She went to an openly advertised training session to learn about how to ram ICE agents with her car.
Do you have a source for this? It's the first I've heard of it.

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.
As a teacher, I've given basically the same guidelines to my students: in a writing class, use of AI-generated text is cheating comparable to plagiarism, but students are permitted (as long as they're upfront about it and get my approval first) to use AI for non-text creative projects.
In my case, it's not because I assume that 'jobs I'm unfamiliar with... can be replaced by automation.' It's because the class and the assignment is intended to teach writing skills, not art skills. It's because I am a good writer, and able to teach writing skills; it's because I am an abysmal artist, and not competent to teach art skills. As long as they're dedicating their full effort to the actual class material, I don't mind if they use shortcuts for peripheral tasks. It's not about my estimate of what AI and automation is capable of; it's about my estimation of what I am capable of, and what I expect my students to be capable of.
I didn't see anything in this article to corroborate your specific claim. Per the article:
The article does not say that Renee Good received training in 'how to ram ICE agents with her car', merely that she had received training from ICE Watch. The article does seem to imply that Good's training involved ramming, but recall how "The Media Very Rarely Lies" -- the NY Post isn't stating it as fact, but merely pushing that interpretation by how it arranges true facts, in the same way that left-leaning outfits did their best to slander Rittenhouse without directly lying about the facts of the case.
