Mainstream media is spinning the ICE shooting incident to paint Renee Nicole Good as a hero instead of an agitator, and while BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales admits that life lost is “always a tragedy” — she’s not pleased with the media’s biased reaction.

“When life is lost, it’s always tragedy. But this is one of those things that’s like, guys, I don’t know. Don’t do that. Don’t commit crimes. Don’t impede ICE’s work. Don’t do that,” Gonzales says on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

Good was a mother of three who was attending a protest with her wife, who, following the tragic death, was seen yelling that it was her fault for forcing her wife to join her.

“This is a woman who unfortunately lost her life due to the consequences of her own actions. And so it’s just incredible to see the media slobbering all over her as if she were some hero, as if she didn’t do this to herself,” Gonzales says.

One article from NBC News on the story is headlined, “Woman fatally shot by ICE agent remembered as ‘one of the kindest people.’”

Another article from the Washington Post is titled, “Woman killed by ICE in Minneapolis was a mother of 3 and a poet.”

“She could rhyme well, so you know, she must have been a good gal. Now she was a mother of three, only apparently had one of them living with her. We don’t know why, but she was a mother, and she was basically Dr. Seuss, and also she was an avid writer and hobby guitarist who won a poetry prize in 2020,” Gonzales comments.

“I don’t gloat in her death,” she continues. “I don’t mock her death. I don’t wish ill will on her family. In fact, I find it absolutely tragic. I find it absolutely tragic that this child that she had custody of ‘cause the dad was dead, her 6-year-old is now an orphan.”

“I find that horribly sad. But I find the coverage of this in the mainstream media to just be absolutely disgusting,” she says, pointing out that the mainstream media’s coverage of Ashli Babbitt, who was killed by Capitol Police officers on January 6, couldn’t have been less favorable to the victim.

“NBC News,” Gonzales reads, “Woman killed in Capitol was Trump supporter who embraced conspiracy theories.”

The subhead that followed wasn’t any better, reading, “Social media profiles connected to Ashli Babbitt were almost singularly focused on radical conservative topics and conspiracy theories.”

“Oh, she was just a crazy right-wing nut job who had it coming,” Gonzales says.

The L.A. times called the January 6 protest a “deadly insurrection” when it reported on it.

“Here’s the funny thing,” Gonzales says, “the deadly part of it was Ashli Babbitt.”

The mayor of an Arkansas town who was praised as the youngest black mayor in history has been accused of paying off a 14-year-old boy to keep quiet about inappropriate Snapchat messages.

Earle Mayor Jaylen Smith, 21, is being investigated by the Arkansas State Police after receiving a tip from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

‘The mayor did pay my son $500 to not tell me, but he ended up telling me anyway.’

A woman told WREG-TV that the mayor had met her son in 2024 at Earle High School, where her son attended. The mayor gave her son clothes and money, according to the woman, who asked to remain anonymous, and then made sexual advances via Snapchat messages.

She provided correspondence from a person she said was the mayor, but WREG said it was not able to independently verify that the account belonged to the mayor.

She said that she told her son to tell the man to stop contacting him but that he persisted. She alleges that the man then paid him money to keep it quiet.

“The mayor did pay my son $500 to not tell me, but he ended up telling me anyway,” she said.

Smith denied the claims vehemently in a statement Friday.

“I want to speak directly and clearly to the people of Earle: the accusations being reported are false. I am innocent. Truth matters, and in time, the truth will stand on its own,” reads the statement in part.

“While I would like to directly and unequivocally address the allegations against me, I have been advised to reserve any substantive statements regarding the allegations until a later date,” he added.

WREG reported that the superintendent of Earle Schools expressed concern in Nov. 2024 over the mayor visiting the campus. The district’s attorney sent a letter asking the mayor to ask permission prior to visits and to express the purpose of those visits.

Smith had been elected in 2022 just months after graduating from high school when he was 18 years old. He is not currently facing charges.

Earle is a town of about 1,700 residents located 30 minutes west of Memphis.

Renee Nicole Good, the woman who was shot and killed by an ICE officer while driving her car at him, wasn’t just reportedly tied to a violent extremist group.

Good was a dedicated anti-ICE activist and mother of three who was putting her 6-year-old son into a charter school that boasts that social justice is the school’s number-one priority and prioritizes involving children in political and social activism.

According to counterterrorism expert and investigative researcher Ryan Mauro, this charter school is likely how Good first stumbled upon Minnesota ICE Watch.

“It was actually fairly easy research to do, because they were openly radical. It turned out this isn’t really about the issue of protecting undocumented migrants, illegal immigrants, and protecting people from the abuse of the law enforcement,” Mauro tells Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on “The Glenn Beck Program.”

“It’s actually about doing things like eliminating America and setting cop cars on fire. 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,” Mauro says.

“They do not recognize the United States as a legitimate country. They have posts that refer to it as Turtle Island,” he adds.

“Oh my gosh, they’re Turtle Island people,” Glenn laughs.

“Turtle Island — I’m not even sure it has a ton of merit, but it goes to this belief that a lot of the anarchists and communists spread out there, saying that just like Israel should be referred to as Palestine, then all of North and Central America should be referred to as Turtle Island, because they say that the indigenous people, the Native Americans, that’s what they all referred to it as,” Mauro explains.

“I’m not finding a ton of verification that that’s actually true. But that’s what they say, in order to basically indirectly call for the destruction of the United States. … And so when they start talking about ‘liberating Turtle Island,’ that’s what they’re calling for,” he continues.

And while social media posts from Minnesota ICE Watch will have a simple caption like, “How to start a community defense center in your neighborhood,” the photograph accompanying it will be “a cop car on fire.”

“So when they say to set up your community defense center in your local neighborhood, that’s a violent intention. That’s how you build an insurgency,” Mauro tells Glenn, who points out that in a fiery speech after the shooting, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) began “empowering and activating a neighborhood revolutionary guard.”

“This is a group that is telling you as neighbors, ‘Here’s how we get together and protect your neighborhood from these evil police,’” Glenn says. “This is what’s happening, and the governor is encouraging it and speaking the same language.”
