Someone has started a GoFundMe for ICE agent Jonathan Ross who murdered Ms Good. This violates GoFundMe terms of service as described in this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Raids/s/cr3aUMhFNE
They also included information on how to report it.
The GoFundMe has unfortunately already raised a lot of money.

Msw media. Hello and welcome to the Daily beans for Monday, January 12, 2026. Today, Minneapolis prosecutors say they will investigate the murder of Rene Good, despite the FBI trying to block them. The Trump administration says it's going to deploy more Border Patrol agents to Minneapolis. A day after the shooting, Kristi Noem quietly issued a memo limiting congressional visits to ICE detention centers. The National Portrait Gallery has removed information about Trump's impeachments and replaced it with a giant portrait of him instead. Federal judge has blocked key parts of Trump's election order. Another federal Judge blocked his $10 billion freeze on child care. And yet another federal judge blocked his move to end family immigration parole stat status. And Virginia Democrats signal a push to redraw their maps. I'm, your host, Alison Gill. Hey, everybody. Happy Monday. I hope you had a restful weekend. I hope you all enjoyed Andy McCabe and I breaking down this shooting in the A block of the Unjustified podcast this weekend. There was a lot of other news to cover as well. There's also a new episode of the Breakdown on, the Midas Touch Network. There's a link in the show Notes for you for that. That's me and Katie Fang going over some interesting information a whistleblower shared with me that we were able to put in contact with the House Oversight Committee about the release of the Epstein files. And I have some important law stuff to tell you about on today's Beans Talk episode that I'm not going to be able to cover here. So please make sure to tune in on the MSW Media media channel on YouTube and just search for Beans Talk. All right, everybody, Dana is traveling. She will be back in your ears tomorrow. Sorry about the last minute notification. So thanks for hanging in with me solo. let's hit the hot notes. Hot notes up first from the Washington Post. Minnesota's top prosecutors will conduct their own review of Renee Nicole Good's killing by an ICE agent after the state's Criminal Investigative Bureau said the FBI had iced it out of the investigation. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and Minnesota Attorney General and really amazing person Keith Ellison announced the review Friday at a news conference. They said the effort would ensure state authorities have access to investigative materials such as video and witness statements if the case merits state level charges. Quote, I want to be very clear about this. This is not because we have our concerns about the FBI investigation. This is from Moriarty. She said, based on a previous experience with the FBI processes, we are concerned that the evidence obtained in an investigation that has only been conducted at the federal level will not be shared with our office for review. The decision to review Good's killing came a day after the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, or the bca, said the FBI was revoking its access to the case files, seen evidence and witness interview. Asked by reporters Friday whether the FBI should be sharing those materials with state officials, Trump said, normally I would, but they're crooked. Trump didn't offer any details about that, but Minnesota Governor Tim Walls has been criticized for not acting earlier to stop alleged welfare fraud in the state. But that ringleader was prosecuted and is in prison. So whatever. The decision not to share evidence with Minnesota authorities marks a break from past high profile investigations in which local, state and federal officials work together. Which is all of them. All of them. I talked to Andy about this. I'm like, have you ever seen this? No. No. The only time in recent memory it's happened is when the Southern District of New York under Trump stopped the local district attorney in Manhattan from going forward with the investigation into the Stormy Daniels hush money election interference case, another case to protect Trump or the Trump administration. So this decision is just bizarre. But you know, some of the other high profile cases where local law enforcement worked with the FBI. Then Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin when he murdered George Floyd in 2020. Also what happened in Utah, the school shooting that took out Charlie Kirk. Now Vice President J.D. vance on Thursday called goods killing a federal issue because it involved a federal agent engaging in federal law enforcement. Quote, that guy's protected by absolute immunity. That is not true, but that's what Vance said from the White House. State authorities pushed back on that bullshit claim on Friday, saying the shooting was outside their jurisdiction. No, it's not. Quote, to be sure, there are complex legal issues when a federal law enforcement officer is involved, but the law is clear that we do have jurisdiction. That's Moriarty. Quote, we cannot make any decision, however, if there's not evidence submitted to our office. So hopefully they keep pushing something else. I was wondering too, if the family or the wife of Renee Nicole Goode files a wrongful death lawsuit in civil court. I'm wondering if that discovery can then be handed over to the BCA or the DA in Hennepin county or Keith Ellison. Anyway, just a thought there. Next up from the Times, the Trump administration is deploying more than 100 U.S. customs and Border Protection agents and officers to Minnesota from operations in Chicago and New Orleans after the fatal shooting of the 37 year old woman. That's according to DOC documents obtained by The Times. The Department of Homeland Security plans to pause operations in Chicago, where Gregory Bevino, a Border Patrol official, has led controversial arrest efforts. And I'll just break in here and say where Bavino has lied to Judge Ellis blatantly over and over again and admitted to it. To support the immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota, sending Bavino into Minnesota. Border Patrol officials also plan to send all non lethal weapons housed in Chicago to Minnesota. According to documents, the increased presence of Border Patrol agents is expected to last through the weekend, with a planned return to their cities on Sunday. That's according to the Department of Homeland Security, which would be yesterday. If you're listening to this Monday, the surge of Border Patrol agents in the Twin Cities comes as local officials have called on immigration officers to leave Minneapolis after the killing of Renee Nicole Good on Wednesday. Asking them to leave is a nice way of putting it. Mayor Fry said, get the fuck out. And I don't blame him. And to see Kristen Welker on, Meet the Press on NBC. Ask him, oh, shouldn't you be responsible for bringing down the temperature, Bitch. ICE murdered somebody. They shot someone in the face and you're asking Jacob Fry to bring down the temperature? The temperature was not brought up by the fuck bomb, okay? The temperature was increased by shooting someone in the face who was clearly fleeing the scene anyway. Also from the Times. The day after an immigration officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, the Trump administration reinstated limits preventing lawmakers from making unannounced visits to immigration facilities. That's according to a court filing made public over the weekend. In a memo dated Thursday, the Homeland Security secretary, Kristi Noem, said she would once again require lawmakers to give seven days notice before conducting oversight visits to Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, concentration camps. Ms. Noem's new guidelines on lawmaker visits are virtually identical to a policy that a federal judge shot down last month after ruling it appeared to violate a provision of the appropriations law that funds ice. But Noem says that she would bypass that ruling by using another source, the injection of funds given to the agency through the One Big Beautiful Bill act that President Trump signed, which more than tripled ICE's annual budget. Noem's memo filed in court Saturday, is all but certain to further stoke the conflict between Democrats and the Trump administration over its deportation push. As federal officials have increased immigration enforcement efforts, they've been met with increasingly hostile protests. I don't think that's true. Increasing peaceful protests, including in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good. Ms. Good's killing provoked a widespread outcry and peaceful protests. I added the peaceful myself across the United States. This is interesting framing from the times here. Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland security, said that Ms. Noem issued the new limitations directly in response to, quote, rising unrest, which she referred to as escalating riots and political violence. Why? What does that have to do. What does increased protests have to do with lawmakers having access to inspect detention facilities now? Democrats who had sued the department over the earlier guidance vowed to challenge this new policy in court. Joe Neguse, who I love of Colorado, a party to this lawsuit, called the memo a clear attempt to subvert the ruling made last month. Federal immigration officials on Saturday used Ms. Noem's guidance to deny Representatives Angie Craig, Ilhan Omar and Kelly Morrison, all Minnesota Democrats, from entering a detention facility in Minneapolis since 2020. The federal appropriations law that annually funds ICE prohibits it from using congressionally appropriated funds to deny lawmakers physical access to their facilities. Congress has not yet passed a law to fund the Homeland Security Department this year, and as we know, it faces a January 30 deadline for doing so to avoid a partial government shutdown. Next up from the Post. And we're staying in the fascist territory here, but we're switching from murder to propaganda. This is from the National Portrait Gallery. They removed a swath of text that mentioned Trump's two impeachments and the January 6th insurrection, and it swapped it out for a prominent photo of him. Trump and the White House posted on social media Friday and Saturday to highlight the updated portrait in the America's Presidents exhibition, which now features a framed black and white photo by White House photographer Daniel Toroka. It shows Trump staring intensely with his fists on the Resolute desk, an image the president first shared on Truth Social last year. It replaced a photo by Washington Post photojournalist Matt McClain, which showed Trump with his hands folded in front of him and was accompanied by a long caption recounting Trump's first term, his reelection impeached twice on charges of abuse of power and incitement of an insurrection after supporters attacked the US Capitol on January 6th. He was acquitted by the Senate in both trials. That's what it read. That's gone now. And this isn't the first time the Smithsonian has removed material mentioning congressional attempts to remove Trump from office since he launched a public campaign to remove what he calls woke ideology from US Cultural institutions. Spearheaded by Lindsey Halligan, by the way, who has until tomorrow to answer a judge's sua Sponte order directing her to inform him how she's not lying to the court, how she's not committing stuff that could get her disbarred by calling herself still the U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia. But anyway, in July, the National Museum of American History briefly removed, then restored references to Trump's impeachment in its exhibition the American A Glorious Burden. So we'll keep an eye on this, but they replaced it with a really menacing photo of him in the National Portrait Gallery. Let's switch to some better news. Okay, let's go to democracy docket. A federal court blocked core provisions of Trump's anti voting executive order on Friday, ruling that the president has no authority to impose new election rules that threaten to disenfranchise voters and override state law. In a very sweeping order, District Judge John Chun, appointed by Joe Biden, ruled in favor of Washington and Oregon permanently halting enforcement of key sections of Executive Order 14248. That's Trump's March 2025 directive aimed at reshaping how states run election. The court found the order violated the Constitution by attempting to concentrate election power in the presidency, a move the judge warned posed a direct threat to democracy. Quote, in the framework of our Constitution, the president's power to see that the laws are faithfully executed refutes the idea that he is to be a lawmaker. Accordingly, the Constitution entrusts Congress and the states, not the president, with the authority to regulate federal elections. This ruling blocks provisions that would have forced voters to produce documentary proof of citizenship to register using federal forms. It pressured states to comply by threatening to withhold election funding, and imposed a national deadline banning states from counting mail in ballots received after election Day, even if those ballots were postmarked on time. Now, Washington and Oregon, both universal vote by mail states, warned that Trump's order would have upended their election systems, imposed massive new costs, and locked eligible voters out of the democratic process. And the court agreed, rejecting the administration's argument that the executive order merely enforced existing law. Quote, the court declares that Washington's and Oregon's existing laws governing ballot receipt deadlines are not preempted unless and until Congress amends these statutes and elections clause authorizes Washington and Oregon to maintain their existing laws, which permit the counting of certain ballots received after election Day. Now, of course, we know, and I'm just cutting in here, that Trump has changed the postmark thing, right? Where it's not postmarked when it's received, it's postmarked when it's processed, so he's going to be trying to fuck with mail in voting that way. That went into effect the end of last year, like last month, I should say the end of last year sounds so long ago because this first 12 days of January has been two decades anyway. The judge also blocked Trump's attempt to strong arm states by tying federal election funding to compliance with his order, saying, quote, the president has no authority to unilaterally impose new conditions on federal funds or thwart congressional will by canceling appropriations passed by Congress. The injunction in this case is formally limited to Washington and Oregon, the two states that brought the lawsuit. But the court made clear that meaningful relief required blocking federal election officials from implementing the unlawful provisions altogether as they relate to those states, even if doing so has spillover beyond those two states. In issuing a permanent injunction, the court framed its decision as a corrective not just for this dispute, but for the broader constitutional order, quote, in granting this relief, the court seeks to restore the proper balance of power among the executive branch, the states and Congress envisioned by the framers. That's what the judge wrote. More good news from Politico. A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from freezing $10 billion in welfare funds earmarked for five blue states in response to a request from the states for an emergency injunction. US District Judge Arun Subramanian, he ordered that the money from these programs, Child Care Development Fund, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, and Social Services block grants must continue to flow to the states. His decision, which expires in two weeks because it's a tro, was meant to give the two sides time to submit more extensive legal arguments on whether the cut should be allowed or a ban kept in place. Earlier in the week, California, Colorado, Illinois, New York and Minnesota received letters from the federal Department of Health and Human Services notifying them of the cuts. California is in line to receive about half of the $10 billion in targeted funding. The attempt to withhold the funds was in response to what the Trump administration has alleged without evidence is widespread fraud and waste in the state's welfare programs. Along with the cuts, administration officials are also requesting reams of information about how states administer the programs. And in an effort to bolster the claims of malfeasance and ineptitude, California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the attorneys general from the other states filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration late Thursday night and sought the emergency order to preserve the funding. As the case got underway. And that's what the judge did, the states argued that the administration was overstepping its power by trying to claw back funds that Congress has already appropriated. How many times has he done this? It's an argument similar to others that have been successful in reversing Trump's proposed cuts to food aid, research grants, school funding and other programs. And more Good news from the Hill A federal judge signaled on Friday she plans to block the Trump administration's decision to end family reunification parole programs for citizens from seven Latin American countries. U.S. district Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, said during a hearing that she will issue a temporary restraining order on the Trump administration's move by Monday. Today, the termination of these programs could affect an estimated 10 to 12,000 people seeking temporary legal status from Guatemala, Cuba, Haiti, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador and Honduras. The Family Reunification Task Force, as we know, was started by Joe Biden in 2021, and it sought to reunify families who were separated during immigration crackdowns In Trump's first term, during which an estimated 2,800 children were separated from their parents. Under the task force's Family Reunification parole program, the U.S. government extended temporary residency to parents of children with U.S. citizenship. A report from the Department of Homeland Security in March of 2024 states that the program had assisted in reunifying a total of 795 families. And one last story here. This is good news in election news from Democracy Docket. Virginia Democrats are openly expressing willingness to pursue a congressional redistricting plan that would create 10 out of 11 Democratic leaning seats in the state's U.S. house delegation, a move that could have major implications for control of Congress in 2026. The development reflects how aggressively Democrats in Richmond are responding to Trump's nationwide push for mid decade Republican gerrymanders. Some Democrats have warned that if left unchallenged, Trump's efforts could lock in a GOP House majority before voters even cast a ballot. Several Virginia lawmakers have publicly embraced a map that would leave Republicans with just one of Virginia's 11 U.S. house seats. The comments come as the General assembly prepares to reconvene next Wednesday and Democrats move quickly to advance a constitutional amendment allowing mid decade congressional redistricting. Quote, I said in August of 2025 that the maps will be 10 to 1, and I'm sticking with that today. That's Louise Lucas, Virginia Senate President pro tempore. Anyone in the congressional delegation who wants a seat needs to campaign for it and not expect a safe seat. Lucas's statement removes any doubt that the most powerful Democrat in the state Senate views a maximal response as both justified and necessary her stance reflects a broader belief among Virginia Democrats that restraint would amount to unilateral disarmament in a national redistricting fight already being driven by Republicans. Quote, if democracy is in danger from Trump's attempts to mid decade redraw in Texas, Mississippi and North Carolina, then we must act accordingly. That's Skyler Van Valkenberg, a Democratic state senator whose support is seen as pivotal inside the caucus. And that's what they posted on social media, went on to say in January. I'm not voting to send redistricting to voters just to reinforce the status quo. We can get 8 to 3 with the current maps. 10 to 1, right? Senator Louise Lucas. That was the post. Van Valkenberg has often been viewed as one of the caucus's more reluctant members when it comes to redistricting. So his embrace of a 101 outcome has led Virginia political observers to conclude that any internal resistance to leveling the field has largely collapsed. The momentum toward a 10:1 map is rooted in events far beyond Virginia's borders. Over the past year, Trump and national Republicans have pressured GOP controlled states to redraw congressional maps mid decade outside the normal census process to cement partisan advantages before the midterms. Democrats argue without a, comparable response, states like Virginia would be forced to absorb the national consequences of GOP gerrymanders elsewhere. To that end, Virginia Democrats are advancing a, ah, constitutional amendment that would temporarily allow the General assembly to redraw congressional districts mid decade if other states do the same. The amendment would not dismantle Virginia's voter approved bipartisan redistricting commission for regular cycles, but it would give lawmakers a narrow window to act in response to out of state moves. National Democrats are paying close attention. Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, met this week with Virginia's Democratic members of Congress as party leaders weighed whether a 9 to 2 or 10 to 1 map best serves Democrats chances of retaking the House. I'm not, I, you know, I was okay at math. I didn't major in it. But a 10:1 map increases your chances of retaking the U.S. house more than a 9 to 2 map. I'm just saying. Some Democrats, including Governor elect Abigail Spanberger, have urged caution, warning that an aggressive map could complicate the statewide referendum required to activate the amendment. But legislative leaders in Richmond appear increasingly convinced that voters will understand the stakes and that failing to respond forcefully would hand Republicans a, structural advantage nationwide. All right, everybody, that is the news for today. Don't forget to tune into the beans talk. I'm going to be going over a couple of things I didn't cover here, but we still have some good news to get to. We're gonna do that right after this break. Stick around.

Pronouns she and her hello, longtime listener, first time writer. I'm passing along someone else's good trouble I think your audience will be interested in. As a Reddit user has posted, someone has started a GoFundMe for ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who murdered Ms. Good. This violates GoFundMe terms of service as described in the post. They also include information on how to report it. The GoFundMe has unfortunately already raised a lot of money, so we will have a link to the Reddit post and to the GoFundMe in the episode notes and as podpet tax I've attached my sweetie pie treasure. Oh, look at this baby reading a book. Sweet void kitty with the amber eyes. Oh, Charlotte. Love it. Thank you so much. Yeah, go report this murderous asshole's gofundme account. Jesus fuck. All right, next up from Jim Pronouns, he and him. Ladies of lustrous legumination. Just wanted to share a picture of the ice out for good honk and wave that indivisible Tompkins had on Saturday the 10th. I helped get the word out for the rally and and on one day's notice, we had over 300 people show up to protest ICE in our little town of Ithaca, New York. Ithaca is gorgeous for my podbet tariff. You've seen our two 17 year old cats? Yes, Luna and Leo. Now we have a third named Misty, a three year old which we got from our SPCA who is a bundle of energy. Yes, I imagine a 3 year old compared to your two 17 year old babies would definitely seem like a bundle of energy. Look at the sweet baby. Oh, she's so cute. Hi, Misty. Beautiful coloration. That's a cool like orange slash gray tabby mix. So very pretty. And awesome job on getting the word out on that protest, Jim. Thank you so much. Next up from Diana Pronoun. She and her dear beautiful beans. I just want to share some good news from the heart of Kentucky. Our local indivisible chapter has held an impromptu rally this weekend to protest foreign entanglements and domestic state sponsored terrorism ice. I live in Jamie Comer's district. Oh, I'm sorry, Diane. He has no less than four people filed to primary him. But the good news is one amazing candidate, Drew Williams, has stepped up to run for the seat on the Democratic ticket.

All right, Next up from Anonymous. Hi AG and dg. I came across a CBC article here in Canada that talked about some old words that had meanings relevant to this regime's government.

Someone who insists they're right despite evidence to the contrary. As in JD Vance is a puffy mumpsimus and an odious snallygoster. Love you ladies. Please keep up the Good work. Anonymous.
