Surveillance footage shows immigration activist blocking road before fatal ICE shooting

In a series of events leading up to the tragic shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a federal officer, surveillance footage reveals her car parked in the middle of a street for several minutes before the deadly encounter occurred.

According to footage reviewed by the Daily Mail, Good’s vehicle initially halted to drop off a passenger on the right side of a residential street where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were conducting an operation, though not visible in the video.

Subsequently, the car is observed being maneuvered to a position that obstructs the roadway.

Just moments later, ICE agents approached the Honda Pilot, at which point Good reportedly drove towards them, resulting in her being shot fatally.

The Trump administration has characterized the incident as an act of domestic terrorism.

Marcos Charles, the acting executive associate for ICE’s office of Enforcement and Removal Operations, said Good had been harassing law enforcement vehicles earlier in the day and fled from authorities.

“Our agents lost her at a red light. She then turned back around, went to that area, and continued to harass and impede the enforcement actions of our officers there on that street by blocking them, using her vehicle to block our vehicles, to use her vehicle basically as a barrier across the street, the public roadway, and impede our officers,” he said during a Thursday appearance on “The Will Cain Show.”

“Officers were trying to get around her. Every time they would try to go either in front of the vehicle or behind the vehicle, she would then reverse or go forward trying to hit our other vehicles,” Charles added. “She was trying to get in the way of our other vehicles, whether it be hitting them or to stop them from proceeding forward.”

Just before the shooting, the agents wanted to pull Good out of her vehicle to make an arrest, Charles said.

Critics of ICE and the Trump administration have said federal agents enforcing immigration law have gone rogue and are sowing chaos in cities in which they operate. 

Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, worked as a Minneapolis-based immigration activist serving as a member of “ICE Watch,” federal sources told Fox News. 

The group aims to monitor, track, interfere and oppose ongoing federal immigration enforcement operations, Homeland Security sources said. The group is present in multiple sanctuary cities across the country.
