The Good Family Takes Its Fight to the Courts
In January, 37-year-old Renee Good was shot dead by an ICE agent in Minneapolis during a high-profile immigration raid.
The footage of the killing quickly went viral, prompting protests across the city and raising questions about the methods used by federal agents.
Brent Ganger, Good’s brother, and Becca Good, her partner, have now filed two separate civil lawsuits.
The first case names the US government, alleging battery, false imprisonment, and negligent conduct under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
The second lawsuit goes a step further, accusing ICE officer Jonathan Ross, White House aide Stephen Miller, former Home-Secretary Kristi Noem, and other officials of a conspiracy to violate civil rights.
The family describes the incident as an unprecedented environment for state-sponsored violence that has left them traumatized.
A spokesperson for the White House called the claims baseless, while former President Trump offered conflicting statements about Good’s actions.
Good’s mother has appeared in congressional hearings, expressing both her faith and her demand for accountability.
As of now, the lawsuits have not yet been resolved, but the case highlights growing tension over immigration enforcement and citizens’ rights.
