Congress Must Act After ICE Kills a U.S. Citizen in Minneapolis
Text SIGN PDMOGJ to 50409 — On January 7, 2026, federal immigration agents shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, on a residential street in Minneapolis. She was not the subject of any arrest, warrant, or investigation. City officials identified her as a trained legal observer—someone present to document law enforcement activity, not interfere with it.
Multiple videos taken at the scene show agents surrounding her vehicle as it backed up and turned away. As the car moved away down the street, an agent fired three shots into the driver’s side. No officer appears to have been struck, and the shooter walked away uninjured. Video from moments afterward shows agents refusing to allow a self-identified physician to render aid while the wounded woman sat unattended in her car.
Within hours, the Department of Homeland Security and senior regime officials publicly described the killing as “self-defense” and labeled the victim a “domestic terrorist.” Minneapolis and Minnesota officials—after reviewing the video—flatly rejected that narrative, calling it reckless, false, and unsupported by the evidence.
This killing did not occur in isolation. Independent reporting and data compiled by The Trace show a documented spike in shootings and use-of-force incidents involving federal immigration agents during the Trump administration’s enforcement surges. Less-lethal weapons have been used against protesters and clergy. Detention populations have surged, facilities are overcrowded, deaths in custody are at record levels, and judges across the country—appointed by presidents of both parties—have overwhelmingly ruled against ICE’s detention practices. Congress was on notice. This outcome was foreseeable.
What is happening now is not routine immigration enforcement. It is the normalization of militarized, anonymous federal policing in American neighborhoods, coupled with propaganda that demands the public abandon observable reality in favor of official statements—even when video evidence contradicts them. That is not public safety. It is a direct threat to constitutional government.
At this moment, statements are not enough. Every member of Congress—Democrat and Republican alike—should be physically standing together on the steps of the Capitol demanding an immediate end to ICE’s deadly abuses. Silence in the face of a U.S. citizen being killed and then smeared to justify her death is not neutrality; it is acquiescence.
This responsibility cannot be deferred to the next election. Congress does not need new majorities to begin oversight, compel testimony, or reassert its Article I authority. What is required now is the will to act—and the courage to do so publicly—before more lives are lost.
Congress has both the authority and the obligation to act now. You must:
• Hold emergency public hearings with sworn testimony from DHS and ICE leadership
• Subpoena all video, communications, use-of-force policies, and after-action reports related to this killing
• Prohibit masked or anonymous federal policing in civil immigration enforcement
• Mandate an enforceable duty to render immediate medical aid
• Restore meaningful civil liability and accountability for federal agents who violate constitutional rights
• Rein in large-scale, theatrical enforcement operations that endanger the public and chill lawful protest
Immigration enforcement does not place federal agents above the Constitution. When executive agencies kill civilians, deny medical aid, spread demonstrably false narratives, and face no meaningful oversight, the separation of powers is already failing.
This is the moment for Congress to assert itself—publicly, visibly, and without delay.

What are people using as an email client for their organization? I used MadMimi for years for several organizations and loved it, but they sold out to GoDaddy which just wanted to sell me things I already had. I switched to MailChimp and find their navigation VERY difficult and non-intuitive.

These days are tough. The craziness of the political process, feelings of powerlessness, fear for our personal and our collective futures - try some of Jillian Bybee's coping strategies. My favorites were making a playlist of songs to cry to, and making (and using) a dopamine menu.

Decapitation Strike
Preserving America from Trump's Appointments
Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. And the whole idea was that this time he had a plan.
