Investigators Probe Victim’s History
Federal agents are now investigating Renee Good’s ties to activist groups following her fatal shooting by an ICE agent.
No Charges Expected
ICE agent Jonathan Ross is unlikely to face criminal charges for the shooting. The FBI took over the probe from local police in Minneapolis. They are currently analyzing his handgun and the physical evidence. However, the Department of Justice has not opened a civil rights probe. They believe activists may have instigated the violent clash.
Activism Under Scrutiny
Renee Good was a 37-year-old mother of three. Friends claim she belonged to a local “ICE Watch” group. Witnesses say she was acting as a legal observer that day. Her wife, Rebecca, admitted she encouraged Good to confront the agents. “I made her come down here, it’s my fault,” she cried.
The Fatal Incident
Surveillance shows Good’s SUV blocking a road for four minutes. Ross approached the vehicle and allegedly demanded she open the door. The car pulled forward, and Ross fired three shots in response. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the act domestic terrorism. President Trump also labeled Good a “professional agitator” acting with violence.
New Legal Definitions
Attorney General Pam Bondi recently expanded the definition of domestic terrorism. It now includes impeding officers or opposing immigration enforcement. Meanwhile, Minnesota officials are suing the Trump administration to stop raids. They claim the federal surge in the state is unconstitutional.
