Today is Day 11, and we’re stepping into the courtroom, into the Constitution, and into the mind of one of the most powerful legal architects this country has ever known: <strong data-start="1112" data-end="1133">Thurgood Marshall</strong>.</p><p data-start="1136" data-end="1396">Before he ever wore a <a href="https://www.urbancitypodcast.com/the-supreme-court-cases-that-changed-american-history/">Supreme Court</a> robe, before his name was carved into the halls of justice, Thurgood Marshall was just a Black man from Baltimore with a brilliant mind and a deep understanding that laws can either protect people or be used to crush them.</p><p data-start="1398" data-end="1672">He saw injustice early. Segregation wasn’t theoretical to him. It was everyday reality. Separate schools. Separate buses. Separate opportunities. And he made a decision that would ripple across American history: he would use the law to tear segregation apart piece by piece.</p><p data-start="1674" data-end="1977">After graduating from Howard University School of Law, Marshall became the lead attorney for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. That meant one thing he took on the hardest cases in the most hostile places, often risking his life just to argue that Black Americans deserved the same rights as everyone else.</p><p data-start="1979" data-end="2251">He traveled across the Jim Crow South, walking into courtrooms where white judges and all-white juries already had their minds made up. He faced death threats, police harassment, and constant danger all for the simple idea that the Constitution should apply to everyone.</p><p data-start="2253" data-end="2300">And then came the case that changed everything.</p><p data-start="2302" data-end="2334"><strong data-start="2302" data-end="2334">Brown v. Board of Education.</strong></p><p data-start="2336" data-end="2571">In 1954, Marshall stood before the Supreme Court and argued that segregated <a href="https://www.urbancitypodcast.com/native-american-voices-stories-schools-wont-teach-you/">schools</a> were unconstitutional. That “separate but equal” was a lie. That segregation didn’t just divide students it told Black children they were worth less.</p><p data-start="2573" data-end="2590">The Court agreed.</p><p data-start="2592" data-end="2755">With one decision, Marshall cracked the foundation of legal segregation in America. Schools. Housing. Public spaces. The ripple effects changed the entire country.</p><p data-start="2757" data-end="2782">But he didn’t stop there.</p><p data-start="2784" data-end="3001">Marshall argued and won dozens of civil rights cases. <a href="https://www.urbancitypodcast.com/voting-rights-alert-state-laws-mean-for-our-community/">Voting rights</a>. Housing equality. Fair trials. His legal record is so strong that to this day, he is considered one of the greatest lawyers in American history.</p><p data-start="3003" data-end="3149">Then in 1967, President Lyndon Johnson appointed him to the <strong data-start="3063" data-end="3094">United States Supreme Court</strong>, making him the <strong data-start="3111" data-end="3148">first Black justice ever to serve</strong>.</p><p data-start="3151" data-end="3208">And let me tell you something:<br data-start="3181" data-end="3184" />He didn’t go in quietly.</p><p data-start="3210" data-end="3450">On the bench, Marshall became the conscience of the Court. He defended civil liberties, challenged racial bias, and reminded his colleagues that the Constitution wasn’t written just for the powerful it was meant to protect the vulnerable.</p><p data-start="3452" data-end="3604">He wrote opinions that still shape the law today. He argued that equality wasn’t optional. That justice wasn’t flexible. That rights weren’t negotiable.</p><p data-start="3606" data-end="3661">And through it all, he never forgot where he came from.</p><p data-start="3663" data-end="3869">He once said, “None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody a parent, a teacher, an NAACP lawyer bent down and helped us pick up our boots.”</p><p data-start="3871" data-end="3961">That humility. That honesty. That understanding of community that’s what made him great.</p><p data-start="3963" data-end="4089">Thurgood Marshall didn’t just change laws.<br data-start="4005" data-end="4008" />He changed expectations.<br data-start="4032" data-end="4035" />He changed what Black Americans believed was possible.</p><p data-start="4091" data-end="4230">Today, every civil rights case, every challenge to discrimination, every fight for equal protection under the law carries his fingerprints.</p><p data-start="4232" data-end="4372">So on Day 11 of <em data-start="4248" data-end="4275">Urban City’s Black Agenda</em>, we honor <strong data-start="4286" data-end="4372">Thurgood Marshall the Unstoppable Justice who made equality the law of the land.</strong></p><p data-start="4374" data-end="4589">I’m <strong data-start="4378" data-end="4396">Thaddeus Myles</strong>, and as always, keep it locked to <strong data-start="4431" data-end="4455">urbancitypodcast.com</strong> and the Urban City Podcast app all month long for Urban City Podcast’s Black Agenda powered by <strong data-start="4553" data-end="4588">4AM Roastery at 4amroastery.com</strong>.</p>								</div>

									<p> </p><h2 data-start="225" data-end="398">How the killing of Renee Good forced America to confront federal force, immigrant fear, and what happens when government power collides with everyday people on city streets.</h2><p>Good evening. This is <a href="https://www.urbancitypodcast.com/episode/big-back-politics-live-democracy-power-and-the-damn-truth-with-denise-milsap/">Big Back Politics</a> Live and I am Denise Milsap on urbancitypodcast.com and trhe Urban City Podcast App! . And tonight I am not here to soothe you! I am here to wake you the hell up.</p><p>Because if a woman can be shot in the face by a federal agent on a city street and the government can shrug and say “justified,” then this country is in some deep, dangerous shit.</p><p>Her name was Renee Good.<br />Thirty-seven years old.<br />A U.S. citizen.<br />Shot dead by an <a href="https://www.urbancitypodcast.com/ice-raids-in-black-communities-jane-eugene-of-rb-group-loose-ends-being-detained-by-ice/">ICE</a> agent in Minneapolis.</p><p>And the federal government wants you to believe she was a terrorist.</p><p>Let that poison sit in your mouth for a second.<br />A woman sitting in her car was labeled a terrorist after she was killed so the people who killed her could sleep better at night.</p><p>That is not law enforcement.<br />That is propaganda.</p><p>Now let me say something real slow for the folks who still believe every damn government press release.<br />When a government starts calling unarmed civilians terrorists, it is not trying to tell the truth.<br />It is trying to control the narrative.</p><p>This happened in Minneapolis, <a href="https://www.urbancitypodcast.com/eight-charged-in-8-4-million-medicaid-fraud-scheme-linked-to-minnesota-housing-program/">Minnesota</a>.<br />Not a border crossing.<br />Not a cartel hideout.<br />Not some battlefield.<br />An American city. With families, with kids, with people walking dogs and going to work.</p><p>Federal immigration agents rolled into that city in massive numbers, no coordination, no respect for local leadership, no concern for the people who actually live there. They came in like they owned the place.</p><p>And that arrogance got somebody killed.</p><p>Renee Good was in her vehicle. Agents surrounded her. One of them opened her door. Multiple armed people were standing around her. Anybody with a heartbeat would be scared in that moment. And when her car moved, instead of backing off, instead of stepping away, instead of trying to de-escalate, an ICE agent pulled his gun and fired.</p><p>They didn’t shoot the tire.<br />They didn’t shoot the engine.<br />They didn’t shoot a window.</p><p>They shot her in the face.</p><p>You don’t do that by accident.<br />You do that when you have decided that the person in front of you is disposable.</p><p>And then the government had the nerve to smear her after she was dead. To call her dangerous. To call her a threat. To call her a terrorist.</p><p>Well you know what I say? Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice EVERYWHERE!<br />How could this happen in a place thats supposed to be the greatest country on this planet? HOW??</p><p>Is that is how this system works?<br />First they kill you.<br />Then they assassinate your character.<br />Then they dare your family and your community to prove you deserved to live.</p><p>But here is the problem for them.</p><p>We saw the video.</p><p>We saw how the car was moving.<br />We saw where the agent was standing.<br />We saw that this was not some Hollywood action scene where a car was barreling down on a line of officers.</p><p>This was a woman boxed in by armed federal agents trying to get out of a terrifying situation.</p><p>And for that, she died.</p><p>Now ICE says the agent feared for his life.<br />They always say that SHIT!<br />Hell they said it when cops killed George Floyd!<br />They said it when cops killed Breonna Taylor!<br />They say it EVERY SINGLE time a badge turns a human being into a body on the pavement!</p><p>Fear is the universal excuse for killing people in this country.</p><p>But fear does not erase responsibility.<br />Fear does not justify execution.<br />Fear does not give you the right to end a life because someone made a move you didn’t like.</p><p>Minneapolis leaders didn’t buy the story.<br />The mayor didn’t buy the story.<br />The governor didn’t buy the story.<br />The people who live there damn sure didn’t buy the story.</p><p>They called bullshit.<br />And they were right.</p><p>Because this shooting was not an isolated incident. It was the predictable result of a federal government that has decided it can deploy armed agents into American cities like it’s conducting military operations.</p><p>Thousands of ICE agents poured into Minneapolis.<br />Neighborhoods were flooded with unmarked vehicles and armed personnel.<br />People were afraid to leave their homes.<br />Families were on edge.</p><p>And when you mix fear, guns, and unchecked power, somebody gets hurt.</p><p>This time it was Renee Good.</p><p>And let me make this plain for anybody listening.</p><p>She was not undocumented.<br />She was not being arrested.<br />She was not wanted.<br />She was not accused of anything.</p><p>She was there.</p><p>That was her crime.</p><p>Being present.<br />Being a witness.<br />Being a citizen in a place where the federal government decided to flex its muscle.</p><p>If that does not scare you, you are not paying attention.</p><p>Because if a U.S. citizen can be killed by a federal agent for being near an ICE operation, then the line between “target” and “bystander” has disappeared.</p><p>That means you.<br />That means me.<br />That means anybody who happens to be in the wrong place when power decides it is feeling jumpy.</p><p>This is not just about <a href="https://www.urbancitypodcast.com/immigration-urban-housing-policy-affects-community-roots/">immigration</a>.<br />This is about federal power.</p><p>This is about what happens when agencies that were created to handle paperwork and enforcement suddenly behave like armed occupiers in American neighborhoods.</p><p>ICE was never designed to be a community-policing organization.<br />They were designed to detain and deport.</p><p>So when you give them guns, authority, and zero accountability inside cities, you get tragedies.</p><p>And then you get lies.</p><p>Because the government knows that if people saw this for what it was, there would be hell to pay.</p><p>So they say terrorist.<br />They say threat.<br />They say danger.</p><p>And they hope you stop asking questions.</p><p>Well Big Back Politics Live is not stopping.</p><p>Because Renee Good cannot speak anymore.<br />So we will speak for her.</p><p>Because her family deserves the truth.<br />Her community deserves the truth.<br />And this country deserves to know what is being done in its name.</p><p>Minneapolis has already carried the weight of law enforcement violence. That city knows what it feels like when a life is taken and excuses come after. Now federal agents have written their own ugly chapter in that history.</p><p>And if they get away with it, they will do it again.</p><p>Because power without accountability always does.</p><p>So here is what I am telling you to do.</p><p>Do not let this fade.<br />Do not let them bury this.<br />Do not let them rewrite this.</p><p>Call your representatives.<br />Demand hearings.<br />Demand independent investigations.<br />Demand body camera footage.<br />Demand names.<br />Demand consequences.</p><p>Because if a federal agent can shoot a citizen in the face and walk away, then none of us are as free as we think we are.</p><p>This is Denise Milsap on urbancitypodcast.com and the Urban City Podcast App.<br />This is Big Back Politics Live! Stay locked in!</p><p>And we are NOT letting this go!!! Yall stay blessed&#8230;</p>								</div>

Trump described the move as a “replica of our extraordinarily successful efforts” in Washington, D.C., where the administration deployed Guard units and federalized the city’s police force in a June crackdown.</p><p data-start="864" data-end="1021">“Crime dropped, safety increased, and the people of Washington felt protected,” Trump said. “We are now bringing that same level of commitment to Memphis.”</p><p data-start="1023" data-end="1421">The deployment raises fresh questions about the extent of presidential power in directing the <a href="https://www.urbancitypodcast.com/jon-meacham-warns-america-is-on-edge-after-charlie-kirks-assassination-highlighting-rising-political-violence-and-the-urgent-fight-to-protect-democracy/">National Guard</a> and using federal troops in domestic law enforcement. Under most circumstances, Guard units remain under state control unless federalized. Civil liberties advocates warn that using military forces for local crime control risks escalating tensions rather than solving underlying problems.</p><p data-start="1423" data-end="1630">Governor Lee welcomed the president’s order, calling it “a strong step in securing Memphis neighborhoods and protecting Tennessee families.” City officials in Memphis have not yet issued a formal response.</p><p data-start="1632" data-end="1829">The move comes as Trump continues to emphasize a tough-on-crime message ahead of the 2025 political season, with critics arguing that his approach prioritizes federal power over local governance.</p>								</div>
