Patriots Rally Millions For Minnesota ICE Agent
Supporters have poured money into fundraisers for the ICE agent at the center of a deadly Minnesota encounter. Crowds, donors and online backers moved fast.
Police say an ICE officer fired after a woman in a vehicle moved toward him. Officials released footage and calls to the scene have intensified public debate.
Bodycam clips and bystander videos circulated quickly. That footage is a big part of why people on both sides are speaking out.
Wow. @AlphaNews got the bodycam footage of the Minnesota ICE shooting. Could not be clearer that she accelerated into the agent and that he had every reason to fear being run over and killed. Democrats look insane if they try to defend this. pic.twitter.com/0vAIqLTgZV

One GoFundMe tied to the agent surpassed $200,000 in donations and was working toward a higher target. Organizers say funds will help cover legal fees and support the officer’s family.
Those donations attracted national attention. Prominent figures and small donors alike showed up. The campaign’s momentum is notable given the larger sums raised elsewhere for the woman who died.

Reports say investor Bill Ackman donated to the officer’s fundraiser. Media posted screenshots and activity around that donation stirred commentary on both sides.

Another fundraiser on GiveSendGo also pulled in thousands. Its organizers framed the donations as support for the agent’s personal costs and family protection during what they called a difficult time.

The sums for the officer are smaller than the money raised for the woman who was killed. That separate GoFundMe reportedly topped $1.5 million before it was closed. The size of that fund sparked fresh debate about crowdfunding and public sympathy in high-profile cases.
Both sides have pushed their narratives online. Supporters of the officer say he acted in self-defense. Critics call for accountability and further investigation. The facts will matter as investigations move forward.
Renee's 'wife' screamed 'drive, baby, drive' as an ICE officer was positioned in front of her car, Renee does so and dies, and the 'wife'—who sobbed, 'it's all my fault!' at the scene—pockets $1.5 MILLION from a GoFundMe.

As protests continue and more footage circulates, the legal process and potential charges remain central. For now, money raised is being used to cover legal costs and to support the family. The story is still unfolding and will likely keep drawing attention in the coming days.
