Thousands protest nationwide after fatal ICE shooting

Thousands of demonstrators gathered across the United States on Saturday to protest the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, marking one of the largest coordinated responses to federal immigration enforcement in recent years.

The nationwide "ICE Out for Good" demonstrations, organized in more than 1,000 protests across the country, including Washington, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Seattle, demanded accountability for the January 7 killing in Minneapolis. Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross during a confrontation in south Minneapolis.

In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the protests, thousands marched from Powderhorn Park through south Minneapolis, chanting Good's name and carrying signs reading "ICE will melt" and "De-ICE Minnesota". The procession, which extended for an entire block at its peak, moved toward 34th Street and Portland Avenue, where a memorial has been erected at the shooting site.

According to CNN, footage shows Good's vehicle turning away from officers when Ross fired three shots. The ICE agent, an Iraq War veteran who has served in federal law enforcement since 2007, was previously injured in June when dragged by a vehicle during an arrest attempt.

No matter which video, it seems we see what we want to see. No surprise there, and as someone else notes, if it ever gets to trial I pity the jurors who have to try and make sense out of the competing views of the prosecutors and defense attorneys.

What I see, is a woman who admittedly was an independent observer monitoring ICE actions (which is a legal free speech activity) or verbally harassing ICE officers, told to move on, trying to pull out of her parallel parking space into oncoming traffic, then partially blocked by an ICE pick-up with additional masked ICE officers assaulting her vehicle, and panicking, hitting the gas and trying to avoid the initial officer who made the mistake of moving in front of her vehicle, but had stepped aside to fire directly into the windshield.

MY question is: if she hit him moving forward, how did he fire through her windshield rather than being splattered across the hood?

She aimed her vehicle toward a Federal Officer and hit him with the vehicle. The world lost nothing. Prayers for the Officer’s speedy recovery.

@Mudkip so it was ok for the agent to fire 2 rounds in through the drivers window or did you miss that part? How does a bullet weighing the same as a few quarters atop a 3000 pound car anyway?

@Mudkip There was no threat, there was nobody else in front of the vehicle and the shooter was at the left front corner of the vehicle and had to literally lean over the hood to make sure his first shot went through the windshield and there is a good chance that first shot missed her. The second and third shots went through the drivers window from the side, how did those shots protect him or anyone else. You need to watch the video again, https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/10/us/ice-shooting-minneapolis-renee-good

@Mudkip so much wrong with what you’ve said. ICE aren’t police. They don’t get involved in traffic violations. They have very very limited powers related to immigration, and hardly any power to stop US citizens.

To be 100% clear, that weak-minded ICE officer who executed Renee violated all DOJ guidance.

He was not authorised to use deadly force on a fleeing suspect.

DOJ guidance says to evade vehicles, not to resort immediately to deadly force.

It’s cut and dry. He violated DOJ guidance to execute a US citizen who wasn’t even suspected of a crime.

It is encouraging for awhile to see people protest but until those thousands start actively disrupting the regime they will just wait for everyone to go home and back to business as usual. Rinse and repeat.

It is why during Bush Jr.'s reign 1 million people could protest and nothing changed.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow i keep hoping with each line crossed people wake the F up. But the way it stands right now it doesn’t matter if people die. Hard to make change against those with guns and power unless you can convince some of those with guns and power to assist you. Minnesota can charge Ross with murder, but the minute they do the DOJ will appeal the case to federal court and the just dismiss it. I don’t think change can happen until it affects rich white people in their pocketbooks.

@trollslayer Look around at other countries. You don't need to start a civil war.

In Poland for example when their government tried to take away the bodily autonomy of women they literally shut down the capital. You don't protest politely with a permit in a park where you have zero impact. You shut down every traffic chokepoint in the entire capital city and bring it to a complete stop.

Americans have done it too in my life time. The Battle for Seattle. That worked because they completely shut down the entire city of Seattle in 1999.

They put the government in a position where they would have to murder thousands in the street or change their position.

I don’t trust that we will ever see the autopsy.

Subsumedpat · 41-45, M

@trollslayer Gonna be a big fight over evidence between the Feds and the State.

Sadly they have no way to change their government, politics is a taboo!

@trollslayer Indeed. I am reminded of the folk hero murderer (in my opinion) Blubbering Rittenhouse, but of course Good was murdered with the full faith and credit of the United States federal government.

trollslayer · 46-50, M

@Fukfacewillie Idk, if it was me I’d be haunted, even if I felt justified in my actions.

Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M

@trollslayer Yeah, but you’re a human being. I’m sure he got a lot of high-fives from the other animal thugs.
