LATEST RIGHT NOW: Renee Good’s former father-in-law speaks out with six heartbreaking words — and the truth behind the incident is shaking the nation.

Renee Good’s former father-in-law on Tuesday said that he doesn’t blame US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for her fatal shooting that happened in Minneapolis last week.

Timmy Macklin told CNN that the shooting was a “hard situation all around,” adding that he believes “some bad choices” were made.

“I don’t blame ICE. I don’t blame [Good’s wife] Rebecca. I don’t blame Renee,” he said.

“I just wish that, you know, if we’re walking in the spirit of God, I don’t think she would have been there. That’s the way I look at it.”

Good was married to Macklin’s son, who died in 2023.

The two shared a son, who is now six years old.

Macklin remembered Good as “an amazing person” and “good mother” who was “full of life.”

“I just think we make bad choices, and that’s the problem, there is so much chaos in the whole world today,” he said. “We need to turn to God and walk in the spirit of God and let him lead us and guide us.”

When CNN anchor Erin Burnett pressed Macklin for his opinion on whether the shooting was justified, he said he “was not blaming anybody.”

Macklin said that he watched the witness cellphone video from an angle that shows Good’s vehicle striking the ICE agent.

“You know, in a flash like that, it’s hard to say how you’d react,” he said, adding that he heard the agent may have been dragged by a vehicle in a previous incident.

On Wednesday, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin confirmed to Fox News that the ICE agent suffered internal bleeding to his torso when he was struck by the vehicle.

Federal officials have said the agents acted in self-defense and labeled the incident an act of domestic terrorism, while Democratic officials have rejected the self-defense assertion.

He defied Air Traffic Control and landed on a restricted military base to save one dying passenger. The FAA suspended him within hours. Two days later, Air Force One landed at his tiny airport… and everything changed.  “Control, this is Flight 447. I have a medical emergency. Request immediate clearance to land at Fairfield Air Force Base.”  Captain Jake Morrison’s voice was steady — even as chaos erupted behind the cockpit door.  “Negative, 447. Fairfield AFB is restricted. Continue to Denver International.”  Forty minutes to Denver.  Seven minutes to Fairfield.  And seat 12A was already in cardiac arrest.  A middle-aged man traveling under the name Robert Wilson had collapsed mid-flight. Face gray. Pulse fading. Flight attendant Karen was on the floor performing CPR while passengers screamed and oxygen masks swayed.  Thirty minutes earlier, that same passenger had quietly handed her a card.  “If anything happens,” he’d said calmly, “call this number. Tell them Admiral Wilson is down.”  Admiral.  Karen thought he was confused.  Now the card felt heavier than the defibrillator in her hands.  Back in the cockpit, the tower’s warning was crystal clear:  “Any deviation will result in investigation and immediate suspension of your license.”  Jake looked at the radar. Looked at the clock.  Then he made the call.  “I’m declaring an emergency. Passenger is in cardiac arrest. Fairfield is seven minutes away. I’m making an unauthorized approach.”  His co-pilot stared at him. “Jake… that’s a career-ending move.”  “Not if he dies,” Jake replied.  He banked the aircraft toward restricted airspace.  Fighter escort was mentioned.  FAA penalties were guaranteed.  But the wheels touched down at Fairfield Air Force Base anyway.  Within hours, Jake’s license was suspended.  News outlets called it reckless.  Until 48 hours later — when Air Force One touched down at Jake’s small regional airport.  And the man from seat 12A stepped off alive.  Full story in the comments 👇

Pilot Made Unauthorized Landing to Save Passenger, Got Suspended, 2 Days Later, Air Force One Landed! In the…

“Stop hitting that dog — or I’ll end your badge.”  That’s what I told the deputy behind a quiet little gas station in Oak Grove… right before his sheriff pulled up smiling.  Kaiser was chained to a rusted post in the dirt. Ribs showing. Water bowl bone-dry. Raw skin carved into his neck where the chain had bitten too deep.  Deputy Grant Malloy stood over him, tapping a baton against his palm like he was bored.  “Still breathing,” he muttered.  I wasn’t from Oak Grove. Just passing through with my own K9 partner, Diesel — a retired military working dog who knows the smell of fear better than most humans.  Diesel saw Kaiser and went still. Not aggressive. Not barking.  Recognizing.  “You’re starving him,” I said.  Malloy shrugged. “Evidence. Nobody’s dog now.”  That’s when I started recording.  He didn’t like that.  The baton came down fast — caught my wrist — sent my phone flying into the dirt. Cameras at the gas pumps definitely caught the swing.  “You just assaulted a civilian,” I told him calmly. “And tried to destroy evidence.”  He grinned. “In Oak Grove? I decide what’s evidence.”  Then the patrol SUV rolled in. No lights. No siren.  Sheriff Calvin Rourke stepped out like he owned the ground.  He glanced at the dog. At me. Then smiled.  “That dog stays,” he said. “And you’re going to delete whatever you filmed… if you value your freedom.”  I looked at the chain cutting into Kaiser’s neck. Looked at the dried blood on the sheriff’s sleeve.  And then I noticed something else.  The harness strap didn’t say Kaiser.  It said Hollis.  And I’d heard that name before — tied to a missing person report that vanished from state records two weeks ago.  That’s when I realized this wasn’t about animal cruelty.  It was about a cover-up.  And they’d just picked the wrong witness.  Full story in the comments 👇
