Renee Nicole Good

100,000 Demand ‘ICE Out Of Minnesota’ In Historic March

Minneapolis, MN - The Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC) led a historic march of 100,000 people through Minneapolis to honor the life of Renee Nicole Good and to demand ICE out of Minnesota. The gathering was not only a show of grief and anger, but a powerful declaration of collective resistance. On the morning of January 7, community member Renee Good was observing a raid and was murdered by an ICE agent. Good was known as a devoted mother and a neighbor who believed deeply in protecting her community.

Minnesota Calls For General Strike On January 23 To Drive ICE Out

The movement against ICE has continued to surge in Minneapolis and across the United States in the wake of the killing of Renee Good. On January 13, a coalition of faith leaders, union presidents, business owners, and community figures in Minneapolis called on “every worker in Minnesota to refuse to show up to work” and “every single Minnesotan to not spend a dime” on Friday, January 23, to demand an end to the “violence and horror” that ICE has unleashed on the community and the agency’s complete removal from the state.

Prosecutors Resign As DOJ Pressures Them To Investigate Widow

US Attorney Joe Thompson and five other prosecutors have reportedly quit the US Department of Justice (DOJ) following undue pressure to investigate Renee Good and those around her, including her grieving widow. Six federal prosecutors have quit the DOJ in a shared refusal to ignore political interference from the Trump administration. Reports suggest that an investigation was ordered into Renee Good and associations, with a clear intention to investigate Good’s widow instead of the ICE agents responsible for her murder. This comes after reports that Trump’s MAGA officials have resisted a civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent, instead choosing to limit the role of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.

Minnesota Should Charge ICE Agent With Murder

On Jan. 7, less than a mile from where George Floyd was murdered nearly six years ago, ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Good as she tried to drive away. Once again, video footage filmed by bystanders recorded a brutal murder by a member of law enforcement, engendering outrage around the country. Good was a 37-year-old mother of three and a U.S. citizen who was beloved by her family and her community. Multiple news outlets, including The New York Times, have analyzed the video recordings and concluded that Good’s vehicle was turning away from Ross when he began shooting her.

Minnesota Greets Trump’s ICE Surge With Demonstrations

Minneapolis, Minnesota — Tear gas filled the air outside the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis on January 9 as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers led two demonstrators away in handcuffs. For hours on Friday, caravans of ICE vehicles passed in front of the pop-up protests, carrying immigrants to be processed for deportation. Amid a mass influx of federal immigration agents to Minnesota, the Whipple building, normally a hub for the Department of Veterans Affairs, has become a staging ground for ICE operations. A group of approximately 20 federal immigration agents stood guard outside the building.

Before ICE Shooting, Immigration Agents Repeatedly Used Deadly Force

When an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday, it was not the first time that federal officers have killed civilians since the Trump administration launched its aggressive immigration enforcement campaign. Federal officers have fatally shot at least three other people in the last five months, according to news reports reviewed by The Marshall Project. In September, Silverio Villegas González, a father originally from Mexico who worked as a cook, was killed while reportedly trying to flee from officers in a Chicago suburb, WBEZ reported.

Movement Against ICE Grows In The United States

Protests against Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) are escalating across the United States. Mobilizations are calling for the arrest of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent identified as Renee Macklin Good’s killer, and the abolition of ICE altogether. Tens of thousands of people rallied in Minneapolis on Saturday, January 10, in the largest demonstration yet since Good’s killing. On Friday, January 9, hundreds of protesters descended on the Hilton hotel in Minneapolis where they believe ICE and federal agents are staying. Using everything from cymbals, noisemakers, and drums to pots and pans (and even fireworks), waves of noise reverberated for several blocks and continued through the entire night.

Minneapolis: 10,000-Plus Rally Demanding Justice For Renee Good

Minneapolis, MN – At about 10 a.m. on January 7, ICE agents swarmed Portland Avenue and 34th Street, preparing for an operation despite Minneapolis’ new stronger separation ordinance. An observer was sitting in her car when ICE agents swarmed her while yelling aggressively. One agent came to the front of her car with his gun, and shot her in the head through her windshield, killing her. The victim has been identified as Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother. Observers were on the scene and witnessed the murder and continued to stay as a massive amount of agents swarmed in.

Honoring The Many Responses To Renee Nicole Good’s Murder

I was leading the afternoon session in a room of Black clergy. I had been planning to announce happier news that our pressure on Avelo forced them out of the deportation business. But this breaking overshadowed it. I told them that an ICE observer in Minneapolis had been shot. They gasped. Somehow, the gasp was the first moment I realized we’re collectively holding a traumatic story. I didn’t have many details. I did not yet know her name: Renee Nicole Good. Or that she was a mother of a kid just about my daughter’s age. I didn’t know Renee’s mother’s description of her daughter as “loving, forgiving and affectionate.”
