It's hard to put into words the level of sadness and disgust I feel. Wednesday Jan 8th, 2026, Renee Nicole Good, mother of 3 and poet died in what can be described as a murder.
Amanda Musa, Omar Jimenez, and Sarah Boxer of CNN had this to say regarding Good:
A mother of three, Good had two children, ages 15 and 12, from her first marriage, The Associated Press reported. Her 6-year-old child’s father died in 2023, according to the Star Tribune. “There’s nobody else in his life,” the child’s grandfather told the newspaper.
Good also was a devoted Christian who took part in youth mission trips to Northern Ireland when she was younger, her ex-husband told the AP. She also loved to sing and participated in a chorus in high school before studying vocal performance in college, he said
ICE agent, Johnathan Ross murdered Renee Good in her vehicle. He drew his weapon and executed her as she tried to leave. She was shot in the face. The vehicle slammed into a pole and a car. The airbag covered in blood, held Good's remains. Mr. Ross, a monster of the State, he left the scene without any sense of remorse. His cruel and unjust actions should be prosecuted to the full extend of the law. I think the state of Minnesota should also reinstate the death penalty for Mr. Ross, if convicted and ultimately found guilty of 1st degree murder.
I had a conversation with my cousin before returning back to home when I went to see my family in Missouri. My sister was present during the discussion. I warned my cousin that she needs to secure her naturalization documents and bring them back to home. My sister rolled her eyes and dismissed my words. "David, ICE is not going to come to a sleepy suburb or a college town in the middle of Missouri."
I swallowed my anger and tried to say to my sister, "you are not paying attention."
This was in October 2025.
I hope Mr. Ross is never welcomed in civil society ever again. He deserves horrific nightmares and ghosts to haunt his every thought. May his life be characterized as only evil and shameful.
Lastly, abolish ICE. It is a gestapo that has no place in American democracy.
