Renee Nicole Good was a mother of three, including a 6-year-old boy who is now an orphan.
Renee was deeply loved by many. Her mom described her as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”
This is who we lost yesterday.

The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."

And I may be wrong but I think this killing of a suburban mom by members of an organization that the public perceives to be completely out of control, coupled by the administration trying to block the state from investigating it, is going to be politically costly. Let’s see.

I had a feeling a few months ago that Trump’s handling of the Jimmy Kimmel issue was going to backfire on them politically. And I was right. That was the exact point where his approval started to plunge.
I think the same thing about their handling of the ICE killing of Renee Good.

The easiest way to know that there is some serious backlash to the Trump White House and FCC using the government to knock Jimmy Kimmel off the air is that they’re now lying about doing it.
There must be some internal polls showing they really stepped in it.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

I want to connect the dots.
The rush to call Renee Good a terrorist, the rewriting of Jan 6th - it's all part of Trump's campaign to use violence to protect his power.
A world in which our leader gets to shoot or attack us if we oppose him - that's a dystopia we cannot permit.

I covered this case — and Ellis's extensive opinion in it — overnight: www.lawdork.com/p/ice-agent-...
An ICE agent killed Renee Nicole Good. Judge Sara Ellis all but told us today would happen.
"[A]gents have used excessive force … without justification, often without warning, and even at those who had begun to comply with agents’ orders," Ellis wrote on Nov. 20.
