EXCLUSIVE: Renee Nicole Good tied to VIOLENT extremist group?
Renee Nicole Good, the woman who was shot and killed by an ICE officer while driving her car at him, wasn’t just reportedly tied to a violent extremist group.
Good was a dedicated anti-ICE activist and mother of three who was putting her 6-year-old son into a charter school that boasts that social justice is the school’s number-one priority and prioritizes involving children in political and social activism.
According to counterterrorism expert and investigative researcher Ryan Mauro, this charter school is likely how Good first stumbled upon Minnesota ICE Watch.
“It was actually fairly easy research to do, because they were openly radical. It turned out this isn’t really about the issue of protecting undocumented migrants, illegal immigrants, and protecting people from the abuse of the law enforcement,” Mauro tells Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on “The Glenn Beck Program.”
“It’s actually about doing things like eliminating America and setting cop cars on fire. You go to their social media page, and it doesn’t take much work, actually, to find instructions on how to assault police in order to free people, open up cop car doors, and pull people out,” Mauro says.
“They do not recognize the United States as a legitimate country. They have posts that refer to it as Turtle Island,” he adds.
“Oh my gosh, they’re Turtle Island people,” Glenn laughs.
“Turtle Island — I’m not even sure it has a ton of merit, but it goes to this belief that a lot of the anarchists and communists spread out there, saying that just like Israel should be referred to as Palestine, then all of North and Central America should be referred to as Turtle Island, because they say that the indigenous people, the Native Americans, that’s what they all referred to it as,” Mauro explains.
“I’m not finding a ton of verification that that’s actually true. But that’s what they say, in order to basically indirectly call for the destruction of the United States. … And so when they start talking about ‘liberating Turtle Island,’ that’s what they’re calling for,” he continues.
And while social media posts from Minnesota ICE Watch will have a simple caption like, “How to start a community defense center in your neighborhood,” the photograph accompanying it will be “a cop car on fire.”
“So when they say to set up your community defense center in your local neighborhood, that’s a violent intention. That’s how you build an insurgency,” Mauro tells Glenn, who points out that in a fiery speech after the shooting, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) began “empowering and activating a neighborhood revolutionary guard.”
“This is a group that is telling you as neighbors, ‘Here’s how we get together and protect your neighborhood from these evil police,’” Glenn says. “This is what’s happening, and the governor is encouraging it and speaking the same language.”

‘REVOLTING LIES!’ DHS obliterates media framing of gang-affiliated illegal aliens shot in Portland as ‘married couple’
The Department of Homeland Security has gone after numerous news outlets for offering a sympathetic portrayal of two illegal aliens who were shot by federal agents in Portland on Thursday.
One article was posted to social media by KPFQ on Friday and was immediately assailed by the official DHS account for referring to the illegal aliens as a “married couple.” The article was sourced from CNN, which also faced the wrath of the DHS.
‘The driver of the vehicle, Luis David Nico Moncada[,] is a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela and suspected Tren de Aragua GANG MEMBER.’
The man and woman were shot during an operation by federal officers who were later identified as agents of U.S. Border Patrol.
The DHS released a statement indicating that the two illegal aliens were affiliated with the dangerous Tren de Aragua criminal gang and that the vehicle driver swerved to hit agents before they were shot. The pair were hospitalized.
On Friday, the DHS lambasted CNN for continuing to describe the pair as a “married couple” and to downplay their alleged gang affiliation.
“REVOLTING LIES!” the agency said about a video of CNN’s report.
DHS went on to say that the couple was better described as a gang member and “his prostitute” rather than an “innocent” married couple.
“The driver of the vehicle, Luis David Nico Moncada[,] is a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela and suspected Tren de Aragua GANG MEMBER,” the agency wrote. “He illegally entered the U.S. in 2022 and was RELEASED into the country by the Biden administration. Since then, he was arrested for DUI and unauthorized use of a vehicle. He has a final order of removal.”
The DHS identified the passenger as Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras and said she had been involved in a prior shooting. She was also affiliated with the Tren de Aragua gang and had an active role in the prostitution ring.
The DHS account scolded KQFX-TV for the same report, which was sourced from CNN.
KIRO-TV reported that hundreds of activists protested the shooting at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland. Portland Police arrested six people at that protest.
The Portland shooting came one day after the controversial lethal shooting of a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by an ICE agent. The woman had driven her car into the agent, and he shot her in self-defense.

‘Don’t make a bad decision’: ICE officer warns smug leftists allegedly trailing agents in their SUVs
Tensions are running high in Minneapolis after an ICE officer shot and killed a leftist who struck him with her vehicle on Wednesday.
Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three who was part of the local “ICE Watch,” had reportedly been trailing ICE agents in her SUV. Good was later confronted by an ICE officer who ordered her to exit her vehicle. She refused to cooperate, then turned and accelerated her vehicle toward another agent, who fatally shot her.
‘Don’t interfere.’
Just days after the shooting, ICE agents were filmed confronting another leftist woman in an SUV, pleading with her not to “make a bad decision.”
“If I continually see you following us, interfering with us, honking your horn, blocking our cars, you’ll have a very high probability of making a really bad decision of being arrested today,” the ICE officer warned.

The woman gave a smug response to the agent’s warning, telling him to have a “terrible day.”
“Well, bad decisions, that’s funny coming from you,” she said. After the agent told her to “have a great day,” she replied with, “I hope you have a terrible day.”
The officer walked away from her car to speak with another woman sitting in the passenger seat of an SUV that had allegedly been trailing the officers. The woman filmed the officer but refused to lower her window to speak with him as a car horn blared in the background.

“Don’t make a bad decision today,” the officer told the other leftist. “Don’t interfere.”
