Renee Good was killed. She was sent out in the hope that radical anti-ICE activists could get some juicy footage they could use to make ICE look like the Gestapo, since that is the image that the revolutionary left wants burned into the consciousness of ordinary people.
She was recruited to become a radical activist, likely paid to impede the lawful operations of ICE after training in tactics like "dearresting" detainees (i.e., participation in felonious assaults on ICE agents to free people who have been lawfully arrested), and at the moment she was shot, her activist wife shouted at her to "drive drive drive" instead of obeying lawful orders.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. It's confirmed that anti-ICE vehicle rammer Renee Good's organization "Minnesota ICE WATCH" explicitly trains their members to ASSAULT ICE and federal Border agents, on top of harassing and targeting their vehicles

CNN's @BradOnMessage Todd: “It’s a tragedy that Renee Good is dead, and we should all mourn it. We should all mourn it. We also should look back what went wrong the way before that. Peggy Flanagan, the lieutenant governor of Minnesota, encouraged people to put their bodies on the line. That is irresponsible. Democrats who are encouraging people to obstruct law enforcement, they’re putting them in harm’s way with their rhetoric, and it’s wrong. Republicans shouldn’t do it. Democrats shouldn’t do it. We also have a problem that the Minneapolis police are not allowed to participate – to do crowd control. The encounter between Renee Good and those ICE officers shouldn’t have been – shouldn’t have happened. Minneapolis police should have been there as a buffer, but we don’t have it because Minneapolis ordinances prohibit them from even being there when there’s ICE in coordination. We have to change this. We have to have – Kristi Noem said it this morning – state and local officials need to help ICE do their job, not encourage people to stop them.”
None of this happened in a vacuum. NGOs are funding all this, Democratic Party politicians are calling on "protesters" to "put their bodies on the line" to attack federal law enforcement, and they are cynically exploiting this awful incident to incite even more violence against ICE officers.
BREAKING - It’s been revealed that Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan told constituents to “put their bodies on the line” to protect illegals from being “kidnapped” by ICE, weeks before a woman who did just that was shot while trying to ram an ICE agent in Minneapolis. pic.twitter.com/b3LWp4T4Q0

Government officials have been repeating the line that ICE is not even legitimate law enforcement, and hence, what is happening is "kidnapping" people. They regularly compare ICE to the "Gestapo" or the Secret Police, and the leader of the Democratic Party just compared them to the IGRC in Iran, obviously trying to incite an insurrection against Trump.
I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.

IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against
The rhetoric has only ramped up since the unfortunate shooting of Renee Good, and the "activists" have ramped up their attacks on ICE and on citizen journalists covering the violence. We keep being told that these protests are "nonviolent," which is an obvious lie.

Tim Walz declared "war" on the Trump administration, and a raft of politicians and pundits are justifying the attacks on ICE and claiming that committing felonies is protected by the First Amendment.

Recruitment for anti-ICE protesters has skyrocketed, and that is exactly what the left hoped for once they got their violence on camera.
These protests and street fortifications are not organic. They are part of a well-funded left-wing propaganda machine.

These are all tactics that you can find in training manuals for left-wing activists. Books have been written about how to do this, and training manuals are distributed. There is nothing spontaneous about it, and much of the money gets funneled from Blue-state governments to NGOs to activist groups, to the tune of millions of dollars.

Many in the media are also actively involved in promoting The Narrative™. They collaborate with the activists and push out their talking points, actively hiding what the protesters are doing to provoke ICE officers, leaving out what the ICE officers are actually doing, which is getting criminals off the streets.
The media was spotted setting up anti-ICE liberal protesters as a display in their broadcast.

This is all coordinated, and it is straight out of Rules for Radicals and The Antifa Handbook. The same Antifa Handbooks the Minnesota Attorney General has promoted.
The Nation is now at least admitting that Antifa exists and that it uses "any means necessary" to achieve its goals. They think it is awesome.
“Despite these constant distortions, the truth about antifa—what it actually is, where it comes from, what it’s accomplished—is still spectacular. ‘Antifa,’ a shortening of the word ‘antifascist,’ refers to a decentralized, underground network of radical leftists dedicated to destroying the far right. Its activists are mostly anarchists, communists, and socialists, and, though they might differ in ideology, they all subscribe to a specific militant tradition of antifascism holding that fascists need to be fought ‘by any means necessary.'”
Did Renee Good go out that day expecting to die? I sincerely doubt it. Did her wife or anybody in the "convoy" that spent that day harassing ICE agents and committing felonies expect her to die? Almost certainly not.

But they certainly were trying to incite violence, and they got it. Their whole reason for being there was to capture a confrontation with ICE on camera to distribute for propaganda. They were sent out there for that purpose. Many of them were paid to do it.
They just got a bit more than they bargained for, although they are thrilled to use the incident to further the revolution.
