The Vichy Democrats—Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and their ilk—have cut a deal with the feds: they will arrest noise demonstrators keeping ICE awake at night, sweep the blockades impeding ICE operations in the streets, and prosecute rapid responders confronting ICE in every corner of the Twin Cities.

Minneapolis Responds to ICE Committing Murder On January 7, 2026, an ICE agent murdered Renee Good. This is an account from a participant in the protests that broke out on scene of the murder.

Today marks one month since ICE mercenary Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good.

It was not the first public execution ICE carried out. But because rapid responders caught it on film and angry locals forced ICE to withdraw after, there can be no question about what happened.

Resisting makes us safer.
