Family of Renee Good Sues U.S. Government Over Fatal Shooting
Becca Good filed lawsuits against the U.S. government and immigration officials following the fatal shooting of Renee Good during deportation sweeps in Minneapolis.
The partner of Renee Good filed two lawsuits on October 1 against the U.S. government and several immigration officials following a fatal shooting in Minneapolis. Becca Good is seeking damages for wrongful death and emotional distress after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross shot the 37-year-old mother of three three times on January 7.
The shooting occurred during Operation Metro Surge, a series of deportation sweeps. Video evidence indicates that Renee Good attempted to drive away from officers before Ross fired into her vehicle. While federal officials initially described the incident as an act of domestic terrorism and claimed the agent acted in self-defense, the lawsuits allege a conspiracy to violate the civil rights of Somali and Hispanic communities.
The legal actions name high-ranking officials as defendants, including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and former Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem. This incident is one of at least 10 deaths involving immigration officers during the second term of President Donald Trump.
