Whatever operation ICE agents were there to conduct that day had ended. The only reason the ICE agents were still there is because one of the agents got his vehicle stuck in a snow bank and he called for other agents to come and help push him out. This fact is from ICE Barbie herself and she said so in her first statement.
So no, Renee Good was not impeding enforcement.
Just wanted to clear this up because there is so much misinformation and outright lies being told about that morning from the Con, Noem, Vance and their cult.

(15,049 posts)that she was there to protest ... Or that she took the opportunity ... Or that her actions were in any way related to ICE ...
Who said we weren't supposed to say that Good was there because of ICE being in her neighborhood? Its known that she had just dropped her daughter off to school, but I think its understood that she and her wife were there to watch the ICE agents as a way of protecting their neighborhood.
Neither Good nor her wife did ANYTHING to justify that outcome.
Did I misunderstand your post?

(10,719 posts)Her partner says she feels somewhat responsible because they were just driving through after dropping her 6 yr old off at school 2 blocks away. Her partner saw ICE and asked Renee to drop her off. Renee was in that spot less than 3 minutes and video shows cars going around her.

(9,021 posts)There is no video that shows anything remotely close to that. Everything else in Noem's first statement was a lie, so why would you believe that one piece of her statement was true? Sorry, but I am sure that is as big of a lie as everything else she said. Obviously Renee Good was NOT impeding law enforcement, and the proof of that is while her car was stopped in the middle of the street (as were multiple ICE vehicles), video shows cars easily passing by her vehicle both in the front and the back so she technically wasn't blocking anyone.

(9,021 posts)Given that every single other statement in that statement was provably false, I'm 99.9999% certain that this statement is also false. i have no idea why anyone who believes ICE committed murder would treat it as factual.

I have no idea why you are hung up on the Federal vehicle being stuck in a snowbank. But, whatever.

(9,021 posts)Every single word in her statement that can be checked by the videos has been proven to be a lie. I will not believe anything said by such a compulsive liar to be the truth without visual evidence. Personally I'd be embarassed to say I thought she told the truth about anything. It would show very poor judgment on my part.

(40,234 posts)Kristi Noem wore her cowboy outfit to the TV broadcast, and she never gave us a reason why the ICE-goons were in Minneapolis.
Illegal immigrants are NOT invading Minnesota in January, I can guarantee you. Maybe a few Canadian hunters are sneaking in the back way, but that's it.
ICE's job is to protect our borders from the heathens who are coming in under the radar at the southern border. So they need to get their asses down to Texas, Arizona and New Mexico now. Get the hell out of Minneapolis, Chicago, San Francisco, Portland and everywhere else.

Or maybe he will do us all a favor and take care of it himself.

(7,820 posts)was bogus at best. Allegations of fraud, presumably involving some of Somali heritage I understand? Otherwise, why the need for ICE?
60 percent of Somalis there are reportedly US born. 90 percent of those foreign born are naturalized citizens (like Melanoma I suppose).
But then again, to Trump, that doesn't matter. Because according to Trump they ALL are criminal, worthless, garbage, and need to get out.
So the nation's BIGGEST FRAUDSTER, GRIFTER, CON-MAN, FELON, sends 200,000 goons to round up Black and Brown people who number only 87,000 in the whole state. (?)
That... and because, Tim Waltz, I guess.
