Three Shots in Minneapolis: From ICE Raids to American Fascism

This Tuesday night, Transition Radio goes inside the killing that should shake every person in this country: the execution of Renee Nicole Good on a Minneapolis street. She was a U.S. citizen, a mother of three, and frame‑by‑frame analysis shows she turned her steering wheel away from ICE agents one second before they shot her three times. The official story calls her a “domestic terrorist.” The evidence tells a very different story. In “Three Shots in Minneapolis: From ICE Raids to American Fascism,” the episode follows the bullets back through a century of policy: from Teddy Roosevelt’s white‑supremacist “forward race” ideology and FDR’s Japanese American concentration camps, to Operation Wetback, Bush’s Patriot Act, and the creation of ICE as a domestic shock force. This is not “broken policy”—it is a system engineered for racial control, impunity, and profit, now supercharged under Trump’s second term. We connect Renee’s death to a much larger machinery: 68,990 people in ICE detention, seven deaths in custody in a single month, sexual torture at Fort Bliss, 32,000 children unaccounted for in federal hands, and Trump’s $4.67 million deal to send deportees—including U.S. citizens—to El Salvador’s CECOT mega‑prison. All 14 classic warning signs of fascism are now active in U.S. policy. This is the episode for anyone still wondering if “it can happen here.” It already is.
