GoFundMe has raised over a million dollars for the grieving partner, although the original intention was to raise $50,000, and no more, according to the Minneapolis Tribune.
Strangers are down on the streets mourning Good, and everyone who knew her wants to say she was just a sweet ray of sunshine.
ICE was working to remove criminals and gang members who murdered, raped, assaulted or extorted American citizens. But for those who just crossed our borders looking to create a new life, they also, just by crossing, committed a crime.
In the U.S., under federal law (8 U.S.C. § 1325), improper entry (e.g., crossing without inspection) is typically a misdemeanor for first offenses, punishable by up to 6 months in prison and fines, escalating to a felony for repeats or with aggravating factors. This aligns with international norms.
It is easy to see that Good suspended common sense and a careful perusal of the video shows that she had a foolish, childish attitude about stopping the ICE agents, like it was fun in the afternoon to get in the way of the cops all while giggling and clearly snickering like she was chasing a bunny rabbit across the lawn. This was unwise, dangerous and misdirected behavior.
On the next level, she was defying the laws of Minnesota and of the federal government. More than defying the laws, she raised her opinion of the law above the law itself. That is a form of the most basic kind of anarchy.
Now, the only other defiance that she showed was Biblical itself.
