It’s the story dominating headlines across America Wednesday night: an anti-ICE activist refused to heed law enforcement personnel’s orders to exit her vehicle — which was blocking the road in an attempt to impede a federal operation — and instead jammed the accelerator and struck an officer. He fired back, killing her.
The opposing views on what went down are stark: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the deceased driver, now identified as 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good, a “domestic terrorist” and said ICE agents were entirely justified in their actions. Meanwhile, leftists like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz framed the tragedy as entirely the fault of ICE for provoking the situation and then overreacting. New York City’s new socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani went so far as to flat-out call it “murder.“
Videos of the incident have flooded social media, as both sides tailor their interpretations to fit their narrative. One of those recordings purports to show the self-proclaimed wife of Good videotaping the incident and cheering on her spouse even as tragedy struck.
Profanity alert:

Although authorities have not verified the video, the above poster accurately describes what is shown, even though he does not describe the screaming and horror of the moment:
She is seen wearing a flannel shirt, walking around the vehicle and recording ICE officers.
She later runs back to the vehicle to check on Renee.
Afterward, she tells a nearby man, “That’s my wife.”
When he asks if she knows any of her wife’s relatives she could call, she responds, “We’re new here. I don’t have people… I can’t even breathe right now.”
Why was she outside the vehicle filming while her wife was blocking ICE officers?

Meanwhile, in another video that can be seen at the NY Post website, what appears to be the same woman can be seen crying in the aftermath and lamenting that it was her fault. According to the outlet, the woman was seen in numerous other clips from before and after the deadly incident, and had been seen closely following federal agents and filming them.
A blood-covered woman who identified herself as the wife of Renee Nicole Good hysterically blamed herself for her partner’s killing at the hands of ICE agents, gut-wrenching footage shows.
The woman was filmed distraught and sobbing just steps from Good’s wrecked car in Minneapolis Wednesday morning, as a neighbor who heard the commotion asked her what happened.
“I made her come down here, it’s my fault,” the woman said through sobs. “They just shot my wife.”

It seems like with many of the anti-ICE protests across the nation, demonstrators appear to treat the whole thing as some sort of game, a challenge, a badge of honor. ICE is not playing around, however, and sooner or later, a tragedy like this was bound to happen. This whole thing could have been prevented if the two women hadn’t tried to thwart a large crew of heavily armed officers from doing their jobs.
This is what endless leftist violent rhetoric has brought us.
Is there a single Democrat who has come out and said that, in light of this shooting, activists should avoid confrontations with and provocations against ICE agents?
Just one?

Editor’s Note: Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws.
