Minneapolis Public Schools CANCELS In-Person Classes After Fatal Shooting of Renee Nicole Good

This article was originally published by Lance D Johnson at Natural News. 

• • Minneapolis Public Schools canceled in-person classes and offered remote learning following the fatal ICE shooting of American citizen Renee Nicole Good, citing safety concerns.

• • Officials cited an “abundance of caution” due to “incidents all around the city.”

• • Federal ICE officials claim the shooting was made in self-defense, alleging Good attempted to use her vehicle as a weapon—a narrative vehemently rejected by local officials and eyewitnesses.

• • If Good really wanted to use her vehicle as a weapon (if that was her intent), she could have run over Agent Ross when he was previously circling her vehicle.

• • Instead, she turned her wheels to the right, even as Agent Ross kept putting himself in front of her vehicle.

• • Renee eventually accelerated away from the intimidating scene when she was ordered to step out of her vehicle by another agent marching toward her driver’s side window.

• • The FBI has taken sole control of the investigation, barring local law enforcement from investigation, raising serious doubts about a fair and transparent probe, with potential for a federal cover-up story to justify further ICE missions on U.S. streets.

• • Political figures are pushing conflicting narratives, with Vice President JD Vance claiming the officer has “absolute immunity,” while local prosecutors assert they retain jurisdiction to press charges.

• • President Trump claimed that Agent Ross was struck by the vehicle, and it was “hard to believe” he was alive, although the agent appeared to be completely fine after shooting Renee and remaining on his feet through the incident.

• • Trump doubled down on his disdain for the deceased woman, blasting her for “behaving horribly.”

• • No matter how triggered the ICE agent was by the protesters, he was not in any imminent danger, and Renee’s alleged “behaving horribly” is not a justification for a federal ICE agent to shoot her in the face.

• • Trump’s Truth Social post claimed that “the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting,” and claimed she “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer,” despite multiple videos showing there to be scant evidence for his claim.

• • Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, responded aggressively after the fatal incident, falsely claiming that Renee Good was a “domestic terrorist,” and the agent “used his training to save his own life and that of his colleagues.”

• • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, 44, slammed the federal narrative as “garbage,” and demanded that ICE “get the f–k out” of the city.

• • Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura traveled to Minneapolis to show his support for the people, referring to modern-day ICE operations as a “Gestapo” akin to a “third world country.”

• • The incident has ignited national outrage and protests, highlighting deep tensions over federal enforcement tactics and the erosion of public trust.

ICE agent makes critical mistake, taking the life of an American woman

The cold streets of Minneapolis are figuratively stained with the blood of an American citizen, a 37-year-old mother named Renee Nicole Good. She was shot in the skull multiple times by a masked federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent named Jonathan Ross. Right before he took the shots, agent Ross was busy circling Renee Good’s vehicle, recording the incident from what appears to be a cell phone of his own.

More key observations:

• • A protester outside the vehicle was confronting Agent Ross in the lead-up to the fatal incident, and neither person seemed to be afraid of the other.

• • Renee’s driver’s side window was down, and her last words to Agent Ross were, “It’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.”

• • During the encounter, a vehicle passes in front of Renee’s vehicle; so while her vehicle was in an obstructive position in the lane, she was not obstructing traffic completely.

• • If law enforcement wanted to give Renee a traffic violation or obstruction charge, they could have made their intentions clear.

• • Agent Ross was in a position to speak up about potential charges or de-escalate a situation, but he chose to intimidate and use deadly violence instead.

• • In fact, agent Ross circles the vehicle in a mask and paramilitary outfit, surveilling Renee in a passive-aggressive manner without identifying himself.

• • When Renee decides to disregard an agent’s orders and instead flee in her vehicle, Agent Ross opens fire from his position from the front corner of the vehicle (driver’s side).

• • It appears Agent Ross may have been bumped by the front left bumper of the vehicle.

• • Agent Ross could have easily stepped back in that moment instead of taking multiple shots to Renee’s skull.

• • Agent Ross’s life was not in any immediate danger, and observing by the position of Renee’s vehicle tires and its eventual trajectory to the right, it seems as if she was fleeing further confrontation from the agent coming up aggressively to her driver’s side window.

• • Instead of complying with the second agent’s orders, Renee positions her vehicle tires to the right and decides to flee.

• • In this moment, agent Ross (who was positioned in the right front of the vehicle) decides to open fire, with his cell phone video clamoring while his gunshots ring out.

• • Renee’s vehicle speeds off to the right and crashes into another vehicle down the street, after the shots fatally hit their mark.

• • At least one shot enters the corner of the front windshield (driver’s side, near the bottom).

• • Agent Ross (10-year veteran of ICE) opened fire on Renee’s vehicle against traditional policing standards.

• • Most police departments and federal guidance bar shooting at a moving vehicle unless the driver poses an imminent threat of deadly force beyond the car itself.

• • Experts say firing at a moving car is one of the riskiest forms of lethal force, increasing the chance of stray gunfire or a loss of vehicle control that can endanger bystanders.

• • Agent Ross has a history of altercations with other protesters and their vehicles, with reports claiming he was previously dragged by a vehicle last summer in another incident of escalation.

A federal cover-up on the way?

The official story from ICE crumbles under scrutiny. Federal authorities claim their officers were “conducting targeted operations” when “rioters” interfered. They allege Renee Good “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them,” forcing an officer to fire “defensive shots.” This language is deliberately incendiary, designed to dehumanize the victim and justify lethal force before any facts are established, and with video evidence showing that deadly force was not warranted.

Perhaps the most telling indicator of an impending cover-up of this murder is the immediate seizure of the investigation by the FBI, which explicitly cut out local law enforcement. Governor Tim Walz expressed pessimism about a “fair outcome” from a federal probe without local involvement. Senator Tina Smith condemned the move as “unacceptable,” asking the piercing question: “How can you trust that there would be a fair and unbiased investigation?” She noted that authorities labeled Renee a “domestic terrorist before they even knew her name.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Vice President JD Vance boldly declared the shooting officer, Jonathan Ross, is “protected by absolute immunity.” This statement is a chilling proclamation of federal impunity. However, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty fired back, asserting that prosecutors “do have jurisdiction” and that the officer does not possess “complete immunity.” This legal tug-of-war exposes the central conflict: a federal government attempting to place its agents above state law, creating a privileged class immune from consequence.

Renee Nicole Good was a 37-year-old American woman. She was a mother. Her life was extinguished on a Wednesday morning by a federal agent. Now, her memory is being dragged through the mud by a government quick to label her a “left-wing” “domestic terrorist” and a rioter. This story is developing.
