In this urgent episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth responds to the killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis, examining the available video evidence and dismantling official claims used to justify the shooting. She places the murder in the broader context of ICE violence, militarized policing, and state-backed intimidation, and explains why cosmetic reforms and “more training” will not stop this harm. The episode is both a moment of collective grief and a call to action—urging mutual aid for the family, truth-telling in the face of propaganda, and sustained local organizing to defend communities.
