Renee Nicole Good–37
Mother of three children, a 6‑year‑old, a 12‑year‑old, and a 15‑year‑old.
Murdered by ICE in January. 2026
Personal Life & Character
Loved and remembered by her family:
-
- Her mother, Donna Ganger, said “she was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” compassionate, caring, and devoted to others.
- Family described her as loving, forgiving, and affectionate.
- Her spouse and children survive her; her youngest child was dropped off at school shortly before the encounter with ICE.
- Family’s reaction: Her family said she was “probably terrified.”
- City leaders: Minneapolis officials have condemned the shooting and challenged the federal narrative.
Public reaction: Vigils and public outcry have centered on remembering Good as a caring mother and community member.
Not known as a protester: Local family and neighbors said she was not involved in activism or demonstrations against ICE; she was not a target of immigration enforcement.
Community Response
Donald Trump: “The woman driving the car was very
disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer.”
J.D. Vance: It was “a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with.” She “was radicalized.”
Kristi Noem: “She then proceeded to weaponize her vehicle, and she attempted to run a law enforcement officer over.” It was “an act of domestic terrorism.”
Paul Krugman: “And now the story of the moment is the atrocity in Minneapolis, where, on Wednesday, an ICE agent killedRenee Nicole Good by shooting her in the head.
“Trump and his minions responded by flatly lying about what happened. But their accounts have been refuted by video evidence which show an out-of-control ICE agent gunning down a woman who was simply trying to get away from a frightening situation.
“Yes, MAGA loyalists will fall into line, preferring to believe Trump rather than their own lying eyes. But public revulsion over Good’s murder and Trump’s mendacity are high and growing.
“A president who actually cared about the welfare of those he governs would have taken Good’s killing as an indication that his deportation tactics have veered wildly and tragically off course. He would have called for a halt of ICE actions and made sure there would be an objective and timely federal investigation into this national tragedy.
“But for Trump, ICE’s violent lawlessness is a feature, not a bug. Sending armed, masked, poorly trained, and out-of-control armed thugs into blue cities is, in effect, a war on Americans, just as January 6th was a war on American institutions. In effect, Trump would rather savage his own people than be held accountable for his actions.
“So in Trump’s mind, Renee Nicole Good’s murder is at most collateral damage, in service to his insatiable need to dominate and feel powerful — so insatiable that he is attempting to create an alternate reality, claiming that Good ran over an agent although there is irrefutable video evidence that she didn’t.”
Minnesota Gov.
Tim Walz on Thursday demanded that the state be allowed to take part, as
it would be the only way the public could be confident in its findings, noting it would be
“very, very difficult for Minnesotans” to accept that
an investigation that excludes the state
could be fair.
“And I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgment
from the president to the vice president to Kristi Noem, have stood and told you things that
are verifiably false, verifiably inaccurate.”
There is only one obvious reason for the investigation to exclude the state: To clear Trump and his ICE Gestapo by blocking the release of damaging information.
And finally, we remind you of an earlier Republican scandal (No, not Nixon, a different Republican scandal): Army–McCarthy hearings on June 9, 1954: Joseph N. Welch to Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy: “At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”
That is my question to Trump, Noem, the rest of Trump’s advisors, the right-wing media who promulgate the lies, the right-wing religious leaders who cheerlead the lies, and to the people who still would vote Republican: At long last . . . at long last.
