The ICE agent involved in the fatal Minneapolis incident has broken his silence after supporters donated large sums of money to crowdfunding campaigns created in his name. As Minneapolis continues mourning Renee Good’s death, the public response has become sharply divided, with many questioning why financial support surged for the officer while a family grieved.In the days following the incident, multiple fundraising pages appeared and together reportedly brought in more than $570,000. One campaign on GiveSendGo raised over $200,000, while another effort collected hundreds of thousands more. Supporters said the funds were meant to help cover legal and personal security needs, and the agent later expressed appreciation through GiveSendGo’s leadership.The fundraising effort also triggered intense backlash due to the language used in campaign descriptions. Critics said the wording was inflammatory and portrayed Renee as a criminal rather than a victim. The phrases used online fueled anger, with many accusing organizers of escalating tensions and dehumanizing the woman who died.Meanwhile, more details surfaced from the agent’s neighborhood. A resident claimed she never knew he worked for ICE and said he had described himself as a botanist. After the incident, neighbors reportedly saw heightened security and activity around his home, adding to a tense atmosphere. Renee Good is survived by her wife and three children, and a separate fundraiser for her family has raised significant support. As investigations continue, the case remains unresolved, leaving Minneapolis searching for accountability and clarity.
