MINNEAPOLIS — Anti-ICE lefties dug in their heels Friday and continued to accuse the federal agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good of “murder” — despite new video showing her wife egging on ICE agents and telling her wife to “drive, baby, drive!” even when she was instructed to get out of her car.
Protests raged for the third day since Immigrants and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross opened fire on Good, 37, after she and her wife Rebecca Good got into a heated dispute with agents on the ground in the Twin Cities.
“Even if he did fear for his life or self-defense … he needs to be charged with something. At this point, I feel like he murdered that woman,” protester Shana Hunsucker, 39, said after reviewing the latest video outside the Whipple federal building — where demonstrators derided federal agents to their face.

“You can’t just kill someone and get away with it,” she added.
“Regardless of what video they put out, he needs to go to jail or be charged with something.”
The new video that was taken by Ross, and first shared by Alpha News, shows Renee in the driver’s seat of her plum-colored Honda and Rebecca outside the car on the street antagonizing ICE officers, at one point telling Ross, “You wanna come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy. Go ahead.”
The tense situation reached a deadly crescendo when another ICE agent instructed Renee to get out of her SUV, prompting her to reverse and then hit the gas, as her wife encouraged her to flee.
“Drive, baby, drive, drive!” Rebecca yelled.
Ross fires off three shots as Renee drove away, fatally striking the mom of three.

At the Whipple Building, lefty protesters unleashed on the feds, angrily chanting, “You’re all Nazis.”
“This is America,” one protester shouted.
“We fight Nazis in America.”
At the vigil on the block where Good was killed, the scene was more restrained but frustration and sorrow simmered.

After watching the new video, retired nonprofit consultant Bruce Binger noted, “There’s a lot more engagement in that one but I still don’t see where what she did was at all threatening.
“I don’t think verbal abuse is a problem. It doesn’t warrant shooting at somebody,” he added.
Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — who have denounced the shooting, placing the blame squarely at Department of Homeland Security’s feet — did not return emails seeking comment about the new video.
But other Dems, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, challenged Vice President JD Vance’s claim that the new footage proves the agent’s life was in danger.
Here’s the latest on the Minneapolis ICE agent shooting:
“How could anyone on the planet watch this video and conclude what @JDVance says below?” Schumer posted on X.
“This whole administration – from [DHS Sec. Kristi] Noem to Trump – is lying to you. We demand justice NOW.”
Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth said on X that the newest video shows Ross “wasn’t in danger.”
“One of Trump’s agents killed someone for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, then called her a ‘f-cking b-tch,’” she claimed in reference to a male voice in the background who can be heard hurling the expletives.
