Moving to Canada because of political situation: Renee Good, woman killed by ICE in Minneapolis, briefly left US with gay partner

Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old woman, who was shot dead by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, briefly left the US and lived in Canada after President Donald Trump won the election in 2024, reports claimed.

Good's personal life has come on the radar as contradictory claims have been made about her presence at the protest Wednesday. Some of her family members claimed Good was not an activist but her partner Rebecca said she brought her there. Eyewitnesses claimed they were making videos of the protest.

Married thrice, briefly lived in Canada because of Trump

Good was married thrice and the last time was with Rebecca. With her first husband, Good had two children but did not get their custody after the divorce.

With her second husband, who died in 2023, Good had a six-year-old son who was being raised by Renee and Rebecca. It's believed that Renee and Rebecca went to the place after dropping their son.

A Washington Post profile of Renee said she grew up in Colorado Springs, attended Coronado High School and graduated winning "best personality". Good attended Metropolitan State University of Denver briefly in 2014 and 2015.

After she and her first husband divorced, Good married Timmy Macklin Jr., who served in the US Air Force. In 2019, she began studying creative writing at Old Dominion University in Virginia. By 2020, Good had won a prestigious prize for one of her poems. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English that December.In 2023, Timmy Macklin died at the age of 36, and Good became primarily a stay-at-home mom, her first husband said.Then Renee met Rebecca, fell in love and got married. They settled in Kansas City, Missouri. As a gay couple living in a red state, they were not very political and they broke their lease after Trump won in 2024 and said they were moving to Canada because of the political situation.Renee and Rebecca moved to Minneapolis around a year ago for the diverse community they found on the south side of Minneapolis.
