Renee Nicole Good didn’t just happen to be in Minneapolis when she drove her car at ICE agents.
She moved there from Missouri specifically to join the “ICE Watch” network — a group that trains members to monitor, track, and interfere with federal immigration enforcement.
Body cam footage shows her harassing agents before hitting the accelerator as her wife shouted “Drive, baby, drive.” She struck an ICE agent. She died.
And the network that radicalized her? It’s part of a sprawling resistance infrastructure funded by George Soros, the federal government, and organizations with documented links to designated terrorist groups.
The “De-Arrest Primer”
ICE Watch Minneapolis posted training materials on Instagram teaching activists how to physically interfere with arrests.
The tactics include:
“Encircling” — forming a human wall around an officer and detainee.
“Un-grabbing” — pulling the arrestee away from the officer’s grip.
“Swarming” — flooding the area with people to create confusion so the officer is forced to let go.
The materials instruct followers to open car doors of law enforcement vehicles and apply “crowd pressure” to force officers to release detainees.
This isn’t protest. This is organized interference with federal law enforcement operations. The primer even reassures activists that these actions are “often considered misdemeanor offenses” with “catch and release” consequences.
They’re training people to obstruct justice and telling them the penalties are minor.
Real-Time Coordination Against Federal Agents
The surveillance infrastructure is sophisticated.
ICE Watch uses Signal group chats for real-time coordination. Crowdsourced spreadsheets document locations, times, numbers of officers, and enforcement activity. Members use mobile apps to track ICE vehicle movements.
Activists patrol neighborhoods for hours, tailing suspected ICE vehicles. They follow agents to restaurants and hotels during downtime. They report license plates and sightings.
This isn’t spontaneous community response. It’s organized counterintelligence against federal law enforcement.
The Anarchist Wing
Twin Cities Ungovernables represents the more confrontational faction.
The anarchist collective describes itself as focusing on “graffiti, banner drops, protests, and other signs and steps being taken towards becoming ungovernable.”
They’ve called on members to block vehicles, confront agents, barricade streets, and bring materials that can be set on fire. One post explicitly referenced arson: “Even in the most topical forms of American mythology we have plenty of structures that need burning. It’s easy work, it ain’t nothing to us.”
After the Minneapolis shooting, they posted: “Welcome to the jungle mother—–rs. Wrong city. Wrong state. Wrong country. F– outta here.”
This is domestic terrorism recruitment disguised as activism.
$7.6 to $9.5 Million from Soros
The Indivisible Project — which helped coordinate protests nationwide after the Minneapolis shooting — has received between $7.6 million and $9.5 million from George Soros’ Open Society foundations.
That’s direct funding. There’s also over $3 million in pass-through funding from the Tides Nexus, which itself received approximately $17.8 million from Open Society during 2022-2023 alone.
The money flows through multiple layers of nonprofits, but the source is clear: Soros-funded organizations are financing the anti-ICE resistance network.
The Terrorism Connection
Here’s where it gets darker.
Tides has funded Alliance for Global Justice, which serves as fiscal sponsor for Samidoun.
In October 2024, the U.S. Treasury designated Samidoun as a “sham charity operating as an international fundraising arm for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.” Canada listed Samidoun as a terrorist entity.
Samidoun leaders have been identified as PFLP operatives. The group has raised funds for the PFLP, which participated in the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel. Samidoun leader Charlotte Kates traveled to Iran to accept an award alongside Palestinian Islamic Jihad leadership and publicly praised the October 7 attacks as “heroic and brave.”
The funding chain: Soros → Tides → Alliance for Global Justice → Samidoun → PFLP terrorists.
That same Tides network funds organizations training activists to interfere with ICE operations.
$77.7 Million in Government Grants
The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights operates extensive “Migra Watch” training programs teaching people how to monitor and respond to federal immigration enforcement.
Their 2023 funding: $77.7 million in government grants.
American taxpayers are funding an organization that trains people to identify federal agents, document enforcement activity, follow “whistle protocols” to alert communities, and use standardized reporting methods for ICE sightings.
In September and October 2025 alone, more than 6,700 people were trained through weekly sessions.
The federal government is subsidizing resistance to federal law enforcement.
The Propaganda Operation
The resistance network runs sophisticated information warfare.
Videos are edited to show ICE breaking windows without context that occupants refused to open doors. Footage shows agents “chasing” someone without noting the person was fleeing arrest. Clips of physical confrontations omit that suspects resisted.
Language is carefully chosen to vilify enforcement. “Arrested” becomes “abducted.” “Detained” becomes “whisked away.” Officials claim to protect “constituents” from ICE despite ICE only targeting illegal aliens, not lawful residents.
Activists claim there’s “no due process” while ignoring that many deportees have outstanding final orders that were never enforced. They claim people are “denied access to courts” when many were already ordered removed by courts.
It’s systematic disinformation designed to radicalize people like Renee Nicole Good.
The Violence Originates From Interference
Here’s what activists won’t acknowledge: the violence comes from interference with lawful enforcement.
ICE agents aren’t attacking random people on the street. They’re arresting individuals with deportation orders, criminal records, or outstanding warrants.
When activists block vehicles, swarm agents, and train people to physically interfere with arrests, they create the conditions for violence.
Renee Nicole Good didn’t have to die. If she hadn’t been trained to confront ICE agents, hadn’t been encouraged to interfere with operations, hadn’t been radicalized by a network that treats law enforcement as the enemy — she’d still be alive.
The organizations that trained her bear responsibility for her death.
Congressional Action Needed
Representative Jason Smith led a congressional letter urging the IRS to review Tides Foundation’s tax-exempt status, citing concerns over “possible material support for terrorism.”
That review needs to happen. Organizations funding resistance networks with documented terrorist links shouldn’t enjoy tax-exempt status.
And the federal government needs to stop funding groups that train people to interfere with federal law enforcement. Every dollar to ICIRR is a dollar subsidizing resistance to ICE.
The Network Is Growing
The Minneapolis shooting hasn’t discouraged the resistance network. It’s energized them.
Indivisible helped coordinate protests in all 50 states. Twin Cities Ungovernables is recruiting. ICE Watch groups are expanding.
They view Good as a martyr. They’re using her death to radicalize more people. They’re training the next person who might drive a car at federal agents.
Unless the funding is cut and the organizations held accountable, the violence will continue.
The resistance network isn’t spontaneous outrage. It’s a funded, organized, trained operation with links to terrorist organizations.
And it’s growing.
