'We had whistles. They had guns,' says wife of Minnesota woman killed by ICE agent
AP -- PBS ^ | January 9, 2026 | Staff

WASHINGTON (AP) — The wife of Renee Good, the woman shot and killed in her car by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis, says the couple had stopped to support their neighbors on the day of the shooting and described the mother of three as leaving a legacy of kindness.

"We had whistles. They had guns," Becca Good said in a written statement Friday that was provided to Minnesota Public Radio.

The statement was her first public comment about the death of Renee Good, 37, who was killed Wednesday after three Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers surrounded her Honda Pilot SUV on a snowy street a few blocks from the couple's home. Video taken by bystanders show an officer approaching the SUV stopped across the middle of the road, demanding the driver open the door and grabbing the handle.

The vehicle begins to pull forward and a different ICE officer standing in front of it pulls his weapon and immediately fires at least two shots at close range, jumping back as the vehicle moves toward him.

Trump administration officials have painted Renee Good as a domestic terrorist who tried to run over an officer with her vehicle. State and local officials in Minneapolis, as well as protesters, have rejected that characterization.

Becca Good has not responded to calls and messages from The Associated Press. Her statement provided no further detail about the day of the shooting and instead focused on memorializing her wife.

The couple had only recently moved to Minneapolis and were raising Renee Good's 6-year-old son from a previous marriage.

Yep, she had a Honda Pilot, and she was using it to stop ICE from arresting illegal aliens. IMHO the “wife” was a big part of the problem.

John Podesta's blueprint for civil war is in full operational mode.

The plan was postponed for four years when Democrats managed to steal the 2020 election.

In the meantime, they made a predictive-programming movie about a civil war to prepare their minions for what to do when the time came.

AP lies again. On the video taken by the ICE agent’s phone you can hear the impact of the vehicle hitting him. And his father confirmed that he was hit.

Maybe this “wife” should explain how she murdered her wife by urging her to commit the crime of evading arrest, a crime during the commission of which the woman was killed in a justified shooting. The last words this gal said to her “wife” urged her to drive hard rather than obey the officer’s command, which is a crime.

The affluence of America.

Palestinians are stuck throwing rocks.

In the US, they use SUVs.

White privilege I guess.

They had guns and legal authority to use them. You were interferring with the administration of law, and subject to arrest. You resisted arrest with deadly force, to wit, a motor vehicle. You aided, abetted, and incited the attempted murder of a lawful officer of the United States. You belong in jail, and you can put you whistle where the sun don’t shine.

People seem to have forgotten the cases of someone veering onto a pedestrian walkway or sidewalk and deliberately hitting rows of pedestrians.
“Vehicular Homicide” is specifically illegal in most states, with varying punishment.

“...terrorist groups, notably the Islamic State (ISIS) and Al-Qaeda, have explicitly and repeatedly encouraged their followers to use vehicles as weapons to kill pedestrians in “lone wolf” or “do-it-yourself” attacks.
This tactic is promoted because it requires minimal skill or preparation, uses readily available vehicles, and can be highly lethal in crowded public spaces (often referred to as “soft targets”).”

National Institute of Health.gov and others.

Article on the trend.

The agent was not in mortal danger because of a whistle.

Then the crusty dyke shouldn’t have taunted them. She should also be arrested as an accessory, especially when she ordered her partner to “drive, baby, drive!”

LOL! Indeed!

And of course we all read it in his voice.

So, don’t bring a whistle to a gun fight.

Wonder if the leftist producer of Law and Order SVU thought of censoring his own combined L&O and SVU episode Jan.8, 2026.

Two SVU detectives are standing in the road, aiming their weapons at an oncoming car and shooting 6 or 7 rounds directly into the windshield.
