The Only “Domestic Terrorists” On Our Streets Are ICE Agents
ICE have murdered a woman on the streets of Minneapolis, and now they’re trying to lie to you about it. By now, you’ve almost certainly seen the footage. Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old woman driving a purple SUV, is sitting in the street, idling her car. She was a legal observer, there to keep an eye on ICE as they wage yet another series of immigration raids in Minneapolis, and report any misconduct she saw.
