Who was Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed by ICE?
BBC ^ | January 8, 2026 | Tiffany Wertheimer

Posted on 01/08/2026 7:27:35 AM PST by xxqqzz

The woman shot dead by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis has been identified as Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who had just moved to the city.

She was a prize-winning poet and a hobby guitarist, who was there as a legal observer of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities, city leaders have said.

But the Trump administration has called her a "domestic terrorist".

Good's death has sparked protests across the country, with many people holding signs that read "Justice for Renee". ...

A fundraiser for Good's family, which was set up with a target of $50,000 (£37,000), raised more than $370,000 in 10 hours.

In what appears to be Good's Instagram account, which has now been made private, Good described herself as a "poet and writer and wife and mom", who was "experiencing Minneapolis".

A US citizen, Good was originally from Colorado Springs and had moved to Minneapolis just last year from Kansas City.

The Minnesota Star Tribune reports that she used to host a podcast with her second husband, Tim Macklin, who died in 2023. They had a son together, who is now six years old, Macklin's father told the newspaper.

She had two other children with her first husband, who spoke to US media on condition that his name was not used. He said that Good was not an activist and that she was a devoted Christian who went to Northern Ireland on youth missions when she was younger.

She had previously worked as a dental assistant and at a credit union, but had mainly been a stay-at-home mum in recent years, according to the Associated Press.

Maybe the agent made mistakes being in front of the SUV and shooting. However, she was an "observer", following around ICE agents. Then she was blocking the road and refused to get out of her car.

We'll only get reporting on her once her social media is scrubbed and once the Left works out a nice little cinematic tear jerker about her ‘lifestyle’!

What tripe.

I don’t care if she was an aspiring rapper.

She tried to murder an ICE agent with her vehicle and got herself killed as he defended himself.

End of story.

She was a silly woman who panicked and clipped an officer with her car as she fled arrest. She screwed up. Now she is dead

She is not George Floyd.

Ah, spent time in KC in my old hood. She also fled to Canada with the election of the orange man. The media and her family are lying when they say she was not protesting.

“She was a silly woman who panicked and clipped an officer with her car as she fled arrest.”

No; she was worse than a “silly woman”. The reports I heard on Newsweek and Fox today said that she was the ringleader, and the designated head of the “convoy” organized to block LEOs.

Also, some Fox Legal chick said that “both sides” have be careful of rhetoric. ◔̯◔ Fox.

What are the qualifications to be a legal observer? It appears she was obstructing justice.

Her attempts to block the road to inhibit the lawful actions by federal agents completely undemine any claims to be a ‘lawful observer’. Those attempts preceeded any actions by the federal agents.

Nice wordsmithing.. ie: What's a " legal observer"?

And when you try to run over or interfere with federal business does that not make one an " illegal observer" or seditionist? Just asking.

A "legal observer"? Wow! How do you become one of those? Can anybody? Is there some kind of certification for that ? A special handshake?

If she qualifies as one, then isn't Nick Shirley a legal observer, too?

Good riddance to trash. I don’t care if the agent was being run over or not.

She’s a lesson in FAFO for any and all who want a front row seat at fighting against what millions of Americans voted for in 2024 after stolen election of 2020 and subsequent invasion.

Otoh, its about time limits are set on protesters actions. For too long they have been allowed to destroy public and private property without even a slap.

if youre gonna protest, it should be at a cost, it shouldn't be done for the free stuff.

Just imagine how excited the media would be if she were black.

No apologies.
No backing down.
No conciliatory language.

She got what she deserved.
