On January 7, 2026, an independent journalist @KanekoaTheGreat posted a viral thread highlighting new video evidence from a deadly confrontation in Minneapolis involving ICE agents and 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.
Good, who reportedly attempted to run over an ICE officer while blocking federal vehicles during an operation, was shot and killed.
The post focuses on footage showing a woman who identifies herself as Good’s wife outside their vehicle, wearing a flannel shirt, actively filming the scene as her partner obstructs ICE officers.
She walks around recording, later rushes back to check on Good after the shooting, and tells a bystander, “That’s my wife,” adding, “We’re new here. I don’t have people… I can’t even breathe right now.”
The man in the video questions the wife’s actions: Why was she filming outside the car during the blockade? The thread suggests the couple intentionally participated in a protest to impede ICE, with follow-up posts citing a witness describing Good as “the main car leading the protest” and “very successful in blocking traffic,” confirming her goal was to obstruct federal officers.
Replies amplify suspicions of premeditated agitation, noting out-of-state (Missouri) plates and claims of being “new” to the area, implying possible paid provocateurs. The incident underscores tensions over immigration enforcement, with critics arguing such obstructions endanger agents and stem from inflammatory rhetoric.
The original post garnered over 19,000 likes and 1.8 million views within hours, sparking debate on protest tactics versus law enforcement duties.
