Just a couple more articles and a short video about Good. First up is an article from the Daily Mail indicating that "New video shows ICE shooting victim Renee Nicole Good block road for FOUR MINUTES before she was shot so wife could leap out of car to begin filming." From the article:
Newly released footage of her killing shows how about 20 seconds after Good's maroon Honda Pilot pulled up to the street, a passenger - believed to be her wife Rebecca Good - exited the vehicle and eventually began filming.
Good then repositioned the SUV, seemingly blocking the street. The grainy video, however, shows that other cars were still able to pass around her.

There is speculation that Rebecca Good, who admitted to bringing her spouse to the anti-ICE protest, exited the car so she could begin filming any potential clash with federal agents. She was seen wielding her camera during Ross's confrontation with her wife but it is unclear when she first started tor record.

Good's friends have revealed she was part of a network of activists coordinated through her six-year-old son's charter school who were actively resisting ICE.
'She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,' a mother named Leesa who has a child at the same school as Good's son told The New York Post.
'[Renee Good] was trained against these ICE agents — what to do, what not to do, it's a very thorough training.
'I know she was doing the right thing. I watched the video plenty of times but I also know in my heart the woman she was, she was doing everything right.'
The second article is "Here’s who’s really behind the Minneapolis ICE resistance movement" from the New York Post. This article notes that "Good, who moved from Colorado to Minnesota last year, was an anti-ICE 'warrior' and a member of 'ICE Watch,' a coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in Minneapolis," although other articles indicate that she had moved from Kansas City, MO, to Minneapolis. Anyway, ICE Watch has aligned with other leftist organizations including once called the Twin Cities Ungovernables. But we are now learning that other groups involved in the protests and disruption of ICE enforcement are: Indivisible Twin Cities, "an offshoot of the Indivisible Project in Washington, DC, which bills itself as a movement to defeat the 'Trump agenda,' and received $7,850,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations between 2018 and 2023, according to public records"; "the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an anti-Israel group whose Minnesota chapter’s executive director Jaylani Hussein has rallied against ICE at protests".
In addition, according to the article on the ICE resistance movement, one of the key leaders in the demonstrations is Nekima Levy Armstrong, the founder of the Racial Justice Network. The article says about her:
The Minnesota attorney and civil rights activist is one of the people helping organize the so-called “legal observers” who show up at raids throughout the city to document the federal agents’ activities, according to social media posts.
She also posts information about vigils and demonstrations on her social media accounts. Armstrong played a prominent role during the protests after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis in May 2020, according to reports.
And:
Other protest leaders include Edwin Torres DeSantiago, who heads up the Immigrant Defense Network, which describes itself as an umbrella group for more than 90 nonprofits and religious groups working to protect the rights of immigrants.
Born in El Salvador, DeSantiago is the first undocumented immigrant to pursue a doctorate at the University of Minnesota.
Following Good’s death, DeSantiago accused President Trump of sowing “terror and chaos” in Minneapolis.
