The American Civil Liberties Union is using a familiar Bruce Springsteen song in a new advertising campaign to support birthright citizenship in the U.S. Watch the 30-second clip below. Their spot arrives ahead of an April 1 hearing in the case of Trump v. Barbara before the U.S. Supreme Court. This lawsuit was filed after President Trump's January 2025 executive order attempting to redefine the Constitution's 14th Amendment, which automatically grants citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. The ACLU filed one of many lawsuits to stop this change, including others led by various governors and state attorneys general. Trump's...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Minnesota officials sued the Trump administration on Tuesday for access to evidence they say they need to independently investigate three shootings by federal officers, including the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.The lawsuit claims that the federal government reneged on its promise to cooperate with state investigations after the surge of federal law enforcement in Minneapolis, and are seeking a court order demanding that the Trump administration comply. “We are prepared to fight for transparency and accountability that the federal government is desperate to avoid,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty told reporters. The lawsuit marks an...

DENVER — It’s been nearly two months since Renee Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in her car in Minneapolis. Neither President Donald Trump nor any member of his administration has been in touch with Good’s family since, they told NBC News on Thursday. “There’s a reason that we hired our own investigators — to make sure that the truth is transparent and available, to make sure that this is really taken seriously and to make sure that we know what occurred,” Brent Ganger, Good’s brother, said.

The Minneapolis Police Department said it received a report of a suspicious fire at the memorial around 8:46 p.m. Investigators say someone set fire to a pile of wood, damaging some of the items at the site. The fire had been put out by the time officers arrived.

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are detaining and arresting “legal observers” using their vehicles to follow agents during federal immigration enforcement operations. ICE is reportedly detaining and arresting thousands of Minnesota protestors under Title 18, Section 111 of the US Code, which prohibits citizens from interfering with a federal officer conducting official duties, according to Reuters. A recent trend began amongst protestors to follow ICE agents in their vehicles as “legal observers” of federal law enforcement operations following the deadly shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis in January. “When agitators willingly involve themselves and...

A new acronym for liberal white women is gaining traction online, and the New York Times does not appear to be happy about it. The paper published a lengthy piece Friday about the acronym AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. Conservative commentators have used the term to describe liberal women protesting immigration enforcement in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of activist Renee Good by an ICE agent on January 7. The NY Times even contacted the Department of Homeland Security about its growing popularity. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin was unmoved. “I’m more concerned with facts on the...

I had no idea who Ben Bankas was until I heard that all of his sold-out stand-up comedy shows in Minnesota were abruptly canceled. So I had to do a little digging. The internet tells me that he's originally from Toronto, but now based in Austin, Texas, and he has a podcast that's pretty popular, as well as a solid, cult-like following. He regularly sells out shows in the United States, Canada, and Europe. I took a look at his social media pages, and he's actually pretty funny. His humor is dark, just the way I like it, and he's...

When the Trump administration sent some 2,000 immigration agents to the Twin Cities area, they were met by activists who trailed their movements and harassed them outside their hotels. The activists are members of radical groups that together have received millions of dollars from the Left's premier foundations and dark money networks, including George Soros's Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found. At the center of the unrest is the Sunrise Movement, a left-wing group founded to fight climate change that has since directed its local chapters...

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) joins MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell to discuss the escalation in aggressive ICE tactics in Minnesota after Renee Good's fatal shooting.

Rather than teach the three R’s, public schools are more likely to instruct students to believe the liberal narrative rather than their lying eyes regarding the timely demise of Renee Good. Forty-seven miles from Minneapolis, via the New York Post… Becker High School social studies teacher Dr. Heather Abrahamson grew increasingly agitated as she insisted that ICE agent Jonathan Ross used unnecessary deadly force against Good, 37, according to Libs of TikTok, which posted the clip and identified Abrahamson in a Tuesday X post. In addition to informing students that Ross had a duty to let a leftist maniac run...

Eric Cartman instigates killing of Renee Good and laughs evilly.

An ultra-slender Ellen DeGeneres offered her two cents about the recent turmoil occurring in Minneapolis on Sunday. The roughly minute-long missive appeared to be filmed from the former talk show host's $19million UK manse. In it, DeGeneres, 67, took the time criticize United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, while praising protesters she said had 'been hurt just for protesting.' The remarks appeared to be a reference to 37-year-old Renee Good, a Minneapolis woman fatally shot by an ICE agent at a protest on January 7. The incident is currently under investigation and DeGeneres earlier in the day penned...

Bruce Springsteen criticized the ICE surge in Minnesota and the shooting of Renee Good during a surprise show in New Jersey over the weekend, parroting the words of Mayor Jacob Frey in demanding that ICE "get the f--- out of Minneapolis." Springsteen performed a surprise set Saturday night in New Jersey at the Light of Day benefit show. During a set with Joe Grushecky and The Houserockers, he performed his song "The Promised Land" off "Darkness on the Edge of Town" — which he dedicated to Renee Good. SNIP What they're saying: Before the rendition, Springsteen made a statement against...

WASHINGTON — Federal officials are investigating the partner of Renee Nicole Good to determine whether she may have impeded a federal officer moments before he shot and killed Good in Minneapolis, according to two people familiar with the investigation who spoke to NBC News. The federal investigation into the shooting by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross is focusing more on Becca Good, including what officials said were her possible ties to activist groups, and less on Ross’ actions when he fired into Renee Good’s vehicle during an immigration operation last week, the people said. The fatal encounter has...

Student records teacher screaming at class over Renee Good incident!

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who shot Renee Nicole Good dead is now a millionaire after receiving thousands of crowdfunder donations.

Campaign organizer Clyde Emmons branding Good a 'domestic terrorist' and wrote that Ross was '1000 percent justified in the shooting deserves to have a go fund me.' GiveSendGo campaign creator Tom Hennessey called Good 'a radical leftist agitator' and urged 'America First patriots'...

What was Renee Nicole Good thinking when her girlfriend yelled, “Drive baby, drive” and grinning she drove her 4,000 lb Honda Pilot SUV at an armed federal law enforcement officer? Her last thoughts were likely of her imaginary white privilege and why it failed to protect her. Good had supported BLM and had inhaled its mythology of ‘the talk’, the idea that law enforcement is a racist institution, that police started out as ‘slave catchers’ and that they exist to persecute black people while giving white people a pass. This would have come as a surprise to the over 2,000...

That's legal."Civil disobedience is legal? By definition, civil disobedience is the breaking of law, and the willingness to accept the consequences thereof, ostensibly for a higher moral purpose.
