Renee Good's Family Sues US, Trump Officials Over 2 Lawsuits in ICE Killing

3 articles · Updated · BBC.com · Oct 1

Two lawsuits announced Thursday accuse the US government, ICE agent Jonathan Ross and senior Trump officials of responsibility for Renee Good's January 7 shooting death in Minneapolis.
The family's lawyers say Operation Metro Surge created an "unprecedented environment for state-sponsored violence"; one suit invokes the Federal Tort Claims Act, while the other alleges a civil-rights conspiracy involving Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem and Tom Homan.
Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was killed during a traffic stop after authorities said she tried to harm agents in an act of "domestic terrorism"; relatives and witnesses dispute that account and say she was shot inside her car.
Her death helped trigger nationwide protests that intensified after Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti was also killed by immigration agents on January 24, prompting the withdrawal of hundreds of federal agents from the city.
At a congressional hearing on Tuesday, Good's mother Donna Ganger said she voted for Trump but now wants accountability, underscoring the broader political fallout from the Minneapolis crackdown.
