Renee Nicole Good, the activist shot by an Immigration and Customs
Enforcement agent in Minneapolis last week after the vehicle she was
operating made contact with the agent, appears to have been following aggressive tactics promoted by the leftist-funded organizing group
Defend the 612.

Good, 37, had joined ICE Watch, a loose network of activists tracking
and aiming to disrupt ICE activities, after discovering the network
through her sonrCOs charter school, the New York Post reported.

rCLMN ICE Watch,rCY an Instagram page, shared screenshots from a rCLde-arrestrCY
primer, which gives agitators advice on how to prevent law enforcement
officers from taking someone into custody.

The primer also appears on a list of rCLMN Community Response ResourcesrCY published by Defend the 612, a group that organizes rCLICE WatchrCY
activities. The resources page also recommends a tactic of rCLfollowing
ICE vehicles while honking and blowing on whistles when they are
sighted,rCY aiming to create rCLtraffic jams and slowdowns.rCY

While the ICE Watch groups appear to be loosely organized, some of the
LeftrCOs dark money nonprofits appear to have bankrolled a nonprofit that
has organized a fundraiser for Defend the 612.

rCLInterfering with federal law enforcement is a crime,rCY White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told The Daily Signal in a statement Monday. rCLAnyone who interferes with law enforcementrCothus committing a crimerCowill be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.rCY

Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at the
Department of Homeland Security, described Good as an agitator and
claimed that new evidence shows her rCLSTALKING and IMPEDING a law
enforcement operation over the course of the morningrCY of her death.

rCLThis footage corroborates what DHS has stated all alongrCothat this individual was impeding law enforcement and weaponized her vehicle in an attempt to kill or cause bodily harm to federal law enforcement,rCY
McLaughlin told The Daily Signal. rCLThe officer was in fear of his own
life, the lives of his fellow officers and acted in self-defense. The
American people can watch this video with their own eyes and ears and
judge for themselves.rCY

She warned that rCLif you weaponize a vehicle, a deadly weapon, to kill or cause bodily harm to a federal law enforcement officer that is an act of domestic terrorism and will be prosecuted as such.rCY

McLaughlin added that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi rCLNoem has been clear: Any rioter who obstructs, impedes, or assaults law enforcement
will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.rCY

De-Arrest Primer
The rCLde-arrestrCY primerrCOs aggressive tactics have gained attention
online.

rCLA de-arrest, aka an unarrest, is the act of freeing someone who has
been seized by Law Enforcement Officers,rCY the primer states. rCLA
de-arrest can look like physically removing an arrestee from LEOsrCO
grips, opening the door of a car, or pressuring LEOs to release and arrestee.rCY

The primer recommends hugging an arrestee with a secure grip; rCLpulling
and pushing an officer off of an arresteerCY; opening a car door to let
the arrestee go free; and pressuring law enforcement to release
arrestees by rCLtotally surrounding the officers who have the arrestee or otherwise blocking them and/or their vehicle.rCY

The document celebrates a rCLde-arrestrCY as rCLa rCyshaking offrCO which is to say each one is a micro-intifada which can spread and inspire others
until we may finally shake off this noxious ruling order all together.rCY

rCLIntifadarCY refers to the violent resistance of Arabs living in Israel against the Jewish state, particularly during the periods 1987-1993 and 2000-2005. Anti-Israel protesters chant the phrase rCLGlobalize the Intifada,rCY which critics call an incitement to violence and antisemitism against Jews worldwide.

Who Funds the rCyICE WatchrCO Groups?
Defend the 612 appears to take contributions under another name,
Cooperation Cannon River. The website Give Butter allows users to
contribute to Defend the 612 in a fundraising campaign rCLorganized by Cooperation Cannon River,rCY a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the employer identification number 82-0852275.

Various left-wing nonprofits have contributed to Cooperation Cannon
River.

MN350, a climate activist group, gave the group $75,050 in 2021 for
rCLCamp Migizi and Land Back Project,rCY according to federal tax records.

The organizationrCOs spokeswoman, Elli Anderson, told The Daily Signal in
a statement Monday that the funding was for land stewardship and
environmental work and was not law enforcement-related.

rCLMN350 is a climate justice organization focused on advancing policies
and community-led solutions that address climate pollution,
environmental harm, and the disproportionate impacts on communities
across Minnesota,rCY Anderson said. rCLWe do not organize, direct, or coordinate law enforcementrCorelated actions, nor do we develop or
distribute materials related to arrest tactics.rCY

rCLIn 2021, MN350 made a grant to Cooperation Cannon River for a specific project focused on Indigenous land stewardship and community-led climate work,rCY Anderson added. rCLThat support was limited to that project and
does not represent oversight of, or endorsement of, the activities or
materials of other organizations.rCY

When asked to shed light on Defend the 612 or Cooperation Cannon River,
she said, rCLWe are not able to comment on the tactics, language, or
materials of organizations outside our own.rCY

The Solutions Project, a left-leaning nonprofit co-founded by actor Mark Ruffalo, gave Cooperation Cannon River $50,000 as part of its Fund for Frontline Power grant initiative in 2023.

Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, a left-leaning grantmaker that gave
$410 million in grants in 2023, gave the group $15,517 in 2023 for rCLgeneralrCY expenses.

Amalgamated Charitable, the foundation of the union-aligned Amalgamated
Bank, gave Cooperation Cannon River $10,000 for rCLProject SupportrCY in
2022.

The Tides Foundation, a pass-through funder that has received millions
from Hungarian-American billionaire George SorosrCO Open Society
Foundations, gave $10,000 to the organization for rCLSustainable Environment,rCY according to IRS records.

The Proteus Fund, another left-leaning pass-through funder, gave the
group $10,000 for rCLRights & JusticerCY in 2021.

The Daily Signal has no evidence these funders intended to bankroll
anti-ICE activity. However, money is fungible, and while Defend the
612rCOs anti-ICE activity is visible online, Cooperation Cannon RiverrCOs environmental activities are more opaque.

Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, Amalgamated Charitable, Tides
Foundation, and Proteus Fund all contributed to the left-leaning
activist groups that shaped policy in President Joe BidenrCOs
administration. None of them responded to The Daily SignalrCOs request for comment by publication time.

Defend the 612 did not respond to a request for comment, and The Daily SignalrCOs calls to the phone numbers for Cooperation Cannon River listed
on the IRS forms were not answered.
