On January 7, 2026, Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE officer. Good was part of an organization called ICE Watch, which not only monitors ICE activities but also actively interferes with ICE operations. She had been involved in such activities over the course of several hours on the day in question before she attempted to run over an ICE officer who was one of several attempting to get her out of her vehicle.
Good was not acting on her own. She was part of a large-scale, highly organized “direct action” effort that is taking place not only in Minneapolis but across the country. Here’s an excerpt from the anarchist publication Crimethinc written by a participant in the efforts to obstruct federal law enforcement.

Renee Good was not observing ICE officers. She was attempting to prevent them from doing their jobs, and, ultimately, she was attempting to kill one of them.
Good’s death is a tragedy. It is not, however, the end of anything. It is only the beginning. The people and organizations training groups across the country to fight ICE have no intention of backing down. They are only getting started.
During rallies in New York City following the Good shooting, protesters marched and chanted “Abolish ICE!”, “Kill Them All, Burn Them All and “Kristi Noem will hang — Save a life, kill an ICE” as they marched through Manhattan.
As we have reported before, these groups are highly organized and sophisticated. They also have help from the inside. After the shooting of Renee Good, two Tren de Aragua members were shot by Border Patrol in Portland, Oregon. Rioters were vectored to the scene by a local ICE Watch group. The information on the shooting was apparently sent to ICE Watch by a source inside one of the city’s emergency services agencies.
Support for these groups is not limited to anonymous sources. The Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, responded to Good’s death by calling it murder. He has made clear that City authorities will not support ICE activities in New York City. Federal officers enforcing the law are on their own. NYPD will not back them up.
This is only getting started. The Left has chosen street violence as a political tactic, and unfortunately, a lot more people are going to die before this is over.

What I predicted at least six months ago... IT HAS BEGUN! "IT" is the revolution to take over the country. If Marshall Law or the Insurrection Act isn't invoked, it will definitely get worse in the coming months.
Oregon AG Rayfield condemned the shooting yesterday with no investigative fact. Janelle Bynum, Congress, OR 5th district, also publicly condemned CBP. Law and order has no meaning to Oregons leftist politicians. Facts mean nothing. The taxpayers mean nothing.
For me, 20 miles from downtown may not be enough. Don't come here if you don't need to, it's dangerous and you will not be protected.
