaotic scene. The pattern that emerges from these videos is not of a peaceful, detached observer, but of an activist couple deliberately inserting themselves into a high-risk federal operation.
As with many anti-ICE demonstrations nationwide, the protest appears to have been treated by activists as a kind of performative confrontation, a chance to score viral footage and ideological points by obstructing law enforcement. ICE officers, however, are dealing with dangerous criminal networks and are not engaged in a social-media spectacle, and when a vehicle is used as a weapon against armed agents, the outcome is tragically predictable.
This deadly encounter underscores what years of incendiary left-wing rhetoric against immigration enforcement have produced: activists who believe they are morally entitled to interfere with lawful federal operations, even at the risk of their own lives and the lives of officers. The most telling silence may be from national Democrats, as there appears to be no prominent figure in the party willing to say plainly that activists should stop provoking and confronting ICE agents in the street before more people end up dead.
