Minneapolis ICE Self-Defense Shooting

A lot of blather is being spouted by the Left over the ICE shooting of the woman who was shot after she blocked the roadway and then attempted to use her SUV to run over and kill an ICE agent.

I've seen the video and it's obvious this woman backed up her vehicle to get a running start then tried to run him over. Sorry, Lefties, but this is definitely a FAFO moment. One cannot expect to use their vehicle to try to kill a law enforcement officer and not expect to be shot. What in hell was this woman thinking?

Judge for yourself:

So true...

DAVID MARCUS: ICE protesters put lives at risk, and not just theirs

Renee Nicole Good was killed Wednesday while allegedly impeding federal agents during enforcement operation

January 8, 2026

The buzz around Hollywood is that the new film "One Battle After Another," which features left-wing vigilantes triumphing over the evil American government, is set up to win a Best Picture Oscar.

In Minneapolis Wednesday, we saw what happens when this silver screen fantasy meets the bloody reality of the actual world, where, during an altercation with ICE agents, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed.

Over the past day, various videos of the confrontation have been scrutinized as if they were the Zapruder film. What seems clear is that an officer was struck by Good’s car as she attempted to flee the scene, and he shot her through the driver's side window.

What is less clear, at least to the critics of law enforcement, mainly on the left, is whether the officer in question could have used less deadly means in the situation. But the thorniness of that very issue is precisely why the anti-cop vigilante tactics used by Good are a terrible and deadly idea.

NOEM CONDEMNS ALLEGED ATTACK ON ICE AGENTS STUCK IN SNOW IN MINNEAPOLIS AS 'ACT OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM'

In the leftist world of protesting, there are two basic methods. The first is known as indirect action, such as holding a sign, chanting or marching along a sanctioned route. The other method is direct action, which is basically anything that might get you arrested.

According to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Good, along with others, including her wife, had spent the day impeding ICE officers who were doing their legal job.

The purpose of Good and her comrades was to create confrontation with law enforcement, and that is exactly what happened.

Nobody will ever know if Good intended to hit the officer with her car, or just panicked trying to get away. While it may feel viscerally like her death was too high a price to pay, these are the wages of direct action vigilantism.

The problem for cops is that the use of vehicles as weapons against them has skyrocketed in recent years, along with flat-out ambush attacks on them such as occurred in Dallas in September. Their threat level has never been higher.

When Good uses her car to block in law enforcement’s vehicle, the first thought of the officers isn’t "How do I de-escalate this?" It is "Are we being pinned down so people can shoot at us."

The mantra of many on the left, including Antifa, whose tactics Good was employing, is "resistance by any means necessary." And if that puts lives at risk by shutting down streets so ambulances can’t move, or by driving at a cop, so be it, according to these radicals.

In fact, it is these agitators and the local police departments in places like Minneapolis and Portland who won’t arrest them, that create the very circumstances that lead to deadly confrontation. And they do it on purpose.

To take it a step further, the unwillingness of these police forces to punish direct action protesting has sent a clear message to the Antifa types that the streets belong to them. That is not how ICE officers operate, nor should it be.

I’ll be blunt, if the feckless manchild mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, actually allowed his police to arrest people for criminal protesting, this tragedy never would have happened.

Further, if Democratic mayors and governors simply cooperated with ICE and handed over criminals instead of protecting them, these ICE officers would never have even been there in the first place.

Left-wing protesters have to understand that it is not the job of law enforcement to allow them to commit crimes just because they think their cause is just. After all, pretty much everyone thinks their cause is just.

The message today should be crystal clear, and sung in unison: Protesters need to stop their illegal efforts to impede federal agents. That isn’t protest. It is criminal behavior and as we saw, it gets people killed.

When Hollywood makes movies like "One Battle After Another" and celebrates anti-government violence, its "brave" stars like Leonardo DiCaprio don’t get shot, they get rich, they might even get Academy Awards, but that is because the movies are not real life.

In real life, anti-cop vigilante violence does get people killed, and sadly, though predictably, given the coddling of the criminals, that is exactly what happened in Minneapolis.

Sorry, I have to disagree here, I am rightwing like you.

These "ICE" people are behaving like FSB thugs under Putin. I think its either bad apples are in their ranks, or they are given draconian orders by bad directors. First thing police here in Canada are trained to do, is being diplomatic, try to de-escalate the scene. They are not dealing with biker gangs, drug cartels hoodlums or criminals.
They enforce the immigration dept. rules, illegals stuff like that. So, in other words poor, disinfranchished people looking for greener pastures. Here in Canada, illegals are molly cuddled, and treated better, then people on old age pension, which is also too far the other way. There has to be a "middle ground" so this never happens again.

 

True, these are not biker gangs, etc. But, the problem is that it doesn’t have to be a biker gang. It can easily be a 13-year-old kid with a gun who tries to kill a cop. Or a 37-year-old lady who uses a 4000 pound vehicle who tries to run over and kill a cop.

Having been in law enforcement for most of my life, we are trained to use deadly force should we be in a situation where there is imminent deadly harm to ourselves or others. What this idiot did in Minneapolis was place the agent’s life in danger. From watching the video, there is simply no question about it. She used her vehicle to try to run him over and, potentially, kill him or others. He made the right decision by using the force necessary to eliminate the threat and actions SHE initiated. Totally justified.

 

Calling B.S. since when?

Though it would explain a lot...

 

Have you been in law enforcement? If not, you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

 

I remember a time in this country when we respected authority figures. Loss of life is tragic to be certain but it can be avoided by simply following directions. Good things seldom happen when authority is defied. Sadly it seems to be the rule these days.

 

No I'm not calling the training is misrepresented, I'm calling B.S. on you being some kind of ex-leo.

 

LOL! OK, whatever.

 

Here's another video of this incident which shows the ICE agent's point-of-view as this Leftist professional agitator and domestic terrorist tried to run him over. This video is from the agent's cell phone which he was using to record this interaction with the terrorist and her wife.

 

You're not convincing anyone but yourself. The reaction from the country has been pretty clear they know exactly what happened and won't be gaslit

 

Let's take a little closer look at this ridiculous anti-ICE "ICE WATCH" group that this Leftist moron belonged to. I mean, when she had kids at home that she should be taking care of, why in the world is this idiot out on the icy streets with her wife trying to block ICE agents and trying to kill them? Things that make you go "Hmmmmmm....".

Renee Good Belonged to ‘ICE Watch’ Group That Trained Activists to Interfere with Agents, Block Vehicles

January 9, 2025

Renee Nicole Good, the Minnesota woman who was fatally shot by an ICE officer, belonged to a Minneapolis-based “ICE Watch” group that actively tracked immigration enforcement operations and trained activists to interfere with agents, including by blocking law enforcement vehicles.

ICE Watch chapters, which have cropped up in communities across the country in recent years, train activists to monitor ICE activity using purpose-built apps and alert allies who have been trained to flood an operation area and interfere with arrests being made.

An Instagram account identified as “MN Ice Watch” instructs to report the locations and appearances of ICE agents. The account has posted photos across Minneapolis of law-enforcement agents, vehicle license plate numbers, and ICE officers’ faces; the account generates information via anonymous reports and submissions from local activists.

On a tab titled “Education,” the account promotes information about how to “de-arrest” individuals who have been arrested by law-enforcement by “physically removing an arrestee from a law enforcement officer’s grips, opening the door of a car or pressuring law enforcement officers to release an arrestee.” The “de-arrest primer” goes on to describe the benefits of blocking police vehicles.

“If you don’t have a crowd asserting pressure there may be some interference charges that come with blocking a police vehicle that may be more easily handed down for only one or two people blocking a police vehicle, but in many cases these are misdemeanor offenses and catch and release,” the primer notes.

Good, whose affiliation with MN ICE Watch was first reported by the New York Post, was shot and killed on Wednesday by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. DHS sources confirmed her membership in the group to Fox News.

Videos of the now-viral shooting show Good operating an SUV parked perpendicularly to block a street where ICE operations were taking place. After several moments, Good drives forward as an ICE agent approaches her vehicle from the front. The officer opens fire as the vehicle approaches, firing once through the windshield and twice more through the driver’s side window.

DHS sources told Fox that Good had followed ICE agents to two separate locations before she was shot in what the Trump administration says was self-defense. Good was blocking the roadway to disrupt law enforcement at the time and Good was “stalking and impeding” agents all day prior to the shooting, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said at a Thursday press conference.

The tactics DHS says Good was employing appear to be in keeping with those advocated by the ICE Watch group she belonged to.

MN ICE Watch distributed pamphlets to the community last summer on the subjects of “Building a Midwest Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement”; “Stepping up: Ways your community can defend itself from the police”; and “How to get ready for a demonstration.” The group also distributed a field guide on the Minneapolis Police Department squad vehicle numbers. And, six days ago, the account posted a video of Malcolm X saying, “You don’t get freedom peacefully.”

In June 2025, the Minneapolis-based ICE Watch chapter organized a protest in support of Isabel Lopez, a resident who showed up to a Mexican restaurant after local activists reported online that it was being swarmed by Homeland Security and ICE agents. Law enforcement officials later confirmed that the federal presence was related to a criminal investigation, not an immigration enforcement operation; by that time, activists had already encouraged locals to show up at the restaurant to protest.

Lopez was accused of obstructing, attacking, and kicking federal ICE agents, and throwing a softball at a local sheriff’s deputy during the protest. Minneapolis ICE Watch called her a “crucial defender of [First Amendment] rights” and the rest of our inalienable human rights” at the time.

The Instagram account also recently promoted the “Stop ICE Plate Tracker,” just one of many ICE-tracker services that “catalogues vehicles identified in public spaces used in raids.” Although last year the Trump administration pressured Apple to remove from its App Store some of the most popular ICE-tracker apps, many are still available. A cursory search of tracking services after the ICE shooting in Minneapolis on Wednesday shows how activists are using them to monitor officers.

ICEinmyarea.org has multiple listings for recently spotted ICE agents near Minneapolis. Near a Starbucks in Robbinsdale, users posted a photo of a police car and black SUV with the caption, “Agents emerged from black unmarked SUV and approached people in white SUV. Robbinsdale police were dispatched and successfully removed ICE agent from the scene.” In Eagen, users posted a location pin with the caption, “They were getting gas at the Holiday. Didn’t have a chance to get a picture. Two white sprinter vans. All wearing masks and full gear. Saw at least 6 people.” In the 24 hours after Good’s death, users posted twelve sightings of ICE agents in the area on ICEinmyarea.org.

The app F.I.R.E. operates an interactive map on which users have posted at least nine officer sightings in Minnesota over the past 24 hours at a Walmart and near a school, among other locations. There are community threads from Minnesota on Reddit that likewise pinpoint agents’ locations. Individuals who downloaded ICEBlock before it was taken off the App Store last year can still use its services and post ICE sightings.

A Minneapolis ICE Watch group on Facebook, which describes itself as an “Autonomous Collective Documenting & Resisting Against ICE, Police, And All Colonial Militarized Abuse,” has not been active since last year, but similarly encourages residents to report ICE activity in detail.

Good, a mother of three, learned of ICE Watch through her six-year-old son’s charter school community, the Post reported. Southside Family Charter School in South Minneapolis says in its mission statement that it involves “children in political and social activism, encouraging creative expression, offering a wide range of electives and advocating for children and families.”

The school integrates “social justice into every grade level, telling the stories of the people, not the people in power, and helping students understand history and their role in making the world a better place,” according to its website, and encourages students and families to accomplish social-justice projects together.

In 2015, for example, when Minneapolis residents started an encampment to protest the death of Jamar Clark, a young black man shot by cops, three Southside Family Charter School classmates, ages five, five, and six, were photographed and asked to describe the sit-in in one word each: “Lonely, excited, happy.”

I don't have to convince myself. I can see the videos as plain as day. So, sorry, no gaslighting going on here.

You can see for yourself exactly what happened and how this woman brought about her own death by trying to kill an ICE agent. I've submitted videos from two different angles, one which shows specifically that she gunned her vehicle with the agent in front of her and another showing that she ran into the agent and tried to kill him.

Those fools you're talking about who think "they know exactly what happened" are either blind like yourself, refuse to believe the truth or are pushing a narrative that fits their agenda.

The videos don't lie.

 

If there's no need to convince yourself, why do you keep posting? Almost as if you have to try to reinforce some narrative. It's obvious from the videos she was not trying to kill him. I believe he got spooked and panicked due to the high tension situation, then turned to lethal force immediately. Remember 2 of the 3 bullets went in the drivers side window. Tough to make that shot while being run down.

But whatever you say officer coinokc...

 

I keep posting new information on this because, well, there's new information coming out. All the information definitely shows that this officer was in this woman's path of destruction and, as witnessed by the videos, was struck by her vehicle and would have done more harm had she been allowed to continue.

Yeah, I know you don't have any respect for law enforcement and you're probably not courageous enough to be a law enforcement officer. But, that doesn't apply to all of us here.

 

Respect authority. Do what you are told and no lives are threatened and none taken. Why is that such a difficult concept in 2026? My kids fail to follow instructions they had better fear that I may take their lives!

 

Yes and no. I love the people in Iran who are not obeying the Regime's thugs (police)
Police formations have been used by Dictators to terrorize their populations. Look, Iran the so called "Morality police" murdered a girl for not wearing her hijab properly. They fired on protesters last night in Tehran. Putin's thugs FSB arrest and imprison people for questioning the failed SMO. The Boleshivist CHEKA/ OGPU, NKVD/ KGB murdered tens of millions, so called "enemies of the state'. Authority figures can be evil. Even in the USA, there have been many cases of brutality, lynchings, wrongfull shootings.
And I am a "law and order" guy. I think laws, courts here in Canada are way too lenient. Love Dirty Harry movies.

 

Many of these "protesters" are actually paid agitators while many are just unhinged lunatics like the one who died because of her own stupid actions.

Crowd-for-hire boss rejects Minneapolis unrest as illegal chaos

Adam Swart of Crowds on Demand says anti-ICE chaos crossed into illegal territory following fatal shooting

January 10, 2026

As anti-ICE agitators disrupt streets across Minneapolis, the CEO of a national protest-organizing firm says the demonstrations have crossed into illegal territory, prompting his company to stay away entirely.

Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on Demand, told Fox News Digital his firm "would not touch the Minneapolis protests with a 10-foot pole," citing blocked roadways, obstruction of federal agents and threats against authorities after a fatal shooting during an ICE enforcement operation.

"Blocking roadways, obstructing federal agents and threatening authorities are illegal, and we don’t engage in any form of illegal protest," Swart said, warning the chaos playing out on city streets will have the opposite effect demonstrators claim to want. "The impact of these protests will actually be to increase ICE operations, not decrease them."

Swart said mixing peaceful protesters with agitators creates serious risks on multiple fronts.

"A lot of the people protesting on the streets are actually violent," he said. "They are unhinged, unstable people who pose a risk to peaceful protesters. That’s why we’re staying out."

Swart rejected claims that blocking roads or confronting officers amounts to "nonviolent resistance," calling those actions inherently dangerous, particularly during active law enforcement operations.

"When you block the ability of federal agents to get in and out of a scene, you are putting them at risk from a violent mob," he said. "That ability to enter and exit safely is fundamental to law enforcement."

He added that winter conditions only compound the danger.

"The roads are icy and snowy," Swart said. "You’re creating barriers that put vehicles at risk, and you’re also putting yourself and other protesters at risk."

Beyond law enforcement concerns, Swart warned that road blockages endanger the broader community.

"Who else can’t get through when roads are blocked? Ambulances. Fire trucks," he said. "Emergency services have nothing to do with politics, and you’re making it impossible for them to do their jobs."

Swart said such tactics undermine protesters’ stated goals and strip their message of credibility.

"When protesters commit illegal activity, what’s lost is the substance of the message," he said. "People don’t hear what you’re protesting. They just see the blocked street."

Here's a new video of the woman in her SUV before the confrontation. It shows her blocking the road, obstructing ICE agents and causing a major disturbance.

Honestly, I don't understand why the anti-ICE idiots are trying to block ICE in the first place. Don't they want murderers and child rapists out of their cities? Obviously not.

These morons are stupid and ignorant. Perhaps they may even be in collusion with some of these violent murderers and child rapists. Minnesota, it seems, has become a cesspool of crime, fraud and lunacy.

ICE arrests in Minnesota surge include numerous convicted child rapists, killers

Criminal illegal immigrants had deportation orders dating back decades

January 10, 2026

FIRST ON FOX: ICE officials on Saturday released a shocking list of the "worst of the worst" criminal illegal immigrants arrested during their recent surge in the sanctuary state of Minnesota, including child rapists and nearly a dozen killers.

ICE told Fox News the criminal illegal immigrants were roaming freely in Minnesota prior to their recent arrests, and they are the type of people Democratic politicians and activists are referring to as their "neighbors" as they attempt to interfere with ICE.

"Regardless of staged political theatrics, ICE is going to continue to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota and elsewhere," ICE Director Todd M. Lyons wrote in a statement. "Some of these criminal aliens have had final orders of removal for 30 years, but they’ve been free to terrorize Minnesotans."

"ICE’s arrests prevent recidivism and make communities safer, but it feels like local politicians want to ignore that part and drum up discontent rather than protect their own constituents," he added.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted to the arrests on X Saturday, calling the convicts "sick people."

"This is why we have ICE Agents," Leavitt wrote in the post. "May God Bless them for their thankless work to protect American communities from these sick people."
