Radical leftist groups, including one financed with $7.8 million from progressive billionaire George Soros, are behind the anti-ICE protests in Minnesota, The Post has learned.

Indivisible Twin Cities, which describes itself as a grassroots group of volunteers, has led many of the protests against ICE raids in Minnesota, where Renee Nicole Good was shot dead Wednesday after allegedly trying to mow down an ICE  agent with her vehicle.

Indivisible is an offshoot of the Indivisible Project in Washington, DC, which bills itself as a movement to defeat the “Trump agenda,” and received $7,850,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations between 2018 and 2023, according to public records.

The controversial group was also behind recent pro-Venezuela protests and “No Kings” demonstrations against the Trump administration throughout the country last year.

Hundreds of protests are expected to pop up across the country over the weekend to "demand accountability" after the shooting death of Renee Nicole Wood.

"We’re mobilizing across the country this weekend to honor Renee Nicole Good, demand accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s terror," the grassroots group Indivisible wrote on Facebook.

The group's stated goal is to "defeat the Trump agenda," and organized protests last year in all 50 states.

Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible said he expects the number of protests over the weekend hit or ever surpass 1,000.

An Indivisible map showed protests organized across all 50 states.

Renee Nicole Good’s kindergarten son attends a small “social justice” elementary school that teaches about George Floyd and “aboriginal issues” — and recently warned staffers to report nearby ICE agents, The Post has learned.

Good, 37 — who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis Wednesday —  has a 6-year-old at the Southside Family Charter School, which believes in “involving children in political and social activism” to fight “racism, sexism, classism and homophobia,” according to its website.

“From my understanding, she was involved in social justice,” former teacher Rashad Rich said of Good. “We are a tight-knit community and a lot of parents are [activists].”

Rich, who resigned as gym instructor last month, said the school teaches students about “current events” — with topics ranging the mass shooting at the local Church of Annunciation last year, to the killing George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020.

The wife of Renee Nicole Good said her spouse was a Christian who radiated joy and taught kindness to her youngest of three children.

Good, who plowed her SUV into an ICE agent who then fatally shot her during a protest in Minneapolis Wednesday, had stopped at the demonstration "to support our neighbors," her wife said in a lengthy statement to local outlet MPR News on Friday.

"We had whistles. They had guns," she said. Newly released video shows the wife taunting the agents and urging her wife to "drive, baby, drive" in the moments leading up to the fatal confrontation.

"Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole," the wife's statement said. "She was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her."

She added that the couple loved their new home in Minneapolis, where they were raising Good's 6-year-old son from a previous marriage.

"What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy," the wife wrote. "Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever."

Vice President JD Vance said Friday that the new footage of Renee Nicole Good’s deadly encounter with a federal agent makes clear the immigration officer’s “life was endangered” when he opened fire on her SUV.

“Watch this, as hard as it is,” Vance said on X.

“Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn’t hit by a car, wasn’t being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman.

“The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense.”

Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty has asked the public to share their videos of ICE agent Jonathan Ross shooting Renee Nicole Good — as she fears the FBI won’t share its evidence with state investigators.

Moriarity said she’s concerned because, despite collaborating on cases with the FBI in the past, the Trump administration is keeping the investigation into the fatal shooting federal.

She emphasized her office is responsible for investigating the shooting, which happened in Minnesota’s jurisdiction, even though the Trump administration has decided to assign it solely to the FBI.

“We do have jurisdiction to make this decision with what happened in this case,” she said. “It does not matter that it was a federal law enforcement agent.”

She said her office would post a link allowing the public to submit videos of the shooting.

Protesters in Minneapolis continue to clash against federal agents, leading to several arrests on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026.

One federal officer appeared to grab a protester's hair amid chaos outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building.

ICE agents are being yanked from a major illegal immigration crackdown in Louisiana and redirected to Minneapolis, adding reinforcements to what DHS has called the biggest immigration enforcement operation ever, according to documents.

The sudden decision comes after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday amid sweeping new operations tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents there.

More than 2,000 federal agents have been deployed in the Minnesota state capital in recent weeks.

Documents obtained by the New York Times suggested that at least 100 more were heading that way.

The move may mark a winding down of DHS's operation “Catahoula Crunch” in and around New Orleans, which launched last month with the arrival of 200 officers.

The operation, which was anticipated to net a thousand arrests, sparked protests around the Crescent City.

Renee Nicole Good was on the Minneapolis street where she was shot dead to join a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s crackdown in the area, her wife suggested Friday.

“On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns,” Rebecca Good said in a statement, according to the Washington Post.

Whistles are used by a local activist group, ICE Watch, to alert different neighborhoods of possible ICE operations.

Renee Nicole Good’s wife was antagonizing ICE agents and even urged her to “drive baby, drive” just moments before the fatal shooting in Minneapolis, according to shocking new video taken on the agent’s own cell phone.

The video — filmed by agent Jonathan Ross on Wednesday and obtained by Alpha News — shows the heated interaction between the Goods in the lead-up to the shooting.

Minneapolis Public Schools will be offering families the opportunity to attend class remotely as federal immigration authorities expand operations in the city.

Schools were already closed Thursday and Friday due to safety concerns after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old mom Renee Nicole Good during an immigration operation Wednesday.

About an hour away in St. Cloud, school officials said parents are worried about attending next week’s parent-teacher conferences with so many ICE agents in the area — some right outside the school building.

“Many parents do not feel safe coming to our schools because of the fear of being taken away from their schools, their homes, and their workplaces,” said Chris Erickson, a media specialist who is on leave while serving as president of the district’s teachers union.

In Bloomington, a suburb to Minneapolis’ south, teachers union president Wendy Marczak said it’s difficult for students to learn “when ICE is stalking your schools.”

Some families have stopped sending their kids to school, she said.

“ICE agents deliberately wait outside the school building during drop-off and pickup times, trying to catch parents and take them away,” Marczak said. “The consequences of those actions are devastating. Everyone is scared and angry. Teachers feel helpless to protect their students. Students are not coming to school. Learning is being lost.”

Hundreds of protesters descended on the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis for a second day of demonstrations – but were met with flashbangs and pepper spray, according to a report. 

The rowdy crowd with bullhorns and bells gathered Friday morning to protest the caught-on-camera shooting death of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, but quickly calmed down after law enforcement’s actions, according to CNN reporters at the scene.

At least one protester was seen being taken into custody as authorities put up barricades around the federal building, which is home to ICE headquarters in the city, photos show.

Yesterday, police deployed pepper spray outside the downtown facility and armed agents pushed the protesters back.

Thousands later marched through the streets on Minneapolis Thursday night calling for ICE to leave the city.

All Minneapolis Public Schools were closed Thursday and Friday, citing safety concerns, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has readied the National Guard for deployment to control protests, if needed.
