The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis during a federal immigration operation has reignited the debate over law and order in our cities, and the facts so far support the need for federal action rather than surrender. Video and official accounts show a confrontation that ended with an ICE officer using deadly force, a situation federal officials say was connected to an attempt to impede officers during an enforcement action. This is not the time for political grandstanding from local leaders who have long welcomed sanctuary policies that tie the hands of honest law enforcement.
Border czar Tom Homan, speaking on Carl Higbie FRONTLINE, made it clear that ICE will not be driven out of Minneapolis by mobs or media hysteria and that additional ICE operations are planned to restore order and protect officers. Homan urged the public to let the investigations play out but also warned that the escalating hostility toward federal agents cannot be ignored. Conservatives have watched these federal officers operate under duress, and Homan’s promise of intensified enforcement is a necessary response to lawlessness.
The Department of Homeland Security is backing that stance with real resources, dispatching hundreds more federal officers to Minnesota to secure ICE and Border Patrol personnel after massive protests erupted. Secretary Noem announced further deployments as part of what DHS calls their largest operation in the region, showing the federal government will protect its agents and carry out its duties. For those who chant “hands off ICE,” understand that these officers are performing dangerous work to keep dangerous criminals off the streets.
What followed the shooting was predictable: tens of thousands marching in the streets of Minneapolis and copycat demonstrations nationwide, while the left-wing media and city politicians rushed to assign guilt before investigations concluded. The same officials who criticize federal enforcement created the environment that emboldens protesters to physically interfere with officers. Law-abiding citizens want accountability, but they also want their government to enforce the law and protect communities from chaos.
Meanwhile, local leaders in Minnesota have done more to inflame the situation than to calm it, with rhetoric that treats federal officers like enemies rather than partners in public safety. That kind of language — from mayors who applaud sanctuary status to governors who reflexively attack federal authority — sends a dangerous signal that obstructing law enforcement is acceptable. Conservatives see this clearly: when you accuse agents of being the enemy, you invite violence against them and then feign outrage when it happens.
Patriotic Americans should stand with the men and women who put on a uniform and do a hazardous job every day to protect our neighborhoods from criminal elements and cartel influence. The federal response now is not about politics so much as preserving the rule of law and ensuring that no city becomes a lawless zone where mobs set the rules. Our country cannot survive if local jurisdictions can neutralize federal law enforcement with virtue-signaling and sanctuary edicts.
Tom Homan’s message was simple and right: let the facts come out, but do not let mobs and media pressure prevent enforcement from moving forward. Justice will be served, and federal forces will not be intimidated into withdrawing from the hard work of keeping Americans safe. Patriots should demand a full, transparent investigation and then back the agents who put their lives on the line to enforce our laws.
