Wife of Minneapolis woman killed by ICE speaks out for the first time

""Above all else, she was kind," Good wrote. "In fact, kindness radiated out of her.""

""Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow," she wrote, adding that her wife believed people are here "to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole.""

""We chose Minnesota to make our home," Becca Good wrote, recalling their road trip and the sense of community they found upon arrival. Minneapolis became the place where she said she had "finally found peace and safe harbor.""

Becca Good is the widow of Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37-year-old mother and poet described as caring, generous, and kind. Renee lived by faith, compassion, and a belief in shared humanity and sought to nurture kindness wherever it appeared. The couple had recently moved to Minneapolis seeking stability and belonging, and Minneapolis became a place of peace and safe harbor. Renee was fatally shot during a federal ICE operation near 34th Street and Portland Avenue in south Minneapolis. Federal officials including the president, vice president, and the homeland security secretary said the shooting was justified. More than $1.5 million has been raised for Renee's widow and children, and video footage and public reaction have driven national outrage.
