Minneapolis Radicals Begin Distributing Devices to Disable ICE Vehicles

Anti-ICE activists have begun distributing tire-deflating devices and instructions to their fellow agitators in Minneapolis in hopes of hindering immigration enforcement operations in the city, a local politician revealed.

The devices are 3D printed “tire-drainers” and were distributed in a neighborhood near the University of Minnesota with attached instructions and a link to the design file. The package recovered by Jerry Munson, a former state representative, held five such devices.

The flyer attached to the package read: “See an ICE vehicle left unattended? Protect your community by draining their tires!”

“1. Get a spotter to watch your back,” the flyer instructed. “2. Locate their tire valve and screw the drainer on. 3. Be swift and don’t get caught! As soon as the tire starts draining air, distance yourself from the vehicle. Do not attempt to recover the drainer.”

“ICE cannot operate without their vehicles. Disabling their vehicles will likely significantly disrupt their plans. Attempt at your own risk.”

On the reverse side of the flyer, the manufacturer included a QR code to the file to produce the drainers, as well as contact information to request more.

Despite the best efforts of the agitators, the Department of Homeland Security has only decided to increase operations in the city after committing an additional 1,000 officers to Minneapolis on Friday.

Corporate Media’s 7 Most Brazenly Fake Claims About The Anti-ICE Car-Ramming

f you’ve only paid attention to the legacy media over the past few days, you probably know more about Renee Good’s poetry than you do about the actions that led to her tragic death last Wednesday. After refusing federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers’ commands to get out of her car, which she had used to impede agents’ access to a neighborhood road, Good was caught on video accelerating her SUV toward one agent with another hanging on her door. The agent in front of her vehicle fatally shot her as the car appeared to hit him.

The corporate press, with help from the Democrats to whom they run for comment, portrayed Good as a victim of spontaneous violence, a “woman [who] drops her kid off at school, not involved in protest activity or anything, [but] seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.” The more details emerged, the fewer of those claims turned out to be true.

1. Good Was Just Driving ‘Past’ Agents

A narrative quickly formed insisting that Good’s vehicle wasn’t pointed at the ICE agents at all but was directed away from them.

Someone at Axios Twin Cities approved a headline on Wednesday that said “ICE shoots, kills person in Minneapolis in vehicle that drove past agents.” The story’s lede was even worse: it claimed the ICE agent “shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was in a vehicle that drove close to federal agents” (emphasis added).

In similar fashion, The Washington Post ran a headline at the top of its online front page Thursday morning that claimed the agent “was not in the vehicle’s path” when he fired his handgun. After criticism, the Post changed the headline to say the agent “fired at driver as vehicle veered past him,” without a correction notice. (The same article frames Good’s acceleration toward the agent as navigating “in the correct direction of traffic on the one-way street.”)

But regardless of whether Good intended to hit the officer, it’s obvious from video footage that from the officer’s visual perspective, her car was aimed directly at him. Multiple videos appear to show her vehicle actually hitting him — which would make the Post’s claim that he was “not in the vehicle’s path” something of an impossibility.

ICE Resistance Groups Growing, Some Funded by Soros, U.S. Government, and Linked to Terrorism

Anti-ICE activism has evolved into coordinated resistance networks that employ surveillance, harassment, and interference tactics. Organizations train activists in resistance methods, track ICE agents’ movements through mobile apps and crowdsourced databases, and conduct campaigns designed to obstruct immigration enforcement operations.

These efforts include doxing ICE agents, issuing threats against their homes and families, and running coordinated online propaganda campaigns that rely on altered or misleading videos. Posts may show ICE breaking a window while omitting that the occupant refused to open it, or claim agents “chased” someone without noting the individual was fleeing to evade arrest. Videos of agents wrestling with arrestees are circulated without acknowledging that the person resisted arrest, and outrage is expressed when a U.S. citizen is arrested while omitting that the citizen assaulted or interfered with federal officers.

Activists also claim there is no due process, despite the fact that a large percentage of deportees have outstanding final orders of deportation that were never enforced. They argue people are being denied access to courts when, in reality, many individuals are already in the country illegally and are arrested after attempting to legalize their status through a green card application or marriage to a citizen. Activists then claim the individual “showed up for a regular immigration hearing” or was “trying to do it the right way,” even though once someone is in the country illegally, there is generally no legal path to adjust status.

To further vilify ICE and encourage resistance, media figures, activists, and public officials in sanctuary jurisdictions use loaded language such as “abducted” instead of arrested and “whisked away” instead of detained. Officials vow to protect constituents from ICE, despite the fact that ICE arrests and deports illegal aliens, not lawful residents or citizens. There would be no violence at all if people stopped interfering with lawful enforcement actions.

Against this backdrop of negative framing and propaganda, several activist organizations are actively coordinating interference with ICE operations, escalating tensions and increasing the risk of unnecessary violence.

Patel says FBI investigating anti-ICE protest organizers and funders

FBI Director Kash Patel told Just the News on Thursday that his agents are investigating the organizers and funders of anti-immigration enforcement protests for impeding law enforcement activities and endangering public safety.

“The FBI is investigating paid protest campaigns throughout the country including organizers, protesters and funding sources that drive illicit activities,” Patel said.

His announcement came one day after a woman trying to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Minneapolis struck an ICE agent with her car and was fatally shot while trying to flee arrest.

Patel’s announcement follows Just the News reporting in recent days about Chinese state-run propaganda outlets promoting left-wing-leaning protests in the U.S. against the Trump administration’s capture Friday night of Venezuelan strongman President Nicolas Maduro. 

The protests appear to be organized by a Chinese Communist Party-linked financial network in the United States.

Media outlets such as Xinhua News Agency, China Daily, China Global Television Network (CGTN), and the Global Times — all directly run by the CCP – in turn promoted the pro-Maduro protests organized by these same groups, as the Chinese government repeatedly denounced the actions taken by President Donald Trump against the close Chinese ally in Latin America.

Widow Who Urged Wife To ‘Drive’ In Deadly ICE Incident Rakes In $1.5M In Donations

Becca Good, who urged her wife to defy orders from ICE agents and “drive” in dangerous proximity to one of them before he fatally shot her in the head, is now the beneficiary of a $1.5 million windfall, thanks to a GoFundMe campaign to benefit the complicit widow and three children. 

In cellphone video released Friday — video taken by Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who did the shooting — Becca is seen escalating an already-tense situation, aggressively taunting agents who were attempting to get Renee Good to get out of her Honda Pilot. Renee Good was part of the left-wing group “Ice Watch,” which mounts campaigns to thwart ICE agents engaged in enforcement operations. 

With Renee Good parked perpendicular to the direction of traffic on a Minneapolis street, ICE agents approached her vehicle and ordered her to get out of the SUV. In the video released Friday, Becca is seen standing in the street, trash-talking the ICE agents. “You want to come at us? You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy. Go ahead,” says Becca. 

Then, as Renee puts the SUV in reverse and briefly moves backward, Becca attempts to open the passenger door, only to find it locked. She then yells “Drive, baby, drive!” and her wife does just that. ICE officer Ross, positioned close to the front of the vehicle, is heard firing his weapon, killing Renee. Soon after the Honda pilot barrels into a parked car, another video captures Becca sobbing as she sits on an icy sidewalk. “I made her come down here. It’s my fault,” she confesses to a man chronicling the post-shooting phase in an 8-minute video shot from a porch.

Portland Trantifa threatens ICE agent who shot Renee Good in Minneapolis

A trans-identified male Antifa member in Portland, Oregon has issued a threat against the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday after she attempted to run over the agent in her car.

In a video posted to social media, the “transfemme” previously known as Shawn Michael Bitgood said, “to the ICE agent that murdered that unarmed civilian in Minneapolis: we have your face, we have pictures of you. We will get justice for a fallen comrade, whether it be judicial justice or street justice depends on whether or not you turn yourself in and admit to your crime.”

“That wasn’t self-defense. That was murder, and you know it was murder. Don’t put it off as self-defense,” Bitgood added. Bitgood has also gone by the names ” Jennifer Michelle Bitgood” and “Freya Jode Bitgood,” and is a healthcare worker.

Bitgood previously threatened to kill Trump supporters and said he wished late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s entire family was dead. In response to independent journalist Nick Sortor posting a video of Charlie Kirk’s daughter reacting to a banner of her late father, Bitgood wrote, “Charlie Quirt’s whole family should be wiped out along with you and you’res.”

Infamous Former J6 Capitol Police Officer Sparks Fury After Calling on Americans to “Utilize Their Second Amendment Right” Against ICE Agents

A former Capitol Hill police officer who became a star propagandist for the media and Democrats against J6 protesters has sparked outrage after seemingly calling for the assassination of ICE officers following this week’s ICE self-defense shooting.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, chaos erupted on Wednesday after ICE fatally shot a rioter who attempted to run over agents in Minneapolis.

Video posted to X shows the moment an unhinged female was gunned down as she carried out her act of violence. Additional footage clearly shows that an ICE officer was in danger of being run over as Good accelerated.

The Department of Homeland Security called it an “act of domestic terrorism.”

The Star-Tribune later identified the female driver who was fatally shot as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.

During a podcast appearance this week, former J6 cop Michael Fanone expressed his fury about the protester’s death and what he perceived as the lack of action on the part of De Blasio and the police.

He then called for citizens to “utilize their Second Amendment right” against ICE officers if public officials failed to act enough for his liking.

You read that right. Fanone called for the assassination of heroic immigration officers.

Here’s How Professional Activists Use Guerrilla Tactics To Sabotage ICE Arrests

While the accomplice media go about making the next “Maryland Man” out of the Minneapolis woman fatally shot after allegedly trying to ram an ICE agent with her vehicle, more details are emerging about the radical life and times of Renee Nicole Good. 

As the New York Post reports, the 37-year-old woman was known as an anti-ICE “warrior” in a group called “ICE Watch.” The Post describes the resistance movement as a “loose coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids” in sanctuary city Minneapolis. 

In fact, ICE Watch and radical groups like it have popped up around the country, emerging during President Donald Trump’s first term and exploding in this first year of a second term laser-focused on cleaning up America’s illegal immigration mess. 

‘A Very Thorough Training’

The Post reports that Good joined the Immigration & Customs Enforcement resistance activists last year through her 6-year-old son’s “woke charter school.” Southside Family Charter School is a liberal indoctrination factory described by its co-founder as “unabashedly dedicated to social justice education,” according to the Post. 

Good and her “wife” Rebecca, 40, moved to Minneapolis last year and began getting involved in the local ICE Watch campaign, according to the publication. 

“[Renee Good] was trained against these ICE agents — what to do, what not to do, it’s a very thorough training,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends Southside Family, told The Post during a vigil at the site of Wednesday’s fatal shooting.

ICE officers were conducting a targeted operation at the time. Video shows officers instructing the woman to get out of her vehicle, which was moving closer to the agents. At that point, Good’s vehicle backed up before accelerating forward toward an ICE agent standing at the front of the vehicle. He fired his gun at the driver. Good was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the near-miss “an act of domestic terrorism.” She said Good had been “stalking and impeding” the officer’s “lawful operations” all day. 

“An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots,” the agency said in a press release. The unnamed officer “used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.”

The officer, according to DHS, was injured after being dragged by a vehicle some 50 yards during an enforcement effort last June in Minneapolis. Agents were attempting to bring into custody Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala during a traffic stop. The Mexican national was described as a “serial criminal illegal alien,” a child sex offender “who has been committing violent crimes in the U.S. for nearly 15 years.” When Muñoz-Guatemala attempted to flee, the ICE officer’s arm was inside the vehicle. 

The incident, which occurred in a suburban Minneapolis neighborhood, was caught on camera.

The Washington Post’s ‘Analysis’ Of The Minneapolis Shooting Is Pure Propaganda

Don’t believe your lying eyes.

That’s effectively what the hoax-peddling Washington Post told its readers when it ran what can only be surmised as the most dishonest piece of left-wing propaganda published (so far) this year.

Splattered across the top of the outlet’s homepage on Thursday was an ” analysis” titled, “Video shows ICE agent in Minneapolis fired at driver as vehicle veered past him.” (An earlier version of the article had the headline, “ICE agent was not in the vehicle’s path when he fired at driver, video shows.”)

Right from the get-go, it’s clear that make-pretend “reporters” Aaron Davis and Jonathan Baran aren’t trying to inform their audience of what actually happened but are instead seeking to advance the Democrat Party’s anti-ICE agenda.

Upon navigating the Orwellian article, readers are immediately bombarded with the presumption that the Trump administration’s central (and well-documented) claim — that the now-deceased woman disobeyed ICE and then hit an agent with her car — is false. In typical legacy media fashion, Davis and Baran play up such framing by asserting that their “frame-by-frame analysis” “raises questions” about the administration’s account of the incident.

“The SUV did move toward the ICE agent as he stood in front of it. But the agent was able to move out of the way and fire at least two of three shots from the side of the vehicle as it veered past him, according to the analysis,” the propaganda-style article reads.

The authors then take readers on a trip through different video frames of the moment in question, in which they even call into question the documented fact that the agent was hit by the suspect’s vehicle. With little hesitation, they write, “Videos examined by The Post, including one shared on Truth Social by Trump, do not clearly show whether the agent is struck or how close the front of the vehicle comes to striking him.”

Really? Readers are supposed to believe that?

From Palestine to Minneapolis, ICE and Israel use the same violent playbook

On January 7, ICE agents shot Renee Good three times through her car window as she seemingly tried to drive away from them in Minneapolis. Then, they blocked ambulances from reaching her for fifteen minutes while she bled out in the driver’s seat with her partner beside her. Within hours, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was calling Good, the woman who had just been executed in broad daylight by a federal agent, a “domestic terrorist,” claiming the agent had acted in self-defense against a woman allegedly trying to run him over with her vehicle.

If this sounds familiar, it should, because it is the exact same play Israel deploys every single time they kill a Palestinian. Take, for example, on December 6, just a few weeks ago, when Israeli soldiers in Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank, ordered 17-year-old Ahmad Rajabi to stop his car. He stopped and then they shot him dead anyway. They prevented emergency services from reaching Ahmad and shot at them as well. There are countless others just like Rajabi. 

ICE and the Israeli army are using the same playbook because they are born of the same system of state violence and white-supremacy – the same machinery of racialized control that has been refined in Palestine and imported to American cities through deliberate policy and corporate profit. As Noura Erakat penned, the ‘imperial boomerang has already made its way back.

Calling victims “terrorists” is how you make the dead responsible for their own deaths. Israel has spent decades making it so that every Palestinian killed at a checkpoint was “trying to ram soldiers,” every journalist shot while wearing a press vest was “operating with militants,” every child killed was somehow an imminent threat requiring lethal force. How else can you justify turning Gaza into a graveyard?

This is what occupation looks like everywhere it exists, in every context where armed agents operate with total impunity over populations denied meaningful legal protection or political power. And beyond the paramilitary forces swarming the streets, the same digital systems of occupation are also migrating back here.

Palantir runs ICE’s case management systems that track and monitor immigrants to enable fast-track deportations, and that same company provides AI-based targeting platforms for Israeli military airstrikes that decide which Palestinians to kill using data that includes private communications between Palestinian Americans and their relatives in Gaza. Israeli companies like Elbit and Paragon provide radar, surveillance, and spyware directly to ICE and Homeland Security. The Anti-Defamation League sponsors law enforcement exchange programs where American police travel to Israel to learn “best practices” in checkpoint management, crowd suppression, and in turning entire populations into security threats.
