On Wednesday, January 7th, 2026, federal ICE agent Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Nicole
Good. Good was a 37-year old mom, wife, poet, and one of our neighbors from south
Minneapolis. This horrific event took place after weeks of ICE operations resulting in the
abduction and harassment of our immigrant communities.
We are disgusted by the blatant abuse of power and inhumanity displayed by Jonathan Ross
and the federal activities taking place in Minneapolis and our neighborhoods. Their actions
impede residents’ ability to exist in a safe, diverse, and equitable community. We condemn
these acts of brutality and mourn the loss of our neighbor, Renee Nicole Good.
As Minneapolis residents, we stand together in our rage and sorrow. As we grieve, know that in
our shared trauma lies collective strength.
Lower Northeast Neighborhoods Association stands united in support of our immigrant
communities and remains committed to fostering interconnected relationships in our community.
It is imperative that we focus on our strength as neighbors united. As we each reflect on our
personal roles within our community, we encourage residents to get to know your neighbors and
take action in the ways most meaningful to you, whether that is through mutual aid, community
gatherings, or other actions.
