Rebecca Good, the spouse of the woman fatally shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Minneapolis, has been identified as a skilled handywoman with outspoken criticism of Donald Trump.

On Wednesday afternoon, 40-year-old Rebecca was captured on video in distress as her partner, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, 37, was fatally shot after allegedly ignoring ICE agents’ orders to exit her vehicle. Renee chose to reverse her Honda Pilot and drive away, leading to Rebecca’s anguished cries, blaming herself for bringing Renee to the anti-ICE demonstration.

The couple shared their professional lives, both contributing to Rebecca’s home repair and maintenance company, B. Good Handywork LLC, according to information retrieved by the Daily Mail.

Rebecca officially established the business in 2024, with both women serving as managers. The company appeared to operate from their leased residence in Kansas City, Missouri.

Rebecca formally incorporated the business in 2024. Both woman are credited with being managers of the company, which appeared to run out of their rented home in Kansas City, Missouri.

The Honda Pilot that Renee was driving at the time of the shooting had also been registered to Rebecca at that very address in Kansas City in 2024, records showed.

The Goods lived in Kansas City’s vibrant Waldo neighborhood for about two years but decided to flee the US after Trump’s election, a former neighbor told KMBC. 

The couple moved to Canada to escape Trump about eight months ago but evidently did not last there very long, as they’d moved again to Minneapolis by the time of Good’s killing.  

Rebecca, in harrowing footage captured at in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, admitted that she encouraged Renee to confront agents, saying through her tears: ‘I made her come down here, it’s my fault.’

Witnesses have claimed Renee, a mother of three, and Rebecca were acting as legal observers and filming the protest when she was shot three times in the face at a protest in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

But Renee’s mother Donna Ganger has denied reports that her daughter would have been ‘part of anything like’ the protests against ICE that were taking place at the location where she was killed. 

‘That’s so stupid,’ she told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. ‘Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.

‘She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.’

The distraught mother added that her daughter ‘was probably terrified.’

ICE claimed Renee deliberately drove her burgundy SUV at agents but witnesses dispute that and Mayor Jacob Frey called it ‘bulls**t’.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described the Renee’s alleged actions as ‘an act of domestic terrorism’ and defended her officer’s actions.

‘An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot to protect himself and the people around him,’ she said.

She later confirmed ICE operations are still underway in Minnesota in spite of the controversy.

Renee is a registered voter but her party affiliation is not listed in public records. No records about Rebecca’s voting history were publicly available.

Renee was previously married to a comedian named Timothy Macklin, who died in May 2023, and now lives in Minneapolis with Rebecca.

She filed a name changed petition at the Jackson County Courthouse in Missouri roughly five months after Macklin’s death, according to court records obtained by WDAF. It is unclear exactly when Renee and Macklin’s relationship ended.

Renee stated that her reason for tacking Good on to her last name was to ‘share a name with my partner.’ 

The filing also noted how she was a mother to three children under the age of 18.

Renee and Macklin had one child together, a six-year-old son, who is now orphaned. His paternal grandfather told the Star-Tribune ‘there’s nobody else in his life’. 

‘I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come and get my grandchild.’

In the footage from the scene, Rebecca also mentioned her six-year-old child.

‘That’s my wife, I don’t know what to do,’ she wailed. The man filming the video then asked if she had any friends who could help.

‘I have a six-year-old at school… we’re new here, we don’t have anyone,’ she answered.

State and local officials demanded ICE leave the state after Renee’s death. But Noem said agents are not going anywhere.

DHS has deployed more than 2,000 officers to the area in what it says is its largest immigration enforcement operation ever. Noem said more than 1,500 people have been arrested.

Renee’s was recorded by witnesses. Videos of the shooting show an officer approaching an SUV stopped across the middle of the road, demanding the driver open the door and grabbing the handle. 

The Honda Pilot begins to pull forward, and a different ICE officer standing in front of it pulls his weapon and immediately fires at least two shots at close range, jumping back as the vehicle moves toward him.

It is not clear from the videos if the vehicle makes contact with the officer, and there is no indication of whether the woman had interactions with ICE agents earlier. 

After the shooting the SUV speeds into two cars parked on a curb before crashing to a stop.

Noem called the incident an ‘act of domestic terrorism’ against ICE officers, saying the driver ‘attempted to run them over and rammed them with her vehicle.

Trump made similar accusations on social media and defended ICE’s work.

Noem alleged that the woman was part of a ‘mob of agitators’ and said the officer followed his training. She said the FBI would investigate.

But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called Noem’s version of events ‘garbage.’

The city has remained on edge since Renee’s death, with protesters gather outside Minneapolis immigration court on Thursday for further demonstrations.

Demonstrators were seen carrying signs and chanting, including some signs that say, ‘ICE Out Now,’ ‘We deserve to be safe in our community,’ and ‘Resist Fascism.’

Chants included ‘We Keep Us Safe,’ ‘ICE Out Now,’ ‘ICE Go Home,’ ‘Quit Your Job’ and ‘Justice Now!’

Schools have cancelled classes and activities as a safety precaution as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has issued calls for people to remain calm.
