Tim Walz Visits Scene Where Woman Rammed ICE Officer In Minneapolis

Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz and his wife appeared on Monday at the scene where a woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent last week after striking him with her vehicle.

“At the crime scene investigation where Renee Good was shot…we believe we saw Gov. Walz’s wife with him as well,” said Fox News reporter Matt Finn during a segment on “The Faulkner Focus” with host Harris Faulkner.

Many on social media slammed Walz for showing up at the scene.

“No, that is what pandering looks like. If he had not put in place policies that prevented the cops from doing crowd control, this would never have happened,” one user wrote.

“The guy who allowed billions of taxpayer dollars to be stolen by Somalians and sent to Al-Shabab terrorists is not ‘true leadership,’” another wrote.

“Walz is literally going to be investigated for fraud, and you want to grandstand leadership. His political career is finished; this is the pinnacle,” a third user wrote.

The wife of Renee Good, the Minneapolis woman who was shot and killed by an ICE agent last week after striking him with her vehicle, is speaking out. In a statement to Minnesota Public Radio, Becca Good wrote that Renee “was made of sunshine.”

Becca claimed that she and Renee merely dropped by “ICE protests” to support their neighbors. “We had whistles. They had guns,” she said.

She did not, however, address Renee’s left-wing activist history or the fact that she was part of an organization that tracked and, ultimately, harassed ICE agents during the performance of their duties – an activity that, ultimately, led to her death.

According to the New York Post, ICE Watch is a leftist activist group that Renee was involved with. The organization focuses on tracking and resisting immigration enforcement operations through mobile apps and a rapid response hotline.

The local branch, Minnesota ICE Watch, describes itself as “an autonomous collective dedicated to documenting, archiving, and resisting ICE, police, and all colonial militarized regimes,” as stated on its Instagram page.

The group encourages activists to report “tips and sightings” of ICE agents 24 hours a day, seven days a week, via its Instagram account, MN ICE Watch.

Group organizers implore members and others in communities to report sightings with details about “how many agents are present” and if “they are detaining/ kidnapping someone” along with where they are operating, according to the Instagram page.

They also ask operatives to list “what weapons” agents are carrying along with “what vehicles are they present with.” A repost recently promoted training on “how to stand with…neighbors and assert their rights against these illegal injustices across MN and the rest of the Midwest!”

The group, which has chapters nationwide including in New York City, does not appear to explicitly instruct activists to interfere with arrests.

The Minnesota chapter, however, reportedly promoted an Instagram post that outlined how to “de-arrest” an individual.

As for Becca Good, video circulating on social media shows her antagonizing what appears to be the ICE agent who shot Renee:

Federal officials maintain the officer fired after Good’s vehicle moved toward agents during a law enforcement operation, a characterization defended by Homeland Security leadership as necessary to protect lives, and which appears to be substantiated by the video above.

Critics — mostly Democratic local officials and Good’s family — contend the use of deadly force was unjustified and have questioned the federal account of events. But many law enforcement officers and ranking officials disagree.
