Renee Good Gave Her Life To Protect Killers From ICE Arrest

Calling all rational Americans: Here are the thieves, child rapists, and murderers the left’s latest false martyr was fighting for. 

Renee Good, the 37-year-old radical fatally shot last week by the Immigration & Customs Enforcement agent she appears to have struck with her SUV, was part of a leftist resistance movement that tried to stop ICE from arresting criminal illegal immigrants like Hernan Cortes-Balencia. The Mexican foreign national, who had a final order of removal dating back more than nine years, has been convicted of sexual assault against a child, sexual assault-carnal abuse and four DUI’s, according to DHS. 

And then there’s Sriudorn Phaivan, a criminal illegal alien from Laos. Phaivan, outstayed his welcome by nearly eight years. He’s a felon with a long rap sheet, including strongarm sodomy of a boy, strongarm sodomy of a girl, another aggravated sex offense, nine counts of larceny, four counts of fraud, vehicle theft, and two counts of drug possession. 

These are the people Good and her loudmouth lesbian partner — who screamed “Drive, baby! Drive!” just before the activist hit the gas and lost her life — were attempting to impede ICE from arresting. And Renee Good, accused of “domestic terrorism,” is now suddenly a hero to the thousands taking to the streets and calling for federal law enforcement officers to get the “f – – – out” of their cities. 

Lawlessness and disorder. That’s what these leftists are standing up for.

“Some of these criminal aliens have had final orders of removal for 30 years, but they’ve been free to terrorize Minnesotans,” said ICE Director Todd M. Lyons, in a press release. “ICE’s arrests prevent recidivism and make communities safer, but it feels like local politicians want to ignore that part and drum up discontent rather than protect their own constituents.”

‘A Space of Mourning’ (STFU!)

Minnesota far-left politicians, including Gov. Tim Walz, who would like to talk about anything other than the multi-billion-dollar welfare fraud scandal he’s presided over, have been stoking the flames of violence against immigration law enforcers for a long time. In May, Walz called ICE agents President Donald “Trump’s modern-day Gestapo.” 

On Monday, Walz took a photo-op tour of the makeshift memorial for Renee Good, the left’s latest martyr. WCCO Radio reported that a sign at the site declared, “You are in the Central neighborhood of Minneapolis. The block you are entering has become a space of mourning.” Would the same liberals — including Walz and Jacob Frey, Minneapolis’ left-wing shill of a mayor, be in mourning if Good had killed the ICE agent? Or even dragged him and injured him like a criminal illegal alien did last summer in suburban Minneapolis? Of course not. 

“We’re better together than we are divided,” one person at the memorial told WCCO Radio. “There’s a beauty, there’s beauty in diversity, but it’s hard when we’re divided.” Yes, calling federal law enforcement agents modern-day Gestapo and attacking them for defending themselves from being run over by hate-filled activists has a way of creating division. 

The protesters, many of them much less than “mostly peaceful,” reflexively stand against the same ICE agents who have cleared Minneapolis streets from criminal illegal aliens such as Gabriel Figueroa Gama, who was previously removed from the U.S. in 2002, according to DHS. He was later convicted of homicide, battery, assault and amphetamine possession. Or Abdirashid Mohamed Ahmed, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia, with a conviction record that includes two counts of negligent manslaughter with a vehicle, two counts of DUI, larceny and damage to property. Where were the protests and “spaces of mourning” for these victims of illegal immigrant crime? 

And the list of human scum and villainy goes on and on. 

‘We Will Hold Them Accountable’

“Regardless of staged political theatrics, ICE is going to continue to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota and elsewhere,” Lyons said. 

Indeed. 

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News over the weekend that hundreds more federal law enforcement agents were heading to Minnesota. 

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced on Monday that the state and the Twin Cities have filed a lawsuit seeking to remove ICE agents from the leftist enclaves. Ellison, who has his own legal troubles in Minnesota’s welfare fraud scandal, sounded the left’s usual baseless accusations of racism and threats to democracy. 

“We allege that the obvious targeting of Minnesota for our diversity, for our democracy and our differences of opinion with the federal government, is a violation of the Constitution and federal law,” the former deputy Democratic National Committee chair claimed Monday at a press conference, standing alongside the sanctuary city mayors. 

Such incendiary rhetoric will do nothing to calm the fever-dream minds of the organized and well-funded protesters beating the drum for violence against ICE and those that support immigration law enforcement. 

Noem said the federal officers will not be deterred from doing their jobs, even as violence against ICE and Border Patrol agents soars. 

“If they conduct violent activities against law enforcement, if they impede our operations, that’s a crime, and we will hold them accountable to those consequences,” said the secretary in the interview on Fox News.
