ICE agent shoots, kills Minneapolis Protester Renee Good: Episode 36

An ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old mother Renee Good, a U.S. citizen who was protesting the presence of #ICE in #Minneapolis on Jan. 7, 2026; Good was parked in the center of the street and drove her car into the ICE officer, as she puts the car into drive and then appears to be leaving the scene. Three shots ring out and hit Good in her car, while bystanders scream. Prior, the agent tells Good to "get out of the car" several times, which she does not obey. Good's partner was also on the scene, recording the protest, and is heard urging Good to "drive baby drive." A widely-circulated and polarizing video soon emerged, filmed by a bystander; it was then followed by a second video (cellphone footage from the perspective of the ICE agent). Both videos show the agent being clipped by Good's car, as she attempts to leave the scene, but raise serious questions about the officer's justification in using deadly force against Good — and whether he had reason to believe his life was at risk. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and President #Trump both claim that Good "ran over" the officer, with DHS labeling the incident as an act of domestic terrorism. Right-leaning commentators have also called Good a professional agitator. Public reaction has largely been anger and outrage toward ICE, including protests in cities like DC and Minneapolis, though the Trump Administration and DHS defend the ICE agent's actions as self-defense — in response to what he perceived to be a threat to his life. Officials later stated (after this episode recorded) that the ICE agent went to the hospital after the shooting and was treated for internal bleeding. In other news, the Iranian regime is facing serious pushback from its citizens, leading to a crackdown in the streets of #Iran. Mainstream media asserts that the U.S. and President Trump are actively deciding whether to intervene militarily or even topple the theocratic government, just one week after raiding and arresting Venezuela's President, Nicolas Maduro.
