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.

Did Trump Accidentally Pardon Accused Jan 6 Pipe-Bomber?

It took nearly five years for the FBI to finally arrest someone for planting pipe bombs outside the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican parties on the eve of the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riot, but the suspect may avoid serving a prison sentence thanks to the language in President Trump’s sweeping pardon of those who participated in Jan. 6 mayhem.

In that pardon issued on the day of his 2025 inauguration, Trump commuted the sentences of 14 people convicted of offenses springing from the Jan 6 demonstrations. Next, seeking to free some 1,500 others from convictions or pending prosecutions, Trump wrote, “I do hereby…grant a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

It seems immaterial that the charges against Brian Cole Jr for planting bombs came after Trump’s pardon, notes former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori, writing at Politico: 

Trump could have specified that the pardon applied only to people who had been convicted or charged “as of the date” of his pardon…but there is no such language in Trump’s proclamation. Lest there be any doubt, the Supreme Court made clear more than 150 years ago that presidents have the constitutional authority to do this — that is, to issue “preemptive pardons” for past conduct even if that conduct has not been charged at the time of the pardon.  

In another context — relating to Trump’s pardon of those who sought to send alternate slates of electors to the 2020 Electoral College — Trump’s DOJ has claimed it has the power to determine which crimes Trump intended to include, but courts may take a dim view of that kind of de facto delegation of presidential pardon power, particularly where the plain language of the pardon is unambiguous and deliberately sweeping.

Federal prosecutors are behaving as if they fully appreciate the pardon’s potential to set Cole free and render their efforts futile. In both court filings and remarks in a hearing, they avoided using language that links Cole’s alleged actions to Jan. 6.

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.

Minneapolis Police, INCLUDING THE CHIEF, Retreat After Anti-ICE Rioters Attack Them and Seize Control

Minneapolis police officers, including Chief Brian O’Hara, were attacked and chased out of a downtown area by violent anti-ICE rioters on Friday night.

Officers were seen in video footage from the riot abandoning the streets, leaving the area under the control of leftist anarchists who have been protesting federal immigration enforcement operations.

Riots have escalated in the wake of the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a radical anti-ICE activist, who nearly mowed down an agent with her vehicle last week.

Independent journalist Nick Sortor, who has been on the ground covering the story, posted shocking video showing police in full retreat.

A large crowd of protesters can be seen advancing on the officers, shouting demands, as police speed away.

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.

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.
