A fundraiser that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good has been caught promoting anti-Semitism.
The GiveSendGo account’s description, titled “Stand with our brave ICE heroes,” calls Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey an “anti-American traitor” and notes that he is Jewish — something CNN host Jake Tapper and others expressed mystification about.
“But this did not happen in a vacuum,” the fundraiser continued, “it was a direct result of anti-American traitors like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (who is Jewish) fanning the flames of resistance.”
Sometime Monday afternoon, the fundraiser quietly removed “(Who is the Jew)?” The rush left an extra space in its place.
The Atlantic reporter James Surowiecki denounced anti-Semitism.
“This ‘preferred method of donating’ to the ICE agent who shot Renee Good calls Jacob Frey an ‘anti-American traitor’ and, more offensively, intentionally refers to him as Jewish,” he wrote on X. “It seems like a bad sign when the people raising money for you are Nazis.”

Neither the fundraiser nor its author, Tom Hennessey, mentioned this editorial issue. X user Mike Nelson pointed out that Hennessey’s X page posted anti-Semitic posts earlier Monday.
“Notice the pattern? Jews arrive in Australia, allowing non-whites to flood into Australia. Non-whites run amok – eventually turning on Jews,” Hennessy’s account reads. “Then Jews pushed for new anti-Semitic laws, namely free speech bans, gun control to disarm white people, and bans on white nationalist groups from paying attention.”
The same page, whose bio describes him as a “white independent journalist,” also tweeted a “100” emoji in response to a post praising Adolf Hitler.
As of Monday afternoon, the ICE agents’ fundraiser had raised about $190,000, bringing the total closer to the $200,000 goal. A GoFundMe set up for Good’s family, including her 6-year-old son, has raised more than $1.5 million.
On Wednesday morning, ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who received funds from GiveSendGo, fired three shots into the windshield and side window of Good’s SUV. She was hit in the head and died on the spot.
Ross’ use of deadly force was widely condemned by officials, including Mayor Frey, but President Donald Trump, Vice President Vance, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other senior Trump officials have defended Ross’ use of deadly force as justified.
The White House claimed the 43-year-old Iraq War veteran fired in self-defense, although video from the scene showed he was able to move to the side of Goode’s car when he fired twice into the window.
