Renee Good’s Family Member Issues Stark Message To Protestors: ‘Turn Back To God’

The former father-in-law of Renee Nicole Good delivered a blunt message to anti-ICE protesters following her death, urging them to abandon anger and turn back to faith instead.

Tim Macklin Sr., whose son was previously married to Good, said he does not blame the federal agent involved in the fatal shooting and described the incident as the tragic result of a series of bad decisions rather than malice.

Macklin said the turmoil unfolding in Minneapolis reflects a deeper moral crisis and warned the country will continue tearing itself apart unless Americans return to God.

“I have no blame for anybody. I want to be a peacemaker,” Macklin said Friday on “Fox & Friends.”

“I heard somebody say earlier that this is a spiritual warfare, and it is, it’s not political, it’s spiritual,” he added.

Good’s death has been seized on by activists to fuel ongoing demonstrations and confrontations with law enforcement in Minneapolis. The protests erupted after the 37-year-old was shot and killed during a confrontation with federal immigration agents on Jan. 7.

The Department of Homeland Security has defended the ICE officer’s actions, saying Good attempted to “weaponize her vehicle” against agents. Minnesota officials have disputed that account and announced a separate state investigation, even as a federal review continues.

Macklin said he has watched video of the shooting and reiterated that he is not seeking to assign blame to the agent involved, noting how quickly the situation unfolded.

“In a flash like that, who knows what anybody would do,” he said.

“This nation is getting out of control,” Macklin added. “Unless people turn back to God or repent, it’s going to keep getting worse.”

As protests continue to intensify, President Donald Trump warned Thursday that he may consider invoking the Insurrection Act, which would allow the deployment of the military to enforce federal law.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pushed back, urging Trump not to take that step and instead called on residents to remain calm.

“And an appeal to Minnesotans: I know this is scary. We can, we must, speak out loudly, urgently, but also peacefully. We cannot fan the flames of chaos. That’s what he wants,” Walz wrote on X.
