US EditionWas Minneapolis ICE Agent Hit By Renee Good’s Car Or Not? Videos Raise Fresh Doubts
Renee Good’s extrajudicial killing by a federal officer under NSPM-7 highlights expanded federal authority and risks institutional impunity for targeting community responders, advocates say.
- On January 7, 2026, ICE agent Jonathan Ross approached Renee Nicole Good's vehicle at 9:35 a.m. and fatally shot her within two minutes, firing three rounds as the SUV moved in Minneapolis.
- NSPM–7, issued in September 2025, positions itself as the most sweeping reconsolidation of the national security 'war on terror' since 9/11, operationalized by DOJ, FBI, and Joint Terrorism Task Forces, with Attorney General Pam Bondi ordering full implementation within 14 days in December 2025.
- 'Get out of the car,' he told Good, while Good's wife said, 'Drive, baby, drive,' reflecting their role as volunteers, and DHS guidance on de-escalation appears not to have been followed.
- Advocates call the killing the first public extrajudicial death of a volunteer monitoring ICE, while Kristi Noem, President Donald Trump, and Vice President J.D. Vance described the shots as self-defense amid rising violent encounters nationwide.
- Critics warn these tools could subject bail funds, legal defense projects, mutual aid networks and donors to surveillance and financial scrutiny, chilling everyday resistance even as ICE enforcement reached a deadly peak in 2025.

His vow to take over Greenland "one way or another." A patently sham investigat…
Walz won't tell the truth, so he turns up the heat
Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) appealed to President Donald Trump to turn the temperature down on Thursday, as thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers find and deport illegal immigrants in his state. But until Walz and his fellow Democrats admit the truth about the game they are playing with federal law enforcement, the “chaos” Walz pretends not to want will continue. In a longer speech Wednesday night, Walz did nothing but turn the heat…
