A protest group tied to Minneapolis protester Renee Good is now under a harsh spotlight after a resurfaced manual laid out detailed instructions for physically interfering with law enforcement to free arrested activists.
The Minnesota ICE Watch group, which Good belonged to, shared a “de-arrest primer” that compares each forced “de-arrest” to a “micro-intifada.”
The manual was reposted on Instagram in June by MN ICE Watch — part of a loose collective that teaches members how to disrupt officers performing their duties, including ICE agents.
Neighbors told The Post that Good regularly attended meetings with the local chapter and had received “thorough training” from the group.
The manual — which says on its cover it was published in spring 2024 — outlines four tactics for interfering with arresting officers. It describes the best grip to use when yanking someone out of police custody, and even suggests “pushing and pulling an officer” off an arrestee.
“Technically speaking for pushing off form you should have a low center of gravity and a wide base and push up explosive power with your head up at all times if possible,” the guide reads. “For breaking a grip, try striking the grip,” it adds — while acknowledging that physical contact with law enforcement “can get construed as assault in court.”
Still, the manual tries to justify the risk, arguing the decision to strike is “always contextual,” and claiming that “an arrest or even a general pacified attitude can lead to greater harm than not taking the risk and acting decisively when you see the repression take place.”
Tactic three urges readers to open unlocked doors of law enforcement vehicles to free suspects — a move it admits “could be considered a crime.”
And tactic four is pure pressure politics: “totally surrounding” officers, blocking them and their vehicles, and chanting “Let them go!” until law enforcement “cave to the mounting pressure.”
The guide claims this approach “has come out of the Palestine solidarity campus occupations.”
It ends with an illustration of protesters trying to pry an arrestee from an officer’s arms — and a caption that reads like a rallying cry: “Each de-arrest is a ‘shaking off’ which is to say each one is a micro-intifada which can spread and inspire others until we may finally shake off this noxious ruling order altogether.”
Conservative accounts shared the protester primer on social media.
Look at the training “MN Ice Watch” (which Renee Good belonged to) gives:
They train activists to assault law enforcement, to swarm, pressure, and open their car doors.
And they say each “de-arrest” is a “micro-intifada.” Do with that what you will.

Minnesota ICE Watch, the extremist open-borders group that Renee Good was associated with, posted Antifa guide instructions on committing crimes. The posts were shared on Instagram, which, in addition to BlueSky, has become the preferred place to organize violence.
