A GoFundMe for Renee Nicole Good’s family closed Friday after surpassing $1.5 million in the wake of a heated confrontation in Minnesota that led to an ICE agent fatally shooting the activist mom.
The fundraiser — which received $1,503,533 from about 38,000 donations — was set up Wednesday to support Good’s widowed wife and three children after the 37-year-old was shot dead when she drove her SUV at an immigration officer who fired the fatal shot during a raucous protest in Minneapolis.
“First, I wanted to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the county and around the world to support our family,” her wife, Rebecca, said in a statement on the GoFundMe.
“This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her.
“We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness,” the shattered wife continued.
“Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine.”
The couple were thrust into the national spotlight this week when an ICE agent, identified as Jonathan Ross, fatally shot Good after federal officials said she “weaponized” her plum-colored Honda pilot.
Local officials have decried the deadly use of force, and claimed the shooting was a “murder.”
New video captured on Ross’ cellphone shows Rebecca outside the vehicle taunting ICE while Good remained in the driver’s seat of the car.
As another agent ordered Good out of the car, Rebecca can be heard urging her wife to “drive, baby, drive” before she peeled off and clipped Ross, prompting him to open fire.
A video taken in the aftermath of the shooting showed Rebecca sobbing as she wailed, “It’s my fault.”
“On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors,” Rebecca said in the fundraiser.
“We had whistles. They had guns.”
The couple moved to Minnesota within the past year, where they were raising Good’s 6-year-old son from a previous marriage.
Area activists told The Post that Good was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
President Trump and Homeland Security officials have since labeled Good a “domestic terrorist.”
