On January 7, 2026, Renee Nicole Good, a United States citizen and a mother, lost her life during a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation. Her death has shaken her community and deeply troubled many across the nation, raising grief, questions, and a call for truth.
Renee was a daughter, a loved one, and a human being created in the image of God. She leaves behind family and a child who will now carry the weight of her absence. Those who knew her have spoken of her humanity, her presence, and the love she carried into the lives around her.
The circumstances surrounding her death are under investigation, and differing accounts have been presented. What remains unquestionable is this: a life was lost, and a family was forever changed. In moments like these, we are called not to harden our hearts, but to turn toward prayer, truth, and peace.
