The Minneapolis Shooting: The Facts

The Minneapolis ICE shooting story has been evolving the way these stories always do – but not in the direction that the Left would prefer.
It’s clear that the Left wanted another George Floyd martyrdom, one that would cripple Trump administration efforts to maintain the law and possibly even lead to nationwide disturbances like those that marred the summer of 2020. A kindly lesbian “mother of three,” fresh-faced and smiling, cut down for no reason beside her horrified “wife” by a masked, black-clad ICE agent looking as if he’d lurched his way out of a Road Warrior sequel.
But now is not then, and unfortunately for the Left, this narrative has steadily fallen apart as the week has progressed.
The original videos were ambiguous at best, many of them taken from so far away they may as well have been shot from the surface of Mars. But now we have a complete video taken by ICE agent Jonathan Ross himself, who -- smart man -- was holding his cell phone during the entire encounter. This shows Renee Nicole Good, dressed much as you might expect, shouting something at Ross (the audio here is not very clear) as he circles her car. Rebecca Good then appears, demanding that Ross remove his mask, along with other disparaging remarks. (“Why don’t you go get lunch, big boy?”) She opens the car door as Ross orders the two of them to “get out” no less than three times. (At no point does he order them to drive off, as legacy media has reported.)
Rebecca Good shouts, “Drive, baby, drive,” just as Ross passes the front of the car. Renee Good immediately accelerates (it appears that she turns the wheel to steer toward Ross as well, though that’s not completely clear) and audibly strikes Ross. He then fires a shot before stumbling out of the way.
Clearly, this was a deliberate attempt to run Ross down, one in which Rebecca Good played a key role. (She admitted as much directly afterward, crying out that it was “her fault.”) She needs to be indicted.
*It turns out that Ross, again in his role as an ICE officer, was injured by a car driven by an illegal last June. Roberto Carlos Munoz, an illegal with a heavy rap sheet (including sex crimes against an underage victim), attempted to drive off while Ross had one arm inside the car. Ross was dragged over a hundred yards. A wound to his arm required 33 stitches. No wonder he was skittish about cars with dubious hands at the wheel.
*Both Renee and Rebecca Good had received training from anti-ICE group Minnesota ICE Watch on the most effective methods of resisting ICE officers and “de-arresting” illegals. The group bills itself as “an autonomous collective documenting, archiving, and resisting against ICE, Police, and all Colonial Militarized Regimes.” It runs a hotline where people can call in sightings of ICE operations so that members can show up to obstruct them. It’s evidently part of a national network. Who organized and funded the network is not yet known.
*At the end of the week, Homeland Security released a memo detailing repeated efforts to attack ICE officers and other officials using automobiles while tying it in to the rhetoric being heard from Tim Walz, Jacob Frey, J.B. Pritzker, and numerous other Democrat politicians.
According to Homeland Defense:
From January 21, 2025 – January 7, 2026, ICE law enforcement officers experienced 66 vehicular attacks against them, compared to only 2 during the same time period the previous year. This is a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks.
