Renee Good, 37 was fatally shot by an Ice Agent on January 7th in Minneapolis after dropping off her 6 year old son to school. She described herself as a "poet and writer and wife and mom."

Good’s death occurred at a time when U.S. Pres.Trump ordered some 2,000 ICE officers to be sent to Minneapolis as part of what an administration official called the “largest immigration operation ever.

In the days after Good’s death, thousands of people participated in protests against ICE in Minnesota and around the country.

Good studied creative writing at Old Dominion University in Virginia and was awarded the school’s poetry prize in 2020. She won a 2020 Academy of American Poets University and College Prize, one of the top awards in the nation, for On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs.
