Renee Nicole Good’s wife was antagonizing ICE agents and even urged her to “drive baby, drive” just moments before the fatal shooting in Minneapolis, according to shocking new video taken on the agent’s own cell phone.
The video — filmed by agent Jonathan Ross on Wednesday and obtained by Alpha News — shows the heated interaction between the Goods in the lead-up to the shooting.
Renee can be seen behind the driver’s seat of the plum-colored Honda Pilot, while her wife, Rebecca, stands in the street next to the car. A dog is also sitting in the back seat, peering out an open window.
Yes, I'm back writing, and just in time for a bomb to go off in the middle of the controversy surrounding an ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis. New cellphone footage taken by the officer who fired the shots provides the best look yet at what happened, and it counters much of the narrative spreading in the mainstream press and on the broader left that this was an unjustified "murder."
As RedState reported, a woman was shot and killed after she drove her SUV into the middle of the agents in an attempt to impede an immigration raid. After ignoring orders for three minutes, she was commanded to stop.
You all, this Minneapolis story just keeps getting crazier and crazier.
As RedState's Bonchie (yes, he's back!) reported Friday afternoon, a blockbuster new video has emerged showing the view of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent involved in the Wednesday shooting death of Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis resident who's been revealed to have been a rabid leftist activist and meddler.
The video is both a jaw-dropper and a game-changer. Despite attempts by the left to portray Good as a mom who had just dropped her child off at school when she unwittingly became caught in the snares of an ICE operation – Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA)
The former brother-in-law of a mother shot dead by an ICE agent during immigration operations in Minneapolis has argued she 'should have minded her own business'.
Renee Nicole Good, 37, was fatally shot in the head while inside her SUV on Wednesday, sparking mass protests in the streets and outrage from Minnesota lawmakers.
President Donald Trump and the Department of Homeland Security have defended the agent at the center of the violence, arguing he feared for his life because Good appeared to be accelerating her car in his direction.
Now, Good's former brother-in-law Joseph Macklin has weighed in on the tragedy, telling the Daily Mail on Wednesday night
Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) will give students the option of learning from home through February 12 following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, according to local media citing the president of a teachers union. The school district, which has an enrolment of about 29,000 students, had previously said there would be no classes for the rest of the week “due to safety concerns” after Wednesday’s shooting. According to Fox 9, Marcia Howard, the president of the Minneapolis Federation of Educators (MFE), wrote on Facebook that students will be given the option to learn from home
UPDATE, 2 p.m. Eastern: The Department of Homeland Security has attested that the footage is real.
Original story:
The cellphone footage multiple outlets posted on X shows the near-deadly assault on a federal immigration officer that caused him to shoot his assailant in self-defense, with the video being from the officer’s point of view.
Alpha News and Townhall published what is apparently cellphone footage showing up close and personal how Renee Nicole Good, a terroristic leftist activist radicalized by other rioters, deliberately rammed her car straight into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer standing in front of the vehicle as he told her to get out of the car.

The North America halal food market, encompassing the United States and Canada, was valued at USD 100.11 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 226 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.47% from 2025 to 2033.
This growth reflects a shift from niche demand to mainstream integration, influenced by immigration, higher birth rates among Muslim communities, and marketing that emphasizes health and humane aspects.
The global halal food market was valued at approximately USD 2.5 trillion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 6 trillion by 2034 at a CAGR of 9.1%.
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,
Recall Mamdani
replies
Zohran Mamdani has been New York City’s mayor for hardly a week, and his term is already a stew of antisemitism, pro-terrorism, Marxism and discrimination. Voters made a horrifying mistake they can’t correct themselves. But they can band together in a fully justified effort to drive him from office in line with state law.
Before Mamdani was elected in November, it was obvious that he was the last person who should hold the job. It was widely know that he wanted to seize the means of production, that his clearly implied wish as an Islamist is to globalize the intifada
The hospital lobby has shown its cards. In December, the American Hospital Association and several safety-net systems filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in an effort to block a one-year pilot program created by the Health Resources and Services Administration to test reforms to the 340B drug discount program. They are not afraid that the pilot will fail. They are terrified that it will succeed and expose how much they rake in from a program that was supposed to serve vulnerable patients.
A whistleblower from within the Swedish Migration Agency has claimed that the majority of staff deciding who is allowed into the country are foreign and that clan-like networks have developed, in which ethnic and religious compatriots are given special consideration.
In an interview with the Swedish news outlet Samnytt, a source within the country’s Migration Agency, which has the power to determine who is granted asylum, residency, work permits, and citizenship, has claimed that the federal agency has seen a drastic overhaul since the 2015 Europe Migrant Crisis. The whistleblower said that not only did the Migration Agency’s culture see significant changes, in which “values” of multiculturalism were prioritised,
Tom Pappert, lead reporter at The Tennessee Star, said that the Tennessee Democratic Party’s expletive-laden social media post attacking U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is not an isolated outburst, but part of a broader political narrative that encourages resistance to federal immigration enforcement.
On Wednesday, hours after 37-year old Renee Nicole Good struck an ICE agent with her car in Minneapolis and was fatally shot while trying to flee arrest, the Tennessee Democratic Party posted on social media, “ICE shot and killed a woman today. Plain and simple, no matter how Trump & Republicans try to spin it.”
Opponents of affirmative action hoped that the Supreme Court had delivered a death blow to the controversial policy in 2023 when Chief Justice John Roberts declared for the court’s majority that “Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it.”
But as sweeping as that pronouncement was, it came in a ruling in the landmark SFFA v. Harvard case, solely barring the use of racial preferences in college admissions. The practices that the court deemed illegal on campus have persisted elsewhere, including in programs across the federal government.

Jeremy Christenson, a former Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent, joined Liz Collin on her podcast and explained how cases of cash smuggling and fraudulent daycare centers were ignored by prosecutors. (snip) Christenson said many of the cases he investigated "went away into thin air." (snip) Christenson told Collin that "around 2015, a [daycare] case landed on my desk (snip.) They were setting up sham daycares, fake bills, fake students, just enrolling students who never came" (snip.) But what happened next has bothered Christenson ever since. He said the investigative task force "all of a sudden, it just evaporated -- just went away into thin air."
Nationwide protests have swept Iran for 12 days now and analysts agree that this movement is fundamentally different than previous cost-of-living or women’s rights-driven protests. According to the latest reporting, over 111 cities in Iran are rising up against the brutal Islamic regime of Ayatollah Khamenei after 47 years of oppression under the Islamic Republic and the regime has responded by declaring war on the people. According to multiple outlets and my own on-the-ground sources,
White House officials have weighed possibly giving lump sum payments to Greenlanders in an attempt to sway them into seceding from Denmark, as the Trump administration brings back its calls to have Greenland join the U.S., Reuters reported.
Government officials, including White House aides, have discussed different figures, from $10,000 to $100,000 per personOne source said internal discussions have become more serious after U.S. strikes on Venezuela ended with the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Over the summer, a young DOGE staffer was viciously attacked by two D.C.-area teens. The perpetrators went before the D.C. Superior Court and were given probation and sent home. This is par for the course in the District of Columbia courts, which are a perennial mess. They’re a mess in large part due to far-left judges who are selected through a system that disempowers the president who appoints them. While this is a serious problem, there are some ways around it.
If you thought Democrats’ health care wish list consisted solely of continuing enhanced Covid-era Obamacare subsidies, think again. Over the holidays, Politico had a helpful reminder that midterm election campaigns are showing how the dreams of government intervention in the health care system go far deeper:
A few days later, failed presidential candidate Tom Steyer claimed a Damascene conversion on single-payer as part of his campaign for California governor: “Bernie Sanders was right. We need single-payer health care. … In 2019, I didn’t think we needed single-payer health care.”

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,
A hotel employee who llegally endangered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers quickly had to face the consequences.
A Marriott hotel’s management didn’t want the same PR nightmare Hilton Hotels had this week when one of its affiliated hotels canceled ICE reservations and lied about restoring them. An independently owned Marriott hotel — Residence Inn — in Bloomington tracked down the identity of their employee who was doxxing ICE officers on Reddit for the purpose of helping activists find them.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is leading the charge to focus on Minneapolis, Minnesota Somali fraud rings for targeted regional actions. The IRS Criminal Investigations division has been dispatched to focus on the Minneapolis region to identify fraudulent use of public assistance services, combined with the abuse of federal taxpayer funds.
These fraud cases,(snip) involve allegations of misappropriating hundreds of millions (potentially up to several billions) in taxpayer funds intended for child nutrition, autism therapy, housing stabilization, personal care assistance, and other Medicaid programs.
In a remarkable approach, Secretary Bessent announced during a Fox News interview that a regional targeting effort is now underway that will block anyone who receives
This interview was wild. I can’t believe how the reporter kept a straight face through it all, but here we are. There are many videos that explain this point, but this one might be the clip that proves white liberal women are the worst.
You must wonder whether this person is even genuine, because it reads as satire. There’s no way people think like this, but behold, a protester in Minneapolis who doesn’t wish to cry over the recent death of Renee Nicole Gold, 37, who was shot and killed by ICE agents. Gold was a professional activist who had led convoys to disrupt immigration enforcement operations.
Julie Su was just appointed as Deputy Mayor of New York City for Economic Justice (snip.) Her new title is appropriate given her nefarious history as California Labor Secretary, presiding over mass unemployment welfare fraud. (snip) Under Su's leadership, more than $55 billion [in pandemic unemployment payments] was sent to prison inmates in California's county jails, and state and federal prisons, out of state, and even out of the country, while legitimate claimants were stiffed for months or received late payments.
Tim Walz threatens civil war
replies
This afternoon, Tim Walz called a press conference in which he threatened civil war. It was one of the most extraordinary performances by an American political leader since the Confederates seceded in 1861 (snip)We have never seen anything like it, not just in Minnesota but anywhere in America, since the Civil War: a governor threatening to call out the National Guard to forcibly resist federal authority and prevent the enforcement of our national laws. George Wallace didn’t do that. Ross Barnett didn’t do that. Walz can’t seriously think that the Minnesota National Guard can militarily resist federal authority.
