In reply to the discussion: New angle shows Good blocking the street and honking before the shooting. [View all]EarlG

Edited to add: Reading back, I think I misunderstood your post. You were saying that they wouldn't be able to find her easily, since her car was registered in Missouri. I guess the question is, why would they bother looking for her anyway? These guys are Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They're not traffic cops. All they had to do was drive their cars around her and the situation was over. Why give her plate number to the local police so that they could go round to her house later and give her a ticket? It would be a waste of everyone's time.
Here's the rest of my original post, for the record:
She lived in Minnesota:
Good was active as a volunteer in a network of "neighborhood patrols" comprising hundreds of community members and organized by local activists to track, monitor and record ICE operations in Minneapolis, according to Michelle Gross, president of the Minnesota-based Community United Against Police Brutality and a paralegal for the National Lawyers Guild.
Gross, who told Reuters she had "first-hand" knowledge of Good's participation in the ICE-"observer" patrols, said "that's what she was doing" when she was confronted and shot by a federal agent.

And she recently lived in Kansas City:
The Honda Pilot SUV that Good was in at the time of her killing had a Missouri license plate, with multiple sources later confirming the vehicle was registered to a Kansas City, Missouri, address.
Good was living in Kansas City as recently as 2023, according to a petition filed in Jackson County Circuit Court to change her last name.

Even if she drove from Missouri to Minnesota that day (which she didn't), it doesn't matter. She was engaging in peaceful civil disobedience, committing at worst a minor traffic offense when ICE instigated the chain of events that led to her murder.
It's not illegal to drive from Missouri to Minneapolis to protest ICE, but the more people are talking about her activism as if simply being an activist is a crime, the more troubled I become. Protesting ICE is not a crime. Following ICE is not a crime. Yes, she committed a minor traffic offense. For that, she was killed, and the overwhelming attitude on the right seems to be that she deserved it because she was an activist.

If Good was not named in a juducual warrant, then ICE has no power of arrest

He was clearly furious with her. Because he couldn't terrorize her or arrest her.

Sadly, when you got the president coming out saying you're a hero for stone cold murder...

"She was actually interfering with law enforcement and could have been arrested. Sorry, that's the reality."

I've no idea... the charge I would have slapped on her would have been impeding law enforcement...

It's legal to protest, what she did might warrant a traffic citation

No law enforcement was happening, she was trying to follow orders, and any of the things you describe in your OP

"This proves she was murdered by ICE." What does? Ross being frustrated? Plenty of jurors would find that justifiable.

You are correct... all I have is video angles... Are you saying they didn't murder her? They clearly did!

I agree... but I think this video proves the ICE agent acted out of anger... not duty.

There were posts stating the police could just go to her house and arrest her since they had her plate number

Correct... she lived on the street. Any real police would have just tacked on another charge...

Has ICE in the current crackdown ever "followed up" with an impeding arrest?

ICE had no legal authority to tell a US citizen to get out of the vehicle and they are also not traffic cops

Find myself wondering: how many people who say she was blocking traffic have ever driven on icy roads

Even in this, your most charitable interpretation, her crime was to blow her horn and whistle.
