Quick Summary#

A now-deleted online fundraiser soliciting donations for an ICE agent involved in the killing of Renee Good targeted Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey with antisemitic language. The post referred to the mayor as a 'Jewish traitor.'

The fundraising page was reportedly launched by a social media user with a history of antisemitic behavior. The incident highlights the intersection of immigration enforcement, local politics, and online hate speech. The page was eventually removed from the platform.

The event connects several key entities including Mayor Frey, the deceased Renee Good, the federal agency ICE, and the social media user responsible for the post.

The Online Attack#

An online fundraising campaign specifically targeted Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey using derogatory and antisemitic language. The campaign page solicited donations for the ICE agent responsible for the killing of Renee Good. The post explicitly labeled Mayor Frey a 'Jewish traitor,' utilizing hate speech to attack the public official.

The attack appeared on a platform designed to solicit financial support for the federal agent. By targeting a sitting mayor with such specific rhetoric, the fundraiser moved beyond standard political discourse into explicit harassment. The use of the term 'traitor' combined with a reference to the mayor's religious background constituted the core of the attack.

— Online Fundraiser Post

Origin and Removal 🚫#

The fundraising page was reportedly launched by a social media user with a documented history of antisemitic rhetoric. This background suggests a pattern of behavior rather than an isolated incident of hate speech. The user utilized the platform to amplify their views while attempting to raise funds for the federal agent.

Following the publication of the attack, the fundraising page was eventually deleted. The removal of the content suggests intervention by the platform or the user, though the specific timeline of the deletion was not detailed. The removal effectively ended the public visibility of the specific 'Jewish traitor' post.

Context of the Incident#

The fundraiser was established to support the ICE agent who killed Renee Good. This context places the attack on Mayor Frey within a broader narrative involving federal immigration enforcement and a specific fatal encounter. The financial solicitation was the primary purpose of the page, with the attack on the mayor serving as accompanying content.

The connection between the federal agent's actions and the local Minneapolis mayor suggests political friction regarding immigration policies. By targeting Mayor Frey, the creator of the fundraiser linked the specific shooting incident to the mayor's political stance or jurisdiction. The incident underscores how online platforms can be used to target public officials with hate speech related to federal policies.

Implications and Reaction#

The incident demonstrates the volatility of online political discourse, particularly concerning immigration enforcement. The use of terms like 'Jewish traitor' indicates a willingness to use identity-based attacks in political disagreements. The targeting of a mayor by a supporter of a federal agent highlights deep divisions.

While the specific post was removed, the event raises questions about moderation on fundraising platforms. The ability of a user with a history of hate speech to launch such a campaign points to potential gaps in content oversight. The incident serves as a case study in the intersection of online fundraising, federal law enforcement, and local political targeting.

Golpe do IPVA: RS alerta para golpes no pagamento do imposto de 2026; saiba como evitar

Alerta para golpes com boletos do IPVA 2026 Criminosos têm se aproveitado do período de pagamento do IPVA 2026 para aplicar golpes no Rio Grande do Sul. Segundo a Secretaria da Fazenda (Sefaz), contribuintes já relataram prejuízos após realizarem pagamentos em sites falsos ou por meio de links enganosos que simulam canais oficiais do governo. As fraudes ocorrem, principalmente, por meio de páginas que imitam o visual de sites públicos e aparecem entre os primeiros resultados de buscas na internet. Em outros casos, os links falsos são enviados por aplicativos de mensagens. Em comum, todos direcionam o pagamento para contas que não pertencem ao Estado. 📲 Acesse o canal do g1 RS no WhatsApp De acordo com o governo estadual, o IPVA não é cobrado por mensagens, e-mails ou links enviados diretamente ao contribuinte. O pagamento deve ser feito apenas por canais oficiais. Um dos principais cuidados é conferir, antes de concluir a transação via Pix, se o destinatário corresponde à Secretaria da Fazenda do Rio Grande do Sul. Os dados corretos do pagamento são: Nome: IPVA Sefaz/RS CNPJ: 87.958.674/0001-81 Banco: Banco do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (Banrisul) Se qualquer uma dessas informações estiver diferente, a orientação é não finalizar o pagamento. A Polícia Civil também acompanha o aumento desse tipo de golpe. O diretor do Departamento de Crimes Cibernéticos, delegado Eibert Moreira Neto, afirma que o registro formal da ocorrência é fundamental para identificar os responsáveis. Segundo ele, mesmo quando o valor não é recuperado, o boletim ajuda a polícia a mapear os criminosos e a derrubar os sites usados nas fraudes. O governo do Estado informa que atua para retirar do ar páginas falsas, mas alerta que a principal forma de prevenção ainda é a atenção do contribuinte na hora do pagamento.
