Who was Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed by Ice in Minneapolis
Her name was Renee Nicole Macklin Good the 37-year-old woman killed by Ice, the US immigration agency, in Minneapolis. On social media Renee Good called herself a poet, writer, wife and mother. A profile picture posted on Pinterest shows her smiling while holding a small child against her cheek, along with posts about tattoos, hairstyles and home decoration.
The woman was a US citizen born in Colorado and it appears she was never charged with anything involving law enforcement other than a traffic violation ticket. Good lived in the city with her partner, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported, quoting her mother, Donna Ganger. "Renee was one of the kindest people I ever knew," Mrs. Ganger told the newspaper. "She was extremely compassionate." "She cared for others throughout her life," Ganger added. "She was loving, understanding and affectionate. She was an extraordinary person."
Good was the mother of a six-year-old boy whose father died in 2023, writes the Star Tribune. "There is no one else in her life," the child's grandfather told the newspaper. Renee also had a daughter and son from her first marriage, who are now 15 and 12 years old. The six-year-old son was born from her second marriage.
Trump administration officials portrayed Macklin Good as a terrorist who attempted to run over federal agents with her car. Her ex-husband claimed that she was not an activist and that he had never seen her participate in a protest of any kind. He described her as a devout Christian who had participated in missionary trips with young people in Northern Ireland as a young woman. She loved to sing, was a member of the choir in high school and studied singing at university.
Good spent most of her life in Colorado and briefly moved to Kansas to live with her parents for a time after the death of her husband, a military veteran, her father Tim Ganger told the Washington Post.
