The ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis used a tactic that nearly three-quarters of major police departments have specifically banned because it’s dangerous and unnecessary: shooting at a moving vehicle.

WHAT’S GOING ON: Good, a 37-year-old mother of three and poet, was shot and killed by an ICE officer while sitting in her car. Videos show one officer trying to open her car door while another positioned himself in front of the vehicle as she tried to pull away. The officer fired, killing her.

Here’s the thing: ICE’s own policy prohibits officers from “discharging firearms at the operator of a moving vehicle” unless necessary to stop a grave threat, and explicitly states deadly force should not be used “solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect.”

But unlike most police departments and even the Department of Justice, ICE’s policy lacks a critical instruction: telling officers to simply get out of the way of moving vehicles where feasible.

Over 15,000 nurses walked off the job at three major NYC hospital systems demanding safe staffing levels, better pay, and workplace protections after hospitals broke promises made during the 2023 strike. Hospital executives are crying poverty while raking in millions and hiring 1,400+ temp nurses instead of just meeting workers’ demands, and NYC’s new democratic socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani joined the picket line to tell hospital CEOs exactly where they can shove their “extreme demands” complaints.

Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul filed a federal lawsuit to halt Trump’s “Operation Metro Surge”—the largest ICE operation in U.S. history—calling it politically motivated retaliation against a blue state that dared criticize his anti-immigrant agenda. The suit comes after an ICE officer shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good in her car (video contradicts their “threat” claim), over 2,000 arrests, and agents tear-gassing protesters and harassing U.S. citizens like Christian Molina, who said he’s “glad they didn’t shoot me.” Read the full story.

After months of demanding a public hearing, former special counsel Jack Smith will finally testify before the House Judiciary Committee on January 22nd about his criminal investigations into Trump’s attempted coup and classified documents theft—cases Trump managed to escape through a compliant judge and his own re-election. During his eight-hour closed-door deposition in December, Smith told lawmakers he could prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump engaged in a “criminal scheme” to overturn the 2020 election and “repeatedly tried to obstruct justice” in the classified documents case, testimony so damning that Republicans initially refused to let him say it in public.

Sen. Mark Kelly is suing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after the Trump administration moved to strip his military rank and slash his pension—all because Kelly appeared in a video urging troops to uphold the Constitution over illegal orders. The lawsuit calls out what it is: First Amendment retaliation by a vengeful authoritarian regime that can’t tolerate dissent, even from a retired Navy captain and sitting U.S. senator who dared to remind service members that their oath is to the Constitution, not to Trump’s personal whims.

Yes, Donald Trump is both a terrible human being and a terrible president. But his lasting contribution to American history may be much darker (and deeper) than simply being a pedophile and leading a failed coup.

Because YES—it can get worse. According to one expert, Trump’s regime is teaching the world…
