nullagentAnother Seattle vigil honoring Renee Good is planned tonight on the waterfront.
This is definitely in the performative category of protesting but could be a safe entry point for folks new to activism.
The more urgent need in the Seattle region is for more people to do EXACTLY what Renee Good was doing. Actively going to look for and observe ICE abductions in our area.
And as luck would have it, ICE has been quitely terrorizing our local immigrants and is largely going unopposed in Seattle as far as I can see for the last several months.
Lately there's been an uptick in ICE activity in North Seattle so if you're there this article is for you.
Kash Patel's FBI seems to now be in charge of the inviestigation into Renee Good's murder at the hands of an ICE agent.
Which I think tells us all we need to know about the type of "justice" the Trump administration is preparing to dole out.

There's some more details about what happened at the high school ICE attempted to storm after murdering Renee Good.
It seems ICE rolled up with several vehicles and in short order ended up pepper spraying students and fighting with passers by.

According to the local teacher's union, MFE 59, they say one of their teacher's was abducted by ICE right as school let out.
Thankfully the educator was released the same day but many students witnessed this unjust and unwarranted arrest.

The commander of Border Patrol, Gregory Bovino, was seen at the high school during the arrest of a high school educator.
Can't help but noticed he's finally complying with court orders to wear a bodycam.
The muderer of Renee Good has been identified as Jon Ross. A 2000s Iraq War veteran.
Ross was "accidentally" doxxed by DHS' own leader Kristi Noem this morning in a press conference where she mentioned a previous incident the same agent shot another driver with a Taser which ended up in court.
Within hours journalist from the Star Tribune were able to track down those court records which lead them to Ross.

Tons of stories of police abuse are coming out about the latest ICE/CBP surge into Minnesapolis.
In this account of an attempted ICE abduction a pastor explains how he volunteered to be arrested when he saw ICE snatching a young hispanic woman.
Agents pointed guns at his head and eventually did detain him only to let him go a short while later stating:
"You're white so not much fun taking you in"
Several video angles from the ICE incident at Minneapolis' Roosevelt High have emerged.
In this video agents can be seen firing teargas at high school students and educators.
Huge crowds of thousands marched through Minneapolis tonight.

Not quite sure how/why this video was released but footage of Renee Good's last moments as filmed by murderous ICE/CBP goon Jon Ross have come out.
This video shows Ross walking around the car filming Renee from his smartphone while agents shout conflicting orders.
Update: DHS did release this. For some reason they think it helps their case.
Again, I think its super important to note that this goon was filming on a phone(wtf?), why not a bodycam?
Bodycams are better for this task bc it allows cops to have situational awareness and not be thinking about their IG live.
I can already see the cops planning to say he felt fear and couldn't tell if he was going to get hit or not because he was too distracted with the phone.
But imo its clear he's filming this killing bc he planned it. He placed himself their and filmed so he could brag
In reporting from last month the WA Post via public records requests verified that ICE & CBP are waging an intentional media war.
DHS cops frequently work hand in hand with media production teams. Sometimes even with requests for the production of social media content coming down the chain of command to field agents.
So in short, its no mistake that CBP cop Jon Ross seemed to manufacture a murder for Twitter and IG views.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2025/ice-social-media-blitz/
In videos posted today from protests around Minneapolis' federal building activists and reporters noticed a media team riding along in CBP/ICE vehicles.
If you look closely in the first few seconds of this video you'll see the reporter and camera man exit the back row of an ICE vehicle.
After reviewing other angles and stills I believe this was Matt Finn, a Fox News reporter.
So we know the propaganda machine is in full swing in MPLS.
📸 https://www.garbageday.email/authors/1446b1d3-a839-42aa-80ea-4bfce65092ad
Protesters rightfully noticed the man who looks like Fox News reporter Matt Finn exiting the ICE vehicles and ask for his name and badge number and whether he is a cop.
The reporter refuses to identify himself.
📸 https://www.garbageday.email/authors/1446b1d3-a839-42aa-80ea-4bfce65092ad
In video, also from today, we can see the view from Fox News propagandists Matt Finn as he rides along with a DHS cop.
The two discuss how they are essentally driving around, waiting to get noticed as ICE/CBP and then planning to start conflict with anyone and everyone who "impedes" their aimless operation.
Fuck these Völkischer Beobachter reporters.
But here's the thing, ICE/CBP agents are not traffic cops.
If they have a problem with people's driving style they actually are probably supposed to call the local cops.
So if they really think that person took an illegal u-turn they need to call the cops like everyone else.
Being a bad or evening annoying driver isn't directly a crime and certainly isn't even "impeding" ICE's operations.
Since Renee Good's killing DHS has pledged to send an additional 500 ICE/CBP/DHS cops to Minnesota and likely the majority ending up in Minneapolis to re-enforce the already 2000 strong DHS fighting force.
This all despite multiple requests from the Mayor and Governeor Tim Walz for DHS to withdraw it's occupying force immediately.
There is a silver lining tho, this is requiring DHS to pull cops for other cities,
https://www.ms.now/news/trump-administration-pushes-self-defense-narrative-in-ice-killing
In this clip a US Army Ranger vet explains how ICE/CBP are clearly being ordered be as intimidating as possible.
He notes how they should NOT be wearing masks when not dealing with actual gangs who operate on the border.
Even how they wear their bullet proof vests is unnecessarily intimidating.
He explains these sorts of shows of force got troops hurt in Afghanistan bc the locals wouldn't wait for the next Renee Good to fight back.

Mayor Frey has been doing tons of interviews to advocate for ICE getting the fuck out of his city this week.
In this interview with The Bulwark he encourages artists, musicians and other performers to please come to the city and do their acts as planned and to support the protests while in town.
He points to the economic damper this fascist cop surge will have on the city and says his job is to enable as many of these sorts of events to be help despite oppression.
https://www.thebulwark.com/p/anne-applebaum-and-jacob-frey-using
Frey mentions that ICE now accounts for 50% of the city's gun crime.
He expressed major concern that ICE agents (2,275) in the city now far outnumber the around 600 local cops. The concern is clearly visible on Frey's face when I speaks of the numerical superiority of the ICE/CBP cop surge.
https://www.thebulwark.com/p/anne-applebaum-and-jacob-frey-using
Tim Walz has also stayed in the media cycle and is trying to keep the pressure up on ICE to leave. He spoke out yesterday explaining how the actions of ICE against Renee Good were unjustified.
He draws the conclusion that if ICE can do that to Renee then immediately go harass high school educators that these same sorts of incidents could become common in our schools.
Walz says that's a red line for him and he'll fight like hell to keep ICE away from kids.
Tonight thousands of everyday people in Minneapolis are holding noise demos at the hotels ICE is staying in.
It's our 1st admenment right to make sure ICE gets a horrible night of rests every night until they get the Fuck OUT!
Update - local cops arrested 30 people according to @UnicornRiot during this night of protests.
Renee Good's partner, Becca, released a statement today about her death.
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/01/09/renee-goods-wife-releases-statement-about-ice-shooting
An OTG update earlier today from the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota shows workers fortifying the building to make it easier for CBP+ICE agents to keep protesters from slowing down their deportation processing operations.
In other clips large shipments of jersey barriers and barbed wire were seen being offloaded.
The feds are clearly planning not to leave MPLS as requested.
📸 BGOnTheScene via Twitter
Despite the horror of Renee Good's murder, politicians telling ICE to get the fuck out and growing protests, ICE continues to abduct people in and around MPLS.
In this incident I think from today in St Paul Minnesota (not sure of the date OP privated) a family ordered DoorDash only to have their dasher followed to their home by ICE.
The family attempts to protect the woman and call local cops(as instructed by politicians) local cops tell them they will arrested if they don't comply fully 🚨
The above video account of ICE chasing a DoorDash into a customer's home is hear breaking.
The woman filming explains that she is a native a American and for lack of a better word they all sound scared shitless by what happened to Renne Good.
The family had kids in the home and the demand that ICE put down their guns.
The only thing the sheltered Hispanic woman had to threaten these militarzed federal cops with is her tears.
There's a lot of revolutionary joy in the streets of Minneapolis tonight.
#MPLSProtest #minneapolis #minneapolisICE #ICEProtest #NoiseDemo
Watching live streams, the scene at the entrance to the ICE hotel is noisy af.
The crowd is peaceful but LOUD, they have shown a ton of respect for the hotel security personnel.
Bands and drummers filtered through the crowd to setup shop right in the doorway.
After a bit an ICE cop emerged at the door to stand with security and crowd got a LOT less friendly.
(apologies, my screencap didn't catch audio)
The 2 and half hour long live stream I had been watching just ended abruptly with this as the last frame.
Protesters appear to have been let in a side door and several have filed in.
They encountered two closed (but unclocked doors) and debated entering further.
Some young boys can be heard warning the crowd that their could be ICE cops on the other side setting a trap and most exited. Many others took their place then the streamer ended the stream likely to protect ppl's identities.
When the stream resumed the citizen journalists were outside of the hotel facing off with local MPLS riot cops.
The local cops are now threatening to forcefully disperse the noise protests.
The local cops are now protecting ICE, as predicted.
The crowd is now cursing out the local cops and saying the are supporting ICE too much.
It sounds like the crowd became aware that the local cops were arriving right as the hotel side door was opened.
The vast majority of the crowd felt it was a trap and sounds like the local police did not have to physically remove anyone from the hotel bc the crowd had heads up they were about to get kettled.
The local cops appear to have just completed securing the entrances of the hotel and now are forming a road block to keep demonstrators away from the hotel.
Notably the local cops are armed primarily with knight sticks, pepper balls and other "non-lethals" (they still dangerous tho).
So far I've seen no local cops carrying rifles.
Every so often a snowball is thrown at the cop line.
There is ZERO reaction from these local cops, its as if snow balls and noise demos are not a lethal threat. These cops are clearly on their absolute best behavior, its not much but compared to ICE (and local cops in 2020) these guys appear to be doing their best to not unnecessarily threaten or intimidate the crowd.
It's wild, watching ICE I fully expect everyone to get gassed for them snowballs.
Not long after the police lines were formed the protests resumed marching and is now several blocks away.
The local cops now seems to have to decide between guarding the ICE hotel vs tailing the protesters and it looks like they're gonna stay at the hotel and make sure those evil goons get a quite rest of their night.
Sounds like the protest has dispersed for the night.
From what I saw on streams the protest tonight in Minneapolis was very peaceful with protesters occasionally enganging in civil disobeiance by being loud in hotel lobby's.
Not that protests need to be any of those things to be valid forms of struggle against oppression.
From witness statements on the streams it appears that both state and local cops were on tap to put down the protests and took active steps to encourage the crowd to disperse.
I'm not sure why dispersal was so important. I totally get keeping the crowds out of hotel lobbies but I really think if the Mayor and Governor meant what they say they should not be attempting to disperse a simple noise demo. Even if it goes late.
In fact they should make a point to NOT protect ICE at all anymore.
The situation is clearly already out of control with respect to ICE being told by every level of local governement to leave Senator Amy Klobuchar has joined the chorus as well.
Listen carefully and you'll see that Klobuchar, just like Mayor Frey and Governor Walz is keeping an eye on the tactical situation.
They ALL are aware that their local cops are already out numbered and out gunned by ICE.
They are talking about literal battle when they talk like this.
The crisis facing the US is extremely serious.
A DC cop, Michael Fanone, who was nearly killed at the US Capitol on January 6th says that a couple "F" bombs and foul language from the Mayor and Governor are NOT enough to stop what's coming. Fanone retired from the force after Jan 6 bc he refused to serve with fascists sympathizers.
He predicts that Americans will have to begin excersizing their 2A rights bc strong words are not enough to stop ICE.
Many people might hear J6 cop Fanone's encouragement for folks to embrace their 2A rights and think he's talking about some Rambo shit I really don't think that's what he's talking about.
In this clip a few ICE agents enter a McDs that has a couple armed security.
The gaurds proactively tell ICE to leave.
Throughout the encounter ICE NEVER touches them, speaks in a whisper AND left empty handed.
Unarmed guards would have been cursed at, beat and arrested along with the migrants.
So when noise demos get's dispersed under threat of force from the F bomb dropping Mayor it makes me REALLY question which form of protest would be more effective at actually denting ICE's abduction numbers?
A couple noise demos? Mountains of broken bones, bruises and trauma from tailing ICE around?
Or just passing a lot of laws that make it easier for targeted communities to obtain firearms and CCW licenses and making stand your ground legal against illegal ICE raids

I know the Mayor and Governor would probably say that they HAD to put down the protests bc otherwise these poor hotels, stuck between a rock and a hard place, would have to suffer the direct economic consequences of their windows being vandilaized all the time and local property values dropping from constant protests.
And I'm just like.... THATs actually the Free Market at work.
They need to get the fuck out the way and let these companies face consequences.
There's only worse options.
If we can't even for ONE NIGHT ensure that ICE has an impossible time sleeping and that letting them stay LITERALLY means economic ruin for EVERYONE involved then noise demos simply won't be allowed to even attempt to work.
These stats are staggering. The abductions are basically continuing unabated.
EVERY level of our government's systems are being weaponized to find soft targets to abduct when they are most isolated and we're not able to respond in time.
So anyways, ICE/CBP is playing in everyone's face in light of the threat to deploy National Gaurds against them.
The day after Walz made the threat to call the NG the commander of CBP Gregory Bovino staged a photo op at the Minnesota State Capitol which the right wing has been joking he'll soon be in command of.
I've never in my life seen this type of blatant disregard for the political norms of the US.
This is what Bovino did to mourn Renee Good's death.
"Haven't you learned?"
The ICE goon asked of two women observering him harass someone.
In a viral video from yesterday two women in Minneapolis who were observing ICE/CBP operations from their vehicle had their phone snatched from them. The CBP cop used intimidating references to Renee Good's murder this week alluding to the fact he hoped to find an excuse to shoot them.
📸 milaisconfused44 via TikTok
There's ALSO a viral videos suggesting that the women were disappeared by ICE.
Thankfully this is NOT true both are home safe today according to the original poster's updates this morning. Mirrored below.
Jeeeze, ICE continues to do everything in their power to inflame the situation to the highest degree.
Posting white supremacist song references just fash all the way down over there.

Attached: 1 image Fun fact: this is the title of a white nationalist song. It’s the same one the Proud Boys were singing in that clip that got Jonathan Choe fired from KOMO. That’s how far the Overton Window has moved in a few years
Mayor Jacob Frey spoke today about the shifting landscape of ICE+CBP's aimless illinformed hunt for "illegals".
Frey describes ICE initially showing up hoping to snatch Somalian-Americans but quickly discovered the vast majority are actually US citizens.
Finding it hard to deport Somalian's Frey says the feds then turned to harassing the Hispanic community.
According to @UnicornRiot there were 30 arrests at the noise demo protests at ICE's hotels on the 9th in Minneapolis.
Video from St. Cloud Minnesota show's a couple ICE agents attempting to grab a Somali American, emphasis on attempt, and having a hundred community members IMMEDIATLY surround these shitty federal cops.
These pigs were obviously massively outnumbered and run off with their tails between their legs.

2014.
Check the date.
"US Border Agents Intentionally Stepped in Front of Moving Vehicles to Justify Shooting at Them"
Making good on JD Vance's threats, ICE is now going door to door.
Of course they don't have warrants, or ANY legal reason to be busting down these doors.
Why would they need that?
The paper the federal cops presented was NOT signed by a judge and so it was not in any way legal for them to bust down this door with armed men.
This was a flagrant violation of the US Constition.
Meanwhile, TikTok has been hot on the case of doxxing the shit out of murderous cop Jonathan Ross and dragging his personal life filth (as the tiktok'ers do).
But as I've said from the start, this was all typical American cop work.
Turns out, Ross was a 10yr veteran federal officer and was responsible for TRAINING many other immigration & customs cops.
As this tiktok says, "Ross wasn't a failure of the system, he was the system"
Basically within an hour or two of Jonathan Ross's name getting out bc of Kristi Noem's dumb comment, I saw all of his PII leaked online.
Lately, rumour has it the feds had to whisk him away and cleared out his house.
Streamer "Robby Roadstreamer" whose frequently been seen at protests on the east coast heckling National Gaurdsmen, CBP and ICE agents alike was seen in Minneapolis this morning being violently arrested by federal cops.
This is the moment of protesting that demoralizes the shit out of cops.
On the one hand they get to be all tough and arrest this streamer for standing around.
On the other hand, he'll prolly be out tomorrow doing the same antics 😂
I've seen basically a never ending stream of videos of people just doing the mildest things to annoy these federal goons gaurding ICE into making "catch & release" arrests.
In one video an older guy just drives his car right into the fed building driveway, parks. Casually gets out to hold up a protest sign to an immediate volley of pepper balls and mace as cops run over to arrest him and beat back the cheering crowd.
Arrests like this waste DHS/ICE resources and lower cop moral.
Keep it up!
New video making the rounds today from Minnesota depicts an ICE agent falling on ice then entering a porta potty with a female kidnapping victim.
Today Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison announced the state's lawsuit against DHS to end the surge of federal cops into Minnesota.
He points out making arrests in the state's sensitve locations is illegal and a violation of State's rights:
- Courts
- Churches
- Schools
- Funeral Homes
The full length press conference is below 👇🏿

Mayor Jacob Frey spoke of the intentional political targeting of Minneapolis.
He points out the conservative states have FAR more illegal alieans. Meanwhile Minneapolis has HALF the national rate of undocumented residents.
Frey acknowdleged the flood of feds outnumbering local cops.
Lastly this is cost his city a TON economically. Millions of police overtime have already been spent.
The full text of Minnesota's lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security can be read below.
This suit was entered into US District court of Minnesota and if I'm reading the court calendar correctly they will be a motion hearing on Wednesday.
There's some VERY alarming instances of police violence directed against State's attorney who happened to witness an ICE arrest first hand.

book_dragon@nullagent Can somebody do up a poster like the Portland RESIST Frog? 🐸 🦒
PersonneBlue states need to pass "stand your ground" laws asap. Let's see them raiding houses after that.
Meanwhile in Philly . . .
I don't expect to see them go door to door on the east coast or south without real warrants. The laws there are pretty clear.

@nullagent @per_sonne I'd trust the Black Panthers a lot faster than I'd trust an ICE thug.
"The group has been holding regular weekly free food programs in North Philadelphia for several years, according to 39-year-old Paul Birdsong of West Philadelphia, who identifies himself as the Black Panther Party’s national chairman."

Andres@nullagent @per_sonne Yes! This is the energy we need right now.
King_DuckZ@nullagent in all respect, expecting burglars and assassins to ask permission before breaking in is delusional. Are you thinking of the thief guild from Discworld perhaps? If so, keep in mind that it is fiction, it mocks our reality by making up one that is totally absurd
@nullagent I have to say these are the most considerate thieves I've ever seen. Or maybe they're just a bit lost, did they expect the house to be empty maybe or were they just bamboozled by the woman yelling? I reckon they don't recruit the smartest and brightest out there but either way I hope the lady and everyone from the house is safe, it must have been a horrible experience
@nullagent Jesus Christ who is that guy laughing? Look at that face! It's straight out of Hitler's gang of highest ranking officials. This stuff is scary, how the fuck did you guys get overwhelmed by criminals??
