New angle shows Good blocking the street and honking before the shooting.

So this is becoming pretty clear what happened. It's only my opinion and I'm not trying to be intentionally hateful or prejudiced either way. I have had a long relationship with law enforcement and value that.

It appears to me, she was coming home from taking her kid to school and saw a bunch of ICE agents on her street. I'm sure it pissed her off and well... she was clearly showing her ass. She was blowing the horn and a whistle and pissing the ICE agents off.

It's clear, they got fed up with her and that's when they designated her a terrorist. It's clear from all angles the ICE agent intended to teach her a lesson.

They rolled up on her. She got scared and panicked and then they shot her in the face 3 times as she tried to flee arrest.

She was not a terrorist. Truth. She was actually interfering with law enforcement and could have been arrested. Sorry, that's the reality.

However, if those were real police, the story would have been different. Real police knew they had her license plate, they could have just walked down the street and arrested her.

The problem was... ICE wasn't acting as law enforcement. They are going after "narco-terrorists" and that's not a civilian law enforcement mission. As Noem stated... they branded her a "terrorist" and when she did not comply, they ended her. He was pissed off at her when he shot her but he was given the freedom to kill her by Noem, and he took it.

Please understand, Any real law enforcement officer would have actually laughed at someone speeding away in thier own car. We would know exactly where they were and they had left the passenger behind. Clearly these were not the brightest terrorists on the planet. Goode was disturbing the peace and possibly impeding law enforcement... that may not stick in court but I'm certain a real police officer would have charged her with it. Also... evading arrest. When they showed up later to arrest her at her home.

What actually happened was criminal and an crime of passion. That man was just pissed off that those women were taunting him and he shot her 3 times in the face for it.

That's our America.

...we can clearly see her waving cars by, and those cars having the room to pass including ICE vehicles.

We can also see her attempt to get in that line of cars exiting before they approached her vehicle.

So much print in the op that diverts from the point, which is that there is no reason for her to have been shot for disobeying some arbitrary and it appears, conflicting, traffic direction.

She was observing in her vehicle, not obstructing anything ICE was doing.

Sorry, you are quite wrong. Interfering with whom, masked anonymous thugs, and what exactly were they doing? Certainly not "law enforcement." Law breaking is more like it.

"She tried to flee arrest. "

Arrested for what? Honking her horn?

You should check out the concept of "but for" causation. Because that's what you're arguing. And, regardless what you may claim about your conclusion, you are saying that the killing, which you claim to acknowledge as unjustified, would never had happened, had the victim not been, in your well-crafted words, "showing her ass."

30. Sure, she was engaging in peaceful civil disobedience
Sat Jan 10, 2026, 07:58 PM
15 hrs ago

And if you interfere with law enforcement, yes, you risk arrest. That's the purpose of civil disobedience. Half the time, the purpose of doing it is to get hauled away for being a nuisance. None of that means that somebody should be given an instant death sentence for parking their car halfway across a road.

Just prior to the shooting you can see her waving cars past. She's committing a traffic offense, but she's not impeding ICE. They could have just driven around her. The cop who shot her filmed the whole thing, and we've seen the video -- he lingers on her license plate, so yes, real law enforcement -- if they'd wanted to give her a ticket -- could have just gone to her house later.

She was given two conflicting orders: she was told to move her car, and she was told to get out of the car. More specifically, she was told to "Get out of the fucking car" by an officer who lunged at her and reached into her car to yank the door open. At that point she chose to obey the "move" command -- probably completely on instinct -- and ended up being immediately shot.

If they'd wanted to arrest her, real law enforcement would have simply ordered her out of the car. They would have done so in a forceful but calm manner. They had her plate, all they had to do was tell her to step out of the car, repeatedly, until she did it. If at that point she chose to bolt, then that's a crime. But they know who she is and they know where to find her -- they don't need to give chase.

Instead, one ICE agent told her to move her car, another one strode towards her screaming "Get out of the fucking car" and grabbing at her, then a third one put himself in a position to shoot her three times.

I know I basically just echoed what you just said. I agree that she was committing civil disobedience. But of course peaceful civil disobedience has a long and proud history in this country. It very much bothers me to see powerful people on the right, from the top of the U.S. government down to pundits on mainstream news shows, shrugging off the idea that if someone is committing "good trouble" then they should be prepared to die at the hands of "law enforcement."

And you also said that she "showed her ass" which is pretty insensitive, especially given that everyone is on edge at the moment.

But my point -- and this is the point I think you were trying to make -- is that it's okay to say that she was interfering. Peaceful civil disobedience is exactly what John Lewis called "good trouble." She had her car halfway across the road, which is a traffic offense. Meanwhile people were blowing whistles, they were filming and mouthing off to the cops. That's not illegal.

What is worrying to me is that folks are countering the right-wing's "She was asking for it!" talking point by reflexively suggesting that she wasn't doing anything. But she was doing something. So I think the correct response is, "In the course of committing a basic traffic offense, she was ordered to move her car while another officer tried to yank open her car door, and she chose to move. For that she was shot three times and killed." If we pretend that she wasn't engaging in "good trouble," I believe it might actually bolster the right-wing's talking point that civil disobedience is a death penalty offense.

Murder sometimes is born of Anger. It is always born of Malice, an intent of harm to the target.

This Malice is born of White Supremacy, a default state of mind that always starts from patriarchal bigotry and overlords any that would defend its targets. Your analysis centers the "noncompliance' to white supremacist patriarchy as the cause of her demise, rather than the general apology inherent in the male gaze for this steady state.

Fucking gross, dude.

Sat Jan 10, 2026, 08:12 PM

As an aside, I will suggest that it may not even have been a situation of civil disobedience. I do not know what events led up to her car being parked sideways blocking one lane of travel or how long it had been there. Maybe she turned to travel up the street, saw some action, started making a "K" turn, and then paused to record the action. I do not know if the eventual shooter ordered her to leave. All we know so far about their conversation was that she stated she was not "mad" at him. Maybe he told her to stay where she was so that he could walk around her car to video record it. We will have to wait until further facts are known.

90. Not sure I follow
Sat Jan 10, 2026, 10:56 PM
12 hrs ago

Edited to add: Reading back, I think I misunderstood your post. You were saying that they wouldn't be able to find her easily, since her car was registered in Missouri. I guess the question is, why would they bother looking for her anyway? These guys are Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They're not traffic cops. All they had to do was drive their cars around her and the situation was over. Why give her plate number to the local police so that they could go round to her house later and give her a ticket? It would be a waste of everyone's time.

Here's the rest of my original post, for the record:

She lived in Minnesota:

Good was active as a volunteer in a network of "neighborhood patrols" comprising hundreds of community members and organized by local activists to track, monitor and record ICE operations in Minneapolis, according to Michelle Gross, president of the Minnesota-based Community United Against Police Brutality and a paralegal for the National Lawyers Guild.

Gross, who told Reuters she had "first-hand" knowledge of Good's participation in the ICE-"observer" patrols, said "that's what she was doing" when she was confronted and shot by a federal agent.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/who-was-renee-nicole-good-woman-killed-by-us-immigration-agent-minneapolis-2026-01-08/

And she recently lived in Kansas City:

The Honda Pilot SUV that Good was in at the time of her killing had a Missouri license plate, with multiple sources later confirming the vehicle was registered to a Kansas City, Missouri, address.

Good was living in Kansas City as recently as 2023, according to a petition filed in Jackson County Circuit Court to change her last name.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/local/missouri/2026/01/08/renee-nicole-good-missouri/88082670007/

Even if she drove from Missouri to Minnesota that day (which she didn't), it doesn't matter. She was engaging in peaceful civil disobedience, committing at worst a minor traffic offense when ICE instigated the chain of events that led to her murder.

It's not illegal to drive from Missouri to Minneapolis to protest ICE, but the more people are talking about her activism as if simply being an activist is a crime, the more troubled I become. Protesting ICE is not a crime. Following ICE is not a crime. Yes, she committed a minor traffic offense. For that, she was killed, and the overwhelming attitude on the right seems to be that she deserved it because she was an activist.

91. There were posts stating the police could just go to her house and arrest her since they had her plate number
Sat Jan 10, 2026, 11:47 PM

The OP stated "However, if those were real police, the story would have been different. Real police knew they had her license plate, they could have just walked down the street and arrested her."


Your earlier post said "The cop who shot her filmed the whole thing, and we've seen the video -- he lingers on her license plate, so yes, real law enforcement -- if they'd wanted to give her a ticket -- could have just gone to her house later."


The Honda Pilot SUV that Good was in at the time of her killing had a Missouri license plate, with multiple sources later confirming the vehicle was registered to a Kansas City, Missouri, address.


My point was that they wouldn't know where she lived in order to later arrest or ticket her. Not justifying anything that happened.

56. Has ICE in the current crackdown ever "followed up" with an impeding arrest?
Sat Jan 10, 2026, 08:36 PM
14 hrs ago

I don't know that they have. They have surely dragged plenty of people out of cars and made other on-the-scene arrests for what they perceive to be impeding (nowadays they even scream out the statute as they do it or threaten it: 18 USC 111). But I have never heard of them coming to somebody's house later and claiming that they impeded.

The current ICE use of 18 USC 111 is to terrorize and attack protestors and documenters, period. Now, it is in fact a countermeasure, because protestors have been very effective in blocking ICE's driving paths and otherwise obstructing them. Thousands of ordinary people have engaged in this form of civil disobedience all over the country.

It's pretty clear that Miller has ordered ICE to be more aggressive against these protest tactics, and this shooting is the result. So I think you're absolutely wrong; this was not a case of "rage." This was an effect of the new policy: be extremely aggressive with car blockades, and shoot if you have to. I have no doubt that that is the order the came down from Miller that led to this homicide. This wasn't rage. It was cold blooded policy-driven murder.

50. ICE had no legal authority to tell a US citizen to get out of the vehicle and they are also not traffic cops
Sat Jan 10, 2026, 08:26 PM
14 hrs ago

This former officer’s statements made a lot of sense to me.

https://substack.com/@tomhoefling/note/c-197600374

"As a former officer, let me make something clear: ICE agents ARE NOT police officers, deputy sheriffs, or troopers. They are not local/state law enforcement. They are not federal criminal law enforcement. They have an INCREDIBLY limited scope of authority, and that scope of authority exists in detaining and arresting with probable cause and/or SIGNED WARRANTS those investigated and suspected of being in the US illegally.
"They cannot just pull anyone over for a traffic violation or because their car is in a place they don't want it. They have NO authority to pull people over for ANYTHING other than immigration enforcement- and even then that involves probable cause, such as a known vehicle of someone they have been tracking, or a warrant. On very rare occasions they have the legal authority to pull someone over if they are threatening the lives of others, but that was not happening in this case. They do not have the training nor the authority to pull ANYONE else over. They cannot arrest legal citizens. They cannot detain legal citizens without probable cause to believe they might not be legal. They have ZERO authority to be attempting to force entry into a vehicle- without even identifying themselves, without a warrant, without exigent circumstances such as a life being directly threatened- that is trying to drive down the street without probable cause in relation to IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.
This ENTIRE situation in Minnesota was outside of the scope of legal authority from the get go. None of it was done within the scope of authority of ICE. Every single behavior those agents made was procedurally incorrect, done without proper authority, and was based off of intimidation and the assumption that people do not understand the law and their rights in regards to interactions with ICE.
"On no planet should an officer, agent, or any human being ever step in front of a car in 'drive' that is actively trying to leave and use their body as a shield to prevent a person from LEGALLY LEAVING a situation in which they are not legally being detained. It takes maybe a week of any kind of actual law enforcement training to understand that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do you ever place yourself in front of a vehicle in 'drive.' That agent had every single opportunity to simply take two steps to the right and not be standing directly in front of a vehicle attempting to conduct their legal right to drive away.

The new video shows law enforcement in the street, while an SUV appears to be blocking one lane of the road.

People in the area can be heard honking and blowing whistles, and about halfway through the video, vehicles start driving down the road, with several going around the SUV.


You are assuming she was honking her horn, which may or may not be the case. Further, she blocked one lane for a time. Pehaps she had car trouble? I've also understood she took a wrong turn down a oneway and was attempting to turn around.

We don't know enough to understand the pretext of her murder. But we do know that she was murdered by a pissed off ICE agent, who had no business shooting her in the head three times.

88. Find myself wondering: how many people who say she was blocking traffic have ever driven on icy roads
Sat Jan 10, 2026, 10:51 PM
12 hrs ago

Even if there isn't a lot of other vehicles and commotion, icy roads are tricky and often require slow movement and frequently movement different from dry pavement driving.

Couple icy pavement with ICE-capades chaps shouting conflicting orders, school drop off line traffic, and people lawfully exercising their right of public protest and the stress on everybody was abnormal.

Then you throw in a hot head with a history of not being especially prudent around people who don't instantly obey and one gets a shit show. But the shooter is SUPPOSED to be a trained professional and that implies a temperament of being able to handle stress better than most. Obviously that was not the case here.

There have been mentions that Ross had been a LEO prior to going to ICE. Need to verify, but I read he was in Border Patrol. That is an agency known for some officers being, shall we say, sometimes foolishly vigorous and/or quick tempered in how they deal with people. Evidently getting in front of vehicles is not uncommon among officers in BP.

Disclosures:
Icy road driving experience: I lived for many years in Montana.

BP observation experience: I can see Mexico from my home now, and there is ample opportunity to observe, and read about BP behaviors. About half the people I know are brown and they have stories to tell.

And I know an immigration attorney who is very forthcoming with information born of his experience.

vehicle more or less perpendicular to her lane of travel. The other lane was completely open. They could have walked up and calmly told her she had to get her vehicle in line with the traffic. Instead they rushed her while screaming orders at her and trying to yank her from the vehicle. Only bad cops and goons handle a simple traffic stop this way.

Please stop repeating that bullshit. " She was actually interfering with law enforcement "

ICE has no law enforcement powers, other than enforcing JUDICIAL warrants related to immigration, and those warrants name specific people. ICE has no arrest powers for things that are not part of the warrants they are enforcing. They are not police. They cannot stop a person for a traffic violation, a parking violation, a bank robbery, a bicycle theft, a domestic dispute, a bar fight, a pickpocket, or anything else not specifically related to the judicial warrants they have in their hands. They have absolutely no enforcement power for any state or local laws. And they have no right to use force except in the case of enforcing a specific warrant.

"Law enforcement" officials have arrest powers for any local, state or federal law. Not ICE.

“She showed her right of civil disobedience,” instead of saying, “She showed her ass.” Civil disobedience means that a citizen is in disagreement with an act that they feel interferes with their rights, and is peacefully protesting that act. Showing her ass means that the woman is being crudely disrespectful and antagonistic. I don’t think anyone believes that that was what Ms. Good was doing.
