“Renee Nicole Good was Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch’ ‘warrior’ who trained to resist feds before shooting”SNIP
“MINNEAPOLIS — Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.
Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.
“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.
Good and her wife Rebecca, 40, were raising the boy together in the mostly working-class, activist-heavy neighborhood of south Minneapolis, which features tree-lined streets and a large number of homes with windows decked out in LGBTQ+ flags or signs depicting George Floyd.”
SNIP
“ICE Watch recently shared an Instagram post of the group’s which encouraged agitators to bring items that would help them barricade the streets around where the shooting took place, even urging people to bring things to burn, such as dried-up Christmas trees.
This call for aggressive and even violent resistance comes as ICE agents have faced an unprecedented spike in car attacks, surging by some 3,200% over the last year, shocking data released by the Department of Homeland Security revealed to The Post.”
https://nypost.com/2026/01/08/us-news/renee-nicole...Yep, she was a political activist who trained and planned for moments such as this.
She wasn’t just a mother, a wife, and wrote poetry for a living. She was a hard-core activist with ties to extremists who stalked ICE agents.

3,200%!!! Oh my God!!!
Aside from the fact that the percentage is self-reported by the Department of Homeland Security and not independently verified, in numbers, again self-reported by the Department of Homeland Security, that is an increase in vehicular attacks over the past year from 2 attacks to 66 attacks in the prior period.
For additional perspective, there are over 20,000 ICE employees.
66 attacks of a population of 20,000 ICE employees is .003%.
But 3,200% sounds better, I guess.

Her ex-husband, who asked not to be named out of concern for the safety of their children, told the Associated Press that Good had just dropped off her youngest son at school on Wednesday and was driving home with her partner when they encountered a group of ICE agents on a snowy street.
He said she was not an activist, and had not taken part in any kind of protest that he was aware of. He said she was a devoted Christian who took part in youth mission trips to Northern Ireland when she was younger.
She certainly seemed to live the core Christian commandment: "Love thy neighbor as thyself."
She had a glove compartment filled with stuffed animals for her six-year-old child, standard equipment of trained terrorists.

Still absolutely no explanation for why she deliberately tried to flee from law enforcement and failed to heed their instructions to stop and exit her vehicle.
The fact that her partner was in the car with her, prior to the shooting, yet was not in the car when the shooting occurred, seems to suggest that the partner complied with ICE directives to exit the vehicle.

Failing to leave the car is probably not a crime, either (most states have a "failure to comply with a lawful order statute, but Minnesota's is rather narrowly drafted and wouldn't cover this situation).
That would leave forcible interference with a federal officer under 18 USC 111, which applies to a person who:

Just like it doesn't matter if you're pulled over by a cop for a traffic infraction and asked to exit your vehicle, but it later turns out the cop made a mistake so the traffic violation is thrown out by the court.
Motorists have to obey the directions of the law enforcement officer. Period.

Not a crime, not a crime, not a crime, and some of the ICE officers instructed her to move her car.
Dope1: She committed 3 crimes before she hit Ross with the car.
Zero crimes, and she did not "hit Ross with the car." That's been clearly established by several independent news organizations.
Over the last year, public opinion has shifted meaningfully against Pedo Don’s immigration and deportation policies, and against ICE. 42% of U.S. adults now support abolishing ICE entirely. That compares to 21% on Election Day 2024.
As ICE officials become more violent, more deadly, and more unhinged, that percentage will rise.
We're at a turning point.

Well technically she did not commit a crime since she's dead and you can't convict a dead person of a crime.

I mean, not necessarily. Unless she had previously committed a crime, as far as I can tell she was under no obligation to follow the instructions to exit the vehicle (not legal advice! and definitely not advice on how to be safe!). Unless she was placed under arrest or otherwise detained, she was perfectly free to leave the scene.
Assault requires intent, and it would be quite surprising if she actually intended to hit the officer rather than just trying to leave.
Again, all of the above is completely speculative - we won't know more until there's actually an investigation and review. Based on what we know. It's also rather beside the point. LEO's aren't allowed to use deadly force to stop a suspect from leaving the scene, much less for failing to follow instructions. I think the officer's real risk would be if he wasn't at risk of being hit with the car when he fired the fatal shot, and that's going to be a ballistics and forensics question based on a lot of information (including all the videos). If he was in the path of the car at the time, he's probably would not have any culpability. If he used deadly force after he was out of the path of the car, he's in more jeopardy. I don't think we know that critical fact yet - but it should be pretty determinable by experts from the ballistics and the video evidence.

LEO's can use deadly force if they believe their lives are in danger -or- if a felony is being performed on them. Hitting someone with a car certainly qualifies.
This shooting will be investigated and there's maybe a 1% chance anything gets filed no matter how hard Ellison tries to warp it Minnesota's deadly force statutes are pretty clear.

It doesn't matter, AT ALL, if Ms. Good "deliberately ran over" the LEO or not,or tried to, because she's not on trial for a crime. You can't try a dead person for a crime, and in order to mount a credible defense if HE is criminally charged, the LEO doesn't have to prove Ms. Good's intentions "beyond a reasonable doubt"--as a prosecutor would have to do if Ms. Good had survived the shooting and was being criminally charged with vehicular assault and/or battery.
The issue is whether or not it was reasonable for the officer to have concluded in an emergency situation with very little time to choose a course of action, under all the facts and circumstances, that Ms. Good and her vehicle posed a threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or another person.
Ms. Good was clearly at a minimum--at least if all reasonable inferences are drawn most favorably to the "defendant" Ross, and the standard of convicting him of a crime is proof beyond a reasonable doubt--driving in a reckless manner or at least in a negligent manner.
Anyone who has ever taken driver's ed knows if a law enforcement officer is standing either immediately in front of your vehicle or close enough to potentially be endangered depending upon what you do as the driver of the vehicle, and the officer orders you to stop and exit the vehicle, you have a duty to stop and exit the vehicle. And you certainly assume the risk that if you continue driving, the officer is injured either by being directly impacted by your vehicle or by having to jump out of the way of it (assuming he's a mind reader and knows which way to jump in the first place).
We don't even know if this woman had a valid license, do we.

That's why I say I never saw a reason for him to draw the weapon. You have to have a reason to draw that weapon, I never saw one. If the fellow walking over to the car didn't have a reason to draw his weapon, what was the shooter's reason? If he felt in danger, why was he stopping partly in front of the car? Given a choice If I feel in danger I would stop at the side of the car. So I come to the conclusion he never felt in danger by his own actions, and he didn't draw the weapon because he felt in danger. She presented no threat. She acted more like Aunt Bee from Mayberry than a trained terrorist. Looking at his actions I would take him out of dealing with people as a peace officer forever. Regardless of he outcome, he hasn't got the temperament to deal with people.
Qualified immunity will likely get him off though. It's a shame he drew his gun.

I was puzzled when in the original video we heard a bystander yell "no" for no apparent reason. In the condemning video Vance released, we see that is the moment the agent transferred his cell phone from his right hand to the left, and drew his gun. At this point, the car was stationary.

Sano like Steve,
Is yet another progressive who either doesn't drive at all; drives minimally and infrequently; and generally is a terrible driver with no real world knowledge of the laws of physics or how vehicles behave.
If a vehicle's front wheels are canted to the left; the driver accelerates forward, and while accelerating forward, the driver cranks the steering wheel to the right, then the way the vehicle actually moves is in a rotational fashion around the axis of the vehicle's turning radius.
The front right side of the vehicle will begin to turn away from a person standing in front of the vehicle. The front left/side of the vehicle will turn INTO a person standing in front of the vehicle.
Depending on exactly where the person is standing, how the driver is driving, handling characteristics of the vehicle, traction of the tires, road surface conditions, and other relevant variables, the left SIDE of the vehicle and the left rear of the vehicle may also be capable of hitting the pedestrian or coming dangerously close.

Unless they find a treasure trove of hate stuff on the internet, I'd just see if a case could be built for normal crimes or malfeasance. He violated his training protocols, there was no reason to draw the weapon, no reason to flop partly in front of the SUV,etc. All of the actions could be normal bad judgement. Can they prove a crime happened? The state needs evidence and they're locked out, so getting to beyond a reasonable doubt is more difficult and federal qualified immunity stops the civil suits.
