NEW: Counterterrorism Expert Reveals Renee Good’s Bizarre Path To Far-Left Group

As media outlets rushed to portray Renee Good as a benign legal “observer” before she was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday, Glenn Beck offered a far different narrative, pointing to what he said were the woman’s ties to a radical activist network.

On Friday’s episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Beck interviewed counterterrorism expert Ryan Mauro of the Mauro Institute, who detailed Good’s alleged connection to Minnesota ICE Watch, a group that openly works to “document and resist” federal immigration enforcement in the state.

“Again, you don’t park your car across the road to block it if you’re just an observer.”

Mauro said his research suggested Good first became aware of Minnesota ICE Watch through her child’s charter school, which he described as “openly radical” and focused on getting children involved in political activism.

According to Mauro, the group itself operates far beyond passive observation.

“You go to their social media page, and it doesn’t take much work, actually, to find instructions on how to assault police in order to free people, open up cop car doors, and pull people out,” he said.

“They do not recognize the United States as a legitimate country,” Mauro added, saying the group instead refers to the U.S. as “Turtle Island,” a remark that prompted Beck to laugh during the segment.

Mauro argued that Minnesota ICE Watch’s objectives go well beyond monitoring law enforcement, describing the group’s rhetoric as focused on “eliminating America” and “setting cop cars on fire.” He pointed to a social media post that included “a depiction of a cop car on fire.”

“That’s how you build an insurgency,” Mauro said, citing what he described as the “violent intention” behind the imagery.

Beck also played a clip of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, from earlier in the week, in which the governor urged people to “rise up as neighbors.” Beck suggested Walz’s comments echoed the same kind of charged rhetoric embraced by radical activist groups.

Beck said the governor’s remarks amounted to priming a “neighborhood revolutionary guard,” particularly given the types of groups likely to respond to such calls.

Both Beck and Mauro rejected media portrayals of Good as a neutral bystander, insisting the facts told a different story.

“She was not just somebody who is there to observe. Again, you don’t park your car across the road to block it if you’re just an observer. That’s insanity, and we all know it. Will anyone actually admit to that in the press?”
