Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) are planning to introduce a bill that would strip federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers of their qualified immunity protections. The bill, called the ICE OUT Act, comes amid fervent debate over whether an ICE officer should face criminal prosecution for the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good on Wednesday. Macklin Good was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minnesota after reportedly dropping her son off at school. Videos shared to social media showed Macklin Good’s car stopped on a snowy road when officers approached, demanding she...

Angie Craig is a Minnesota congresswoman seeking the Dem nomination for an open Senate seat. Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, Craig's ultraliberal primary opponent, has accused Craig of being too tough on immigration. Craig committed the unforgivable sin -- in leftist eyes -- of voting for the Laken Riley Act, and supporting a House resolution condemning antisemitism and expressing gratitude for ICE. So Craig is clearly on a campaign to atone for her transgressions, and prove to the kind of far-left Dems who vote in Minnesota primaries that she is just as out there as the wackiest of them. MS NOW's...

The ICE agent who fatally shot protester Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis is a Trump-supporting Christian and war veteran who has a Filipina wife, according to his family.

Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7, was at least the 15th person fired upon by immigration officials in President Donald Trump's second term. Now, a shooting in Portland, Oregon, by Customs and Border Patrol on Thursday marks the 16th shooting incident by federal immigration officials. Two were injured. Those 16 shooting incidents have resulted in four deaths — including Good — and at least seven injuries, according to a Get the Facts Data Team analysis of data collected by The Trace. In another 15 incidents, federal...

Social media is crawling with self-proclaimed forensic analysts poring over footage of Wednesday’s ICE shooting in Minneapolis and insisting it shows the agent who shot Renee Nicole Good lacked justification. Some of the takes are downright embarrassing, with left-wing influencers confidently analyzing the wrong ICE agent altogether, pointing to the one at the side of the vehicle instead of the agent positioned in front of it. Some simply post the same footage we’ve all seen and merely declare the video proves the agent is a murderer. I’ve seen it all, and let me tell you, of all the analyses out...

In Minneapolis a woman trying to resist ICE law-enforcement activity ended up being shot to death. Renee Good used her car to block traffic in both directions of a street in the enforcement zone. ICE agents made several attempts to get her to exit her car so she could be arrested for obstruction. Her wife Rebecca Brown Good exited the vehicle. As Rebecca yelled "drive baby, drive," Renee put her foot on the gas pedal. The car lurched forward toward an ICE officer. He fired his pistol at the driver. The car veered past and sideswiped him rather than hitting...

The conservative commentator wrote the 37-year-old mother likely has different immigration views from him, “But that shouldn’t matter. Her death is a tragedy, regardless of her partisan affiliations, ideological beliefs, or who pulled the trigger. A woman got shot in the face.” He compared the conservatives’ response to the left-wing reaction to Charlie Kirk’s killing, arguing Americans have become desensitized to home-turf violence because American leaders are “normalizing bloodshed.”

A new cellphone video released by Alpha News appears to show the perspective of an ICE agent involved in the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement sent to Newsweek, "This footage corroborates what DHS has stated all along—that this individual was impeding law enforcement and weaponized her vehicle in an attempt to kill or cause bodily harm to federal law enforcement. The officer was in fear of his own life, the lives of his fellow officers and acted in self-defense. The American people can watch...

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.

Renee Nicole Good’s wife was antagonizing ICE agents and even urged her to “drive baby, drive” just moments before the fatal shooting in Minneapolis, according to shocking new video taken on the agent’s own cell phone. The video — filmed by agent Jonathan Ross on Wednesday and obtained by Alpha News — shows the heated interaction between the Goods in the lead-up to the shooting. Renee can be seen behind the driver’s seat of the plum-colored Honda Pilot, while her wife, Rebecca, stands in the street next to the car. A dog is also sitting in the back seat, peering...

MINNEAPOLIS — Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal. Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said. “She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a...

A prosecutor previously criticized for targeting law enforcement is asking to lead a probe into a shooting by an immigration agent in Minnesota. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said Wednesday that she made the demand after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot a driver who drove toward him during anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis. Conservatives blasted Moriarty over the past year for giving no jail time to a Somali rapist and a Tesla vandal and for attempting to prosecute a state trooper who shot a belligerent felon. We’re aware of the shooting at 34th and Portland. We’ve been...

You would think Minneapolis's leaders would do all they could to try to salvage their city's riot-prone image in the wake of the George Floyd debacle. But you'd be wrong. Here's the latest idiocy coming out of what looks like a sad situation for a leftist woman lacking reasonable judgment around police operations, according to the New York Times: A federal officer shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis during an immigration enforcement operation Wednesday, as the Trump administration intensified a crackdown on illegal immigration. Details of the shooting remained unclear, with conflicting accounts from local and federal officials....

As RedState reported, there was a leftist blockade attempt earlier in a Minnesota neighborhood that turned violent after an anti-ICE agitator appeared to hit an agent conducting immigration enforcement operations with her SUV, resulting in shots being fired that left the woman dead. The woman has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Good. In the aftermath of the incident, Democrats in the state went nuts in fanning the flames, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz both blaming ICE for what happened without bothering to wait for (nor actually caring about) the actual facts. Walz even announced he'll call...

Why is the mainstream media ignoring this particular video from this particular angle of the shooting of Renee Good by ICE agents in Minnesota?

The grieving wife of a woman shot dead by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota broke down in tears and blamed herself for the tragedy. Harrowing footage from the scene showed the unidentified woman in tears over the shooting death of 37-year-old poet Renee Nicole Good, as she admitted encouraging Good to confront agents. 'I made her come down here, it’s my fault,' she could be heard saying at one point, through tears. 'They just shot my wife.' Witnesses have claimed Good and her wife were acting as legal observers and filming the protest when she was shot three...

ICE shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota after an attempted car ramming..

...and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE....
