ICE Killed A White Mother. Why Are Trump And Other White Men Cheering?

[B.See]

In this article, author Dr. Stacey Patton makes some interesting and rather pointed observations about the MAGA demonization of Renee Good, the vile, mean spirited misogynistic nature of it, and the ideology behind it.

Which, frankly, figures, considering many Republicans are even now, in 2026, QUESTIONING a women's right to vote.

The four paragraphs excerpted below don't even BEGIN to cover this piece. And no doubt there are more complexities to the story, but I found the author's take on the MAGA male psyche,

and how long sustained right wing attacks upon women and women's right seem to have now come full circle, spot on.

ICE Killed A White Mother. Why Are The President And Other White Men Cheering? -Newsone What happened to Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis made clear that the protection white women were promised is only conditional.

The killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Tuesday is not just another case of militarized immigration enforcement gone wrong. It is a rupture in a social contract that long promised white women safety in exchange for compliance. And it is also a chilling illustration of just how quickly that promise evaporates when women challenge authority. 

[White women] were taught by law, culture, and by proximity to whiteness that their bodies were protected terrain. That their compliance would be rewarded with safety. That motherhood softened force. That respectability functioned as armor. That even when the state was brutal, it was brutal elsewhere.

The speed and ferocity with which her killing has been defended and mocked, most loudly by white men invoking obedience, law, and order, and amplified by Donald Trump’s cruelty, reveals a deeper reality. The protections tied to whiteness, womanhood, and motherhood are thinning fast in an authoritarian culture increasingly comfortable with brute force. 

What has made this moment so unmistakably vicious is not just the defense of Good’s killing, but that it has been so saturated with misogynistic pleasure. The comments I’ve seen across my own social media timelines and threads are gleeful. I’m seeing white men say things like “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” “FAFO.”  I’m seeing mostly white men congratulating themselves on the neatness of her death, on the clarity of the punishment, on the satisfaction of watching a woman be made an example of.
