Stunning new footage shot by ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good shows what REALLY happened

Crystal-clear new footage shows the moments leading up to the killing of Renee Nicole Good, filmed by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who shot her.

Good, 37, could be seen smiling at Jonathan ‘Jon’ Ross while sitting in her Honda Pilot on Wednesday afternoon and saying, ‘That’s fine dude. I’m not mad,’ in a video shot by the officer that was obtained by Minnesota outlet Alpha News.

Her wife, Rebecca Good, 40, could be heard urging the agent to ‘show his face’ as she asks him, ‘You want to come at us?’

‘You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch big boy,’ Rebecca said, with her own cellphone in hand. ‘Go ahead.’

As the tension mounted on the Minneapolis street, Good was told to get out of the car but ignored the order.

She began revving the engine and drove off during what the Trump administration says was part of a protest against the planned detention of Somali migrants in the area.

Rebecca can be heard shouting ‘drive baby, drive’ as Ross’s camera jerked. It is unclear if he was struck by the car or jumped to get out of its way.

Ross fired three shots, including one through the front windshield of the Honda, which struck and killed Good. An agent is heard calling Good a ‘f***ing bitch’ as shots rang out.

Moments later, her car crashed into the back of two vehicles parked nearby. The shocking chain of events quickly divided the United States.

Ross’s cellphone footage was unveiled just hours after surveillance footage was released, showing how Good apparently blocked the road with her SUV for four minutes before she was shot dead.

The video shows how about 20 seconds after the mother of three’s maroon Honda Pilot pulled up to the street, a passenger – believed to be her wife Rebecca Good – exited the vehicle and eventually began filming. 

Good then repositioned the SUV, seemingly blocking the street. The grainy video, however, shows that other cars were still able to pass around her.

Ross then arrived on the scene and was quickly joined by other federal agents who surrounded Good’s vehicle.

A federal agent began to grab at her door, allegedly ordering her to get out of the SUV. Good seemingly pulled the car forward and Ross fired three shots at her in quick succession, before she drove off.

Neither of the newly released videos show the immediate aftermath of the deadly shooting in which Good lost control at the wheel and crashed.

There is speculation that Rebecca, who admitted to bringing her spouse to the anti-ICE protest, exited the car so she could begin filming any potential clash with federal agents. She was seen wielding her camera during Ross’s confrontation with her wife but it is unclear when she first started to record.

Relative of Woman Killed During Minneapolis ICE Operation Says She “Should Have Minded Her Own Business”

As the radical left continues to use the death of Renee Nicole Good to fuel their anti-ICE narrative, a surprising voice has emerged from within her own family circle, suggesting the fatal encounter could have been avoided if she hadn’t injected herself into a high-stakes federal operation.

Good, 37, was shot and killed Wednesday morning in Minneapolis after she “weaponized” her vehicle against federal agents.

While the mainstream media and local Democrat politicians like Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey have rushed to martyr Good, calling her a “legal observer” and “peaceful neighbor,” those who knew her are offering a much more complicated picture.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Joseph Macklin, the former brother-in-law of the deceased, didn’t hold back.

He suggested that Good had no business being at the scene of the ICE raid in the first place.

“She had no reason to be there, in my opinion. It had nothing to do with her,” Macklin told the outlet. “She shouldn’t have been in the way. She had nothing to do with the ICE agents or immigration, so she shouldn’t have been there. She should have minded her own business.”

Joseph said Good had three children, including a six-year-old son she shared with his brother, Tim Macklin Jr., an Air Force veteran who tragically died in 2023.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and President Trump have stood firmly behind the agents, describing the incident as an act of “self-defense” against “domestic terrorism.”

According to federal officials, Good was not merely “driving home” from a school drop-off, as her ex-husband claimed.

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin stated that Good had been “stalking and impeding” ICE’s work throughout the day before eventually attempting to run over an officer with her SUV.

Democrats’ Faux-Masculinity Superhero Tim Walz Implodes

Tim Walz dropping out of Minnesota’s gubernatorial race hearkens back to the early days of the Harris-Walz 2024 ticket. Less than a week after Kamala Harris secured the Democrat presidential nomination, she selected Walz as her running mate. In Democrats’ imagination, the Minnesota governor would magically sweep the working class, rural voters, and men into the fold like Joe Biden 2.0, all while serving as the Democrat model of manhood — an obsequious, plushie personality nearly entirely feminine in nature, with a few accoutrements of manhood tacked on. Mercifully, the plan failed, along with the Harris-Walz candidacy.

The leftist faux man failed then too, with Trump winning men by a wide margin, but Walz’s resignation from the race for governor is the formal confirmation of that failure, the last sputter in his puttering tenure as Dem comic book star. Democrats won’t let go of their perverted concept of manhood, but it’s a bust as a political tool.

Notably, the welfare fraud dumpster fire that finally sank Walz is really a feature, not a bug, of leftist masculinity. Filled with “compassion” and “Minnesota nice,” Walz oversaw the shoveling of billions of dollars into the coffers of Minnesota’s Somali population, and even on his way out, he touted a new welfare program rife with more fraud opportunities. But that’s exactly what the ideal leftist man does. Forking over taxpayer dollars, whether to spoon-feed the insatiable appetite of “empathy” or atone for colonialist escapades (U.S. or otherwise), is an essential duty. To do so to any lesser degree — even to benefit U.S. citizens — is a cardinal sin that will ostensibly lead to the deaths of millions.

As Democrats’ apex male protagonist, Walz engaged performatively in numerous other activities, such as installing tampons in men’s bathrooms. He also pushed through legislative revisions removing protections for babies born alive after failed abortions — in a state where babies so-called “doctors” tried to kill were already being left to die anyway. He also signed off on driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, along with taxpayer-funded health care (a measure he’s since repealed). He made Minnesota a sanctuary state for trans-identifying children, inserting himself in parent-child relationships as a fierce proponent of permanent bodily mutilation. Less significantly, Walz spent the 2024 campaign overzealously hurrahing Harris like an insecure male cheerleader desperate not to steal her thunder.

WHO IS RENEE NICOLE GOOD? “She/Her” Recently Moved Back From Canada Where She Was Trying To Escape Trump—She Was “Trained against these ICE agents” and Won Prize For Grotesque Poem “On Learning To Dissect Fetal Pigs”

Yesterday, several videos went viral of Renee Nicole Macklin Good blocking ICE from driving down a neighborhood street in Minneapolis with a vehicle during an ICE raid.

In one of the videos, several ICE agents are seen approaching the vehicle where Good was sitting in the driver’s seat. Her Honda SUV was parked perpendicular to traffic.

Two ICE agents approach the window of the vehicle and demand that she move. She backs up, repositions her tires so she is aiming directly at the ICE agent standing to her right, and points her vehicle at the ICE agent in front of her.

In the video, she appears to accelerate, and her vehicle appears to be moving toward the ICE agent. The ICE agent in front of her vehicle then opens fire at Ms. Good.

The 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good was killed by the gunshots fired by the ICE agent who appeared to be in her path.

According to a report by the Daily Mail, Jon Ross, the ICE agent who reportedly shot Nicole Macklin Good Ross is an ‘experienced’ officer, sources told the Minneapolis Star Tribune, but last year suffered gruesome injuries in Bloomington, MN, as he tried to arrest an illegal immigrant sex offender.

‘He’s the same ICE agent who got dragged by car 50 feet back in June, so he has a history,’ an FBI agent who spoke to the Daily Mail on condition of anonymity confirmed.

Here’s the Thread Explaining Why ICE Killing a Crazed Leftist Who Attacked Federal Agents Was Justified

Renee Nicole Good, 37, led anti-ICE convoys. She wanted to disrupt their operations. It got her killed. In Minneapolis, Minnesota, yesterday, Good rammed into ICE agents who opened fire and killed her. It was a justified shooting. The other angles clearly show Good ramming an agent. Second, even if she didn’t, it still constitutes assault. 

Amy Swearer, a Senior Legal Fellow in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, reviewed the video footage and came to this conclusion: It was a justified use of deadly force 

I’ve now watched the Minneapolis ICE shooting from three different angles, and there’s no real question — it was quite obviously a legally justified use of deadly force by a law enforcement officer. That officer faced an unknown subject who, while ignoring lawful commands, pointed a 3000+ lbs. car at him and evidenced an intent to continue driving that car. He shot the driver (1) after the driver made physical contact with his body and (2) through the front windshield. You can slow down the video all you want and spend minutes analyzing micro-seconds to make after-the-fact assessments of the likelihood the driver actually intended to use the car as a lethal weapon. In reality, during those micro-seconds in real time, it’s reasonable to presume that a driver ignoring your commands to stop is about to floor the gas peddle, turn the wheel into you, and run you over. It’s no different than the reasonable presumption that the suspect who ignores your commands to keep their hands up and reaches for the gun in their waistband intends to use it against you rather than toss it away.

Here’s What Dems Don’t Want You to Know About the Woman Who Attacked ICE Agents

On Wednesday, an anti-ICE protester thought it would be a good idea to attempt to run over ICE agents in Minneapolis. She learned the hard way that attacking a federal law enforcement officer is not a good idea, and officers wound up shooting and killing her.

Ever since, the left has been gaslighting the public, claiming that the ICE agent shot her without provocation, that he wasn’t in front of the car when she hit the gas, that she was just turning her vehicle when she was shot, and that she wasn’t even involved in the anti-ICE protests.

An eyewitness to the incident has completely blown apart the left’s false narratives and even directly contradicted claims from the victim’s own mother that she had nothing to do with the protest that turned violent.

The woman who was killed was identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. After her death, Good’s mother insisted that her daughter was “not part of anything like that at all” when it came to the anti-ICE protests.

The witness account tells a very different story, one that places Good at the center of an organized effort to obstruct federal agents.

The witness said the incident began early in the morning after hearing an unusual noise outside.

“I woke up to some commotion. I heard some whistles going on out front, so I came downstairs to see what was going on,” the witness said.

The scene quickly came into focus. Traffic was blocked, and Good’s vehicle was positioned to halt movement entirely.

“There was a car, the Honda Pilot, that’s crashed over there now,” the witness explained. “There was a car blocking the two lanes of Portland traffic.”

According to the witness, ICE agents exited their vehicles and ordered Good to leave the area. The witness described Good actively maneuvering her vehicle during the confrontation.

Far-Left DA Mary Moriarty Threatens to Prosecute ICE Agent Who Fired in Self-Defense Against Violent Agitator

The far-left Hennepin County Attorney’s Office is now claiming it has the “authority” to bring criminal charges against a federal ICE agent who was forced to use his weapon in self-defense on Wednesday.

The incident occurred during a targeted enforcement operation in South Minneapolis as part of a broader Trump administration crackdown on illegal immigration.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was acting as a “violent rioter” when she allegedly weaponized her SUV, attempting to ram and kill federal officers.

The agent, already doxxed by the legacy media, was identified as a 10-year veteran who discharged his weapon after Good allegedly accelerated her vehicle toward him.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem praised the officer’s split-second decision-making, stating he “used his training to save his own life and that of his colleagues.”

Ross is no stranger to the dangers of the Twin Cities; records show he was seriously injured last year after being dragged by a fleeing vehicle during a similar operation.

VP JD Vance mentioned that the officer involved had been “dragged by a car six months ago” and required 33 stitches in his legs, a fact conveniently omitted by the fake news media.

Despite the federal nature of the incident, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, a prosecutor notorious for her “soft-on-crime” approach, is vowing to use “every available lever to ensure a local, transparent investigation takes place.”

“We have jurisdiction to bring charges, as do the feds,” Daniel Borgertpoepping, a spokesperson for the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office told ABC News.

“It’s a little bit of a complicated interplay but the bottom line is yes, we have jurisdiction to bring criminal charges.”

In an interview with MS NOW, Minnesota’s far-left Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan doubled down on the rhetoric.

While federal officials maintain that ICE agents were performing their lawful duties to remove illegal aliens and maintain public safety, Flanagan and other state Democrats are framing the presence of federal law enforcement as “unconstitutional.”

Flanagan framed federal agents as the primary source of danger in Minnesota.

“These ICE agents, right, who are here under the guise somehow of safety have done nothing but make us less safe,” Flanagan claimed.

She went on to accuse the agents of “detaining American citizens,” “throwing people into the backs of vans,” arresting legal observers and innocent bystanders,” and even “deploying chemical agents around children.”

The Lieutenant Governor repeatedly called for a “full and fair, transparent investigation,” stating that “Renee Goode deserves justice.”

However, she expressed deep frustration that the FBI has rescinded its cooperation with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA).

Far-Left Gov. Tim Walz Mobilizes National Guard as Minneapolis Spirals Into Chaos

Radical Democrat Governor Tim Walz is at it again.

Years after he sat back and watched Minneapolis burn during the 2020 BLM riots, Walz has suddenly found his “authority” to mobilize the Minnesota National Guard.

As TGP reported at the time, Walz’s delay in 2020 allowed rioters to torch the Third Precinct and cause over $500 million in damages.

Now, facing a new crisis, the Governor appears to be playing the same political games, pleading for “peace” while simultaneously attacking federal law enforcement.

On Wednesday, Walz issued a “warning order” for the National Guard following a fatal officer-involved shooting involving a federal ICE agent in South Minneapolis.

Walz explicitly described the order as a “heads-up” for the troops to begin preparations for potential deployment.

Walz is framing this preparation as a protective measure for Minnesotans against what he calls “sensationalized” federal operations. He stated, “These National Guard troops are our National Guard troops.”

On Thursday, Walz is now positioning the National Guard not just to stop rioters, but as a “heads up” against what he calls a “war” being waged by federal agencies against his state.

According to the press release:

Out of an Abundance of Caution and in Coordination with Local Officials, Governor Walz Authorizes Minnesota National Guard to be Staged and Ready to Support Local Law Enforcement If Needed

The National Guard remains ready if needed to help keep the peace, ensure public safety, and allow for peaceful demonstrations

Governor Tim Walz has authorized the Minnesota National Guard to be staged and ready to support local and state law enforcement in protecting critical infrastructure and maintaining public safety following a shooting involving federal immigration enforcement agents in south Minneapolis.

Executive Order 26-01 provides the ability for the Minnesota National Guard to protect critical infrastructure and to assist local law enforcement with additional tasks as requested. The state is providing additional law enforcement resources in a coordinated response to aid local law enforcement. The Minnesota State Patrol has mobilized 85 members of its Mobile Response Team to support law enforcement efforts in the Twin Cities.

“Minnesotans have met this moment. Thousands of people have peacefully made their voices heard. Minnesota: thank you. We saw powerful peace,” said Governor Walz. “We have every reason to believe that peace will hold. Yesterday, I directed the National Guard to be ready should they be needed. They remain ready in the event they are needed to help keep the peace, ensure public safety, and allow for peaceful demonstrations.”

Executive Order 26-01 authorizes the Adjutant General to place National Guard personnel, equipment, and facilities on state active duty to coordinate and support public safety and security services in Minnesota. The Guard will serve in a support role, focused on protecting property, safeguarding critical infrastructure, and allowing local law enforcement to remain focused on community safety and investigative responsibilities.

Executive Order 26-01 provides access to an additional tool that can include preparation and planning in support of local and state law enforcement and emergency management agencies, as well as the support of local law enforcement efforts to protect life and property, ensure public safety, and protect freedom of speech by allowing for peaceful demonstrations.

BUSTED: Ilhan Omar Caught Trying to Funnel $1M to a “Substance Abuse Clinic” Operating Out of a Restaurant Run by Three People at the Same Address — GOP TORPEDOES the Earmark

Another Minnesota money pipeline just got shut down, and this one leads straight back to Rep. Ilhan Omar.

The funding, which was tucked into a federal spending bill, was purportedly destined for a “substance abuse clinic” in Omar’s home state of Minnesota.

However, a shocking investigation led by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) revealed that the “clinic” was anything but legitimate.

During an interview on Fox Business, Senator Ernst detailed the absolute absurdity of the proposal, describing a trail of red flags that would make any honest taxpayer’s blood boil.

“What I uncovered the other day, in one of our spending bills making its way through Congress, was a $1 million earmark from Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

“This earmark was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals who share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork. Tons of red flags.

“So this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers. Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well.

“I raised the issue, and fortunately, the House has now stripped that earmark out of that spending bill. But again, this is how easy money has been flowing to bad actors in Minnesota.”

Minneapolis Public Schools Cancel Classes and Activities for Rest of Week

Minneapolis Public Schools announced Wednesday night that all classes and activities were canceled for the rest of the week and that students would not have to do ‘e-learning’ at home while schools are closed.

Protests are expected in the coming days after a woman driver was shot and killed by a federal officer when she allegedly tried to run him over during a protest against ICE in a Minneapolis residential neighborhood Wednesday morning.

The Department of Homeland Security has surged up to 2,000 federal agents into Minnesota this week for immigration enforcement and investigations into billions of dollars in fraud involving mainly Somali immigrants ripping off federally funded Medicaid and other welfare programs.
