‘ICE Watch’ Activists Aren’t ‘Legal Observers,’ They’re Criminal Obstructors
Ben Weingarten
In the wake of the shooting of reported Minnesota ICE Watch “warrior” Renee Nicole Good, Democrats and leftist activists immediately rushed to her defense, dubbing her a “legal observer.”
By invoking this title, Trump administration critics cast Good not only as an innocent bystander, but one enjoying specially protected status, wantonly murdered by the very anti-immigrant army whose presumed misconduct she was there to record. They persistently pursue this narrative rather than acknowledge Good’s role as an instigator who impeded a federal law enforcement operation and disobeyed officers’ commands, before threatening to run one over with her SUV while fleeing, and tragically lost her life for it.
This deception has a purpose that transcends cynical attempts to spark a George Floyd 2.0 conflagration and delegitimize nationwide surges of ICE officers — surges compelled by Democrats’ sanctuary policies. It has the effect of covering up the fact that Good needlessly died, in effect, as a pawn of a revolutionary anti-American movement. This movement not only fuels an insurrection against authorities laboring to reverse the effects of President Biden’s open border policies; it also seeks to eviscerate our sovereignty and bring the republic to its knees.
In truth, a “legal observer” is not the equivalent of a poll watcher for protests. Observers need not have obtained formal certification, let alone a J.D. More saliently, they are not neutral. Nor are they necessarily opposed to breaking the law.
