DOJ Investigating Wife of Renee Nicole Good

truthbasedmedia.com

Federal authorities have opened a criminal investigation into Rebecca Good, the widow of Renee Nicole Good, examining whether her actions contributed to the chaos that led to her wife’s death at the hands of an ICE agent earlier this month. The inquiry centers on Rebecca’s presence at the scene and her possible encouragement during the standoff, as detailed in reports from sources close to the matter. This development comes less than two weeks after the January 7 incident in Minneapolis, where Renee, a 37-year-old trained left-wing protester, lost her life after hitting an ICE officer with her vehicle.

Witness accounts and video footage paint a picture of escalating tension on that morning. Renee had positioned her SUV to block ICE vehicles during an enforcement operation, a move officials later described as deliberate obstruction. As agents approached, Rebecca, standing nearby with her phone, called out, “Drive, baby, drive, drive.” Renee then accelerated, striking agent Jonathan Ross and prompting him to fire multiple shots. Renee suffered fatal wounds to her chest, arm, and head, while Ross required hospitalization for internal bleeding.

The Department of Homeland Security quickly labeled Renee a “domestic terrorist” who had weaponized her vehicle against law enforcement, insisting Ross acted in self-defense. Rebecca, in the aftermath, was heard sobbing, “It’s my fault,” as captured in recordings from the site.

Rebecca’s attorney, Antonio Ramanucci, has pushed back against the probe, stating, “There has been no contact from the FBI or federal officials indicating Becca Good is the subject of an investigation.” The family has since retained lawyers known for handling high-profile civil rights cases, including those involved in the George Floyd matter, signaling their intent to challenge the official account through legal channels.

This investigation into Rebecca is part of a broader Justice Department effort amid rising unrest in Minnesota. Separately, federal prosecutors are scrutinizing Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for potentially conspiring to hinder ICE operations. Their public criticisms of the federal surge—nearly 3,000 additional agents deployed to the area—and calls for residents to report ICE sightings have drawn sharp rebukes from DOJ officials.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche noted, “When the governor or the mayor threaten our officers, when the mayor suggests that he’s encouraging citizens to call 911 when they see ICE officers, that is very close to a federal crime.”

The fallout from the shooting has ignited widespread protests, some turning violent, with clashes between demonstrators and federal agents. Reports indicate organized efforts to disrupt deportations, including roadblocks and harassment of officers, raising suspicions of coordinated resistance backed by activist networks and possibly sympathetic local leaders. In one instance, a woman was arrested for doxxing Ross online, exposing his personal details and calling for crowds to surround his home—a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those enforcing immigration laws.

Public opinion appears divided, with polls showing a majority viewing the shooting as unjustified, though supporters of stricter border control argue such incidents stem from deliberate defiance of authority. Renee, an award-winning poet and self-described “anti-ICE warrior,” had ties to insurgency groups opposing deportations, which some see as part of a larger pattern of undermining national security efforts.

As these probes unfold, they test the balance between local autonomy and federal mandates in an era of heightened immigration enforcement. Critics of Walz and Frey suggest their stance encourages lawlessness, potentially emboldening more blockades and confrontations.

In the end, this tragedy serves as a call to remember the human cost of division, urging a return to principles of order and respect for those tasked with protecting our borders.
