A great deal of media coverage of the events in Minneapolis is marred by a bad-faith framing of the events that ultimately seek to blame the ICE agent and ICE policy for the unfortunate death of Renee Nicole Good. Case in point, Jake Tapper’s interview of Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) on an extended State of the Union.
It occurred to me yesterday that what we’re seeing online and in the streets in reaction to the shooting of Renee Good is very familiar. And then it occurred to me why. What we’re seeing is the Black Lives Matter playbook.
Think about it for a moment. Going back years to the start of Black Lives Matter the organization established a particular way of operating. They would identify a shooting, usually involving a white police officer and a black suspect, and they would quickly nationalize the outrage and demand justice for this individual. Activists would rush to television cameras demanding everyone say his name (or her name) and then there would be organized street protests against law enforcement, often making some demands.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has handed over to Fox News a chilling list of the most heinous criminal illegal aliens arrested during a recent surge operation in Minnesota.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s racist, anti-immigrant policies are cruel – though sadly, no longer unusual – for a nation that once welcomed the “huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” His administration is making the Emma Lazarus poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty reek with hypocrisy.
Mr. Trump’s zeal for mass deportation has subjected people to callous detention conditions, as U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE)’s dragnet captures thousands who aren’t the criminals he promised to expel. In many cases, they’re also not migrants or asylum seekers – and in some, including the killing by an ICE officer of Renee Nicole Macklin Good in a residential area in Minneapolis, the consequences of these raids have been deadly.
The video would be too long to share the entire list, but here’s nearly 5 minutes worth.
Minnesota leftists protest in favour of immigration fraud and illegal alien crime
The Trump administration announced it is suspending $129m in federal benefit payments to Minnesota amid allegations of widespread fraud in the state.
The secretary of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Brooke Rollins, shared a letter on Friday on social media that was addressed to Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz, and the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, notifying them of the administration’s decision and citing investigations into alleged fraud conducted by local non-profits and businesses.
“Despite a staggering, wide-reaching fraud scandal, your administrations refuse to provide basic information or take common sense measures to stop fraud. The Trump administration refuses to allow such fraud to continue,” Rollins wrote.
Venezuelan gangsters Luis David Nico Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras
The married Tren de Aragua gangbangers who were shot after they tried to mow down ICE agents in Portland were let loose by the Biden administration despite lengthy rap sheets, Homeland Security officials said.
A CBP agent opened fire on Venezuelan gangsters Luis David Nico Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras after they “weaponized” their car fleeing a traffic stop Thursday, said a DHS statement.
When Leftist Renee Good hit an ICE agent in Minneapolis yesterday, it wasn’t the first time ICE agents were the targets of vehicle rammings. Cars are deadly weapons, and there’s plenty of legal precedent to justify the ICE agent shooting Good after she struck him with her vehicle.

AS SIR Keir Starmer slithers back into the saddle of his lacklustre leadership, there has been a deluge of messages from No 10. The sort of messages that presumably are supposed to instil a warm glow in the populace and inspire them to heave to and look forward to a sunnier future. What the circling sharks of Starmer’s own party think of his messaging remains to be seen.
Federal agents allegedly shot two people in Oregon Thursday afternoon – just one day after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent gunned down anti-ICE activist Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota during a chaotic caught-on-camera operation, according to cops.
An unidentified man and woman were both found with gunshot wounds near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside Street in Portland around 2:20 p.m. local time, after the man called authorities for help, according to the Portland Police Department.
BREAKING: A U.S. Border Patrol agent shot two Venezuelan illegal alien Tren de Aragua gang members during a targeted vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon, after the driver weaponized the vehicle and attempted to run over the agents in a bid to flee.
BREAKING: DHS confirmed to me that the person shot by border agents in Portland, Oregon was a Venezuelan illegal affiliated with the Tren de Aragua gang.
DHs tells me the driver attempted to RUN OVER the agent and the agent fired in self defense.
The Minneapolis woman shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent during a deadly confrontation Wednesday likely committed a serious felony offense — even if she did not intend to ram the federal officer with her vehicle, according to a former federal prosecutor and legal scholar.
Andrew C. McCarthy, the former chief assistant United States attorney in the Southern District of New York, noted that to him, video footage of the events leading up to the shooting does not appear to show Renee Nicole Good, 37, trying to intentionally run over the ICE agent who fired the fatal shots.

President Trump says video of an ICE officer fatally shooting a woman — later identified as Renee Nicole Good, 37 — in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning is “a horrible thing to watch” but says the woman “viciously ran over the ICE officer,” a claim disputed by witnesses.
The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, used a coarse expression to describe any claim of self-defense. ICE officers have flooded the city in recent days in show of force, and Homeland Security says they were carrying out “targeted operations” on Wednesday when the deadly confrontation played out.
A woman has been shot and killed by ICE in what Homeland Security says was an act of ‘domestic terrorism.’
The unidentified woman was shot after allegedly trying to ram officers with her car ‘in an attempt to kill them’ during ICE’s operations in Minneapolis, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the Daily Mail in a statement.
DHS said she ‘weaponized her vehicle’ while ‘attempting to run over our law enforcement officers.’
Shooting …
“Get out of your car” proceeds to put the car in park and drive right at the ICE officer. This was obviously a lawful justified shooting. We aren’t going to let little-Somalia (AKA Minneapolis) start another national riot. pic.twitter.com/n6VO0UNaZW
Regarding the ICE shooting. The image on the left would have been the media narrative without X. It would have dominated every news network. By the time we would have been able to debunk it, the "hands up, don't shoot" lie would have spread. With X, the media lies lose power. pic.twitter.com/wl2DhmvVSM
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Monday, January 5th, that Hungary would not need to follow the United Kingdom’s path out of the European Union because the bloc is “falling apart by itself.”
Speaking at an international press conference in Budapest, the conservative leader argued that a “process of de-integration” is already under way within the EU, driven by the growing incompetence of EU leaders.
He said Brussels repeatedly adopts major policy decisions only to abandon or dilute them later, pointing to unrealistic deadlines for the green transition and the weakening of the Schengen system—the system of open internal borders within the EU—as clear signs of systemic failure.
FOR young professionals and working families, living in London is an increasingly distant dream. London property is among the most expensive in the world; rent alone can be £3,500 a month or more.
Given this, a social housing tenancy – owned by a local authority or housing association – can save a London renter thousands of pounds a year. Over a lifetime, the benefit is comparable to a lottery win.
Despite UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s pledge to smash people smuggling gangs, small boat crossings to the UK remained at historically high levels last year with growing criticism from opposition figures that government measures have failed to deter illegal migration.
A total of 41,472 migrants arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel in 2025, up from 36,816 the previous year and 41% higher than the 29,437 recorded in 2023. Since Labour came to power in the summer of 2024, around 65,000 migrants have reached Britain via sea.
