Who Was Renee Nicole Good? Minneapolis Mom Killed by ICE Agent Identified as Anti-ICE “Warrior”
the staff of the Ridgewood blog
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — New details are emerging about Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis mother who was fatally shot by a federal agent on Wednesday. Investigators and local sources have revealed that Good was a prominent activist within a local movement dedicated to “documenting and resisting” federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota.
The shooting occurred after Good reportedly veered her vehicle toward an ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agent, prompting the officer to open fire. While federal officials defend the shooting as a justified response to a life-threatening situation, local activists are mourning a woman they describe as a “warrior” for social justice.
Roots in Activism: The Southside Family Charter School Connection
Good, who moved to Minneapolis last year, reportedly built her network of fellow activists through her 6-year-old son’s school, Southside Family Charter School.
The K-5 academy, founded in 1972, is known for its “unabashedly dedicated” focus on social justice. Sources close to the community suggest the school’s environment of political engagement served as a bridge for Good to join more radical groups like “ICE Watch.”
“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a fellow parent named Leesa told reporters at a vigil. “[Renee] was trained against these ICE agents—what to do, what not to do. It’s a very thorough training.”
What is “ICE Watch”?
Through her school connections, Good became an active participant in a loose coalition of activists known as ICE Watch Minneapolis. These groups operate in sanctuary cities across the U.S. with the following goals:
-
Surveillance: Using phone apps, whistles, and horns to alert neighborhoods when federal agents arrive.
-
Disruption: Implementing “hazing” tactics to prevent ICE raids from being completed.
-
Confrontation: While many tactics are non-violent, federal reports have noted increasing instances of activists using vehicles to block or confront agents.
Political Fallout: JD Vance and the Federal Response
The incident has quickly escalated into a national political flashpoint. Vice President JD Vance addressed the shooting, stating he is “certain” that Good violated the law and that the agent’s actions were justified.
The ICE agent involved, whose name has not been released, was reportedly hospitalized. Sources indicate the same agent had been dragged by a vehicle during a separate encounter with an illegal migrant driver last year, highlighting the rising tensions and physical dangers surrounding immigration enforcement in the region.
A Community Divided
At the scene of the shooting, a growing vigil marks the spot where Good died. Her wife, Rebecca, 40, was reportedly present during the aftermath, emotionally claiming responsibility for the tragic turn of events.
As the investigation continues, the Minneapolis community remains divided between those who see Good as a victim of federal overreach and those who view the incident as a direct consequence of dangerous, high-stakes activism.

Very sad and unfortunate, but a classic FAFO moment.
She was an American citizen, in her car with her dog, friendly demeanor toward her executor in the moment before he shot her. He is a cowardly masked thug who filmed himself in the act of committing murder, which as we saw from his recording released today, was also a hate crime. Which one represents your values?
You are an absolute fu&$ing idiot.
You are a big part of the problem
No way she was defiant defending the apprehension of a illegal, who had committed crimes against women. What the heck is going on here??
Now post a picture of “wife”.
Oh boy..get ready for more yard signs.
another KAREN bites the dust
What stupid comments. Nothing new.
you mean like yours?
These politicians in Minnesota are complicit in the abuse of our asylum laws and protected status as well as abuse of our tax revenue perpetuated by Biden and Mayorkas. If they had obeyed immigration laws and done border security AT the border and not let in 15 million unvetted illegals, then Ice wouldn’t be in sanctuary cities picking up illegal criminals who commit heinous crime(look on DHS.gov). They created the s-hole, it’s now being rectified. Make no mistake these activists on the streets obstruct, defame, and act like idiots are insurrectionist fighting against federal authorities. Activists take risks and unfortunately this resulted in the loss of her life
When you abuse asylum laws and tax revenue and let in 15 million unvetted illegals who flock to sanctuary cities and state you have amount them criminals. Democrats created the problem, Ice is tasked with deporting the criminals for the safety of Americans. These activists who obstruct, defame and fight back are insurrectionists.
I have freedom of speech post my comment
long time reader here sometimes the blog to slow to post comments , fear not they will get posted
The Ridgewood blog censures posts….
The last administration abused are asylum and protected status laws and our taxes letting in 15 million UNVETTED illegals. Amongst them were criminals. If they had done border security at the border then Ice wouldn’t be in sanctuary cities and states to keep Americans safe. Sanctuary cities could cooperate with Ice handing off criminals at the jails but they refuse. The result activist who obstruct, defame are insurrectionists as they fight federal authorities. It appears this woman was an activist.
in all seriousness , while the last admin was a joke, illegals have been boarder jumping for a long time
Not in the way they have under Biden. He gave us no DNA testing for children to make sure they were with family not being trafficked then if that wasn’t insane enough he next gave us catch and release assuring it would be next to impossible to remove the unwanted and unnecessary additions to sanctuary cities meant to bolster democrat election hopes and giving their corporate donors the low cost laborers they donated to obtain. This whole thing in my opinion is unfortunate but as long as people are paid to and voluntarily attacking federal agents while they are performing their jobs im thinking we may want to get used to these results. Hopefully the democrat party and crowdsource will come out and say the right things and instead of compounding the problem they will act like leaders that care about their constiuents and maybe explain to them that when you lose you can’t be a bunch of babies and revolt in the streets when the winning party goes out and fulfills their campaign promises.
While that maybe true, that last administration let in massive amounts while telling us it’s something that can’t be controlled and had been going on for years. Liars. Trump showed that border control was pretty easy. And it wasn’t just migrants from Mexico and Central America. Word spread and they came from all parts of the world. Fentanyl became easily smuggled in during this chaos. Don’t give me the crap about migrants being needed to pick our fruit, Democrats.
They used her to get what they wanted: A martyr.
Deport all white liberal women
You must do really well with the NJ ladies with that approach.
no thanks , on these liberal crazy women
People need to start caring about our US citizens and our Betersns instead of illegals that don’t like us or our country anyway. We welcome all rookie that want to come here legally and want to be an American citizen
there is no scenario or political context that justifies the murder of this woman. Her politics are not relevant. the clown who shot her is a murderer.
stop watching msnbc, she was a domestic terrorist , you fight with law enforcement you are asking for trouble
I thought Trump was going to arrest all big mouth fat chicks?
Y’all keep playing into the left vs right paradigm.
No ones coming to save us on either side
Wake up
America first . Go max
Malcolm X defined white liberals not simply as ideologically left-leaning whites but as actors who wanted to manage or moderate racial change while preserving existing hierarchies. He accused them of treating Black people as pawns in their own struggle for status, offering symbolic support that stopped short of structural change and political empowerment. This characterization appears consistently across speech transcripts and secondary summaries that examine his 1964 arguments: the critique was strategic, aimed at exposing those who would ally rhetorically but resist demands for Black political independence or economic control
that the white liberal is “the worst enemy to America and the worst enemy to the Black man.”
Renee Nicole Good was a dedicated ‘warrior’ for the Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch’ movement who specifically trained to resist federal agents before she was killed while veering her car toward them.
These “warriors” don’t seem to realize that they are being used, just like the Tesla protestors and the “No Kings” protesters.
And any time I see the word “grassroots” in conjunction with a “protest,” I know that the only green is in the bills being paid to the protesters.
