J. D. Vance falsely claimed on Jan 8 that Renee Good obstructed the ICE operation, but the ICE vehicles weren't there when she arrived, only arriving later to box her in, one to her left, and Ross to her right

Ross left the door to his vehicle, to the right of Good, wide open when he exited to start taking video around her vehicle. 

When Good decided to flee, she had to avoid that open door, which meant aiming straight ahead before her hard turn to the right. It's why she had to back up first.

The ICE vehicles used a blocking tactic to obstruct Renee Good's vehicle. She partially obstructed traffic when she arrived, but the video shows vehicles were able to get around her on either side, which is how Ross got his vehicle around her in the first place.

ICE could have simply left the scene, leaving her sitting in the middle of the road. 

ICE did not arrive to diffuse this situation, but to escalate it.

It was premeditated.
