The family of Renee Good files lawsuits over her death during Minneapolis ICE raids

The family of Renee Good has filed civil lawsuits against the federal government and officials over her fatal shooting by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis last January. According to KahawaTungu, two lawsuits have been filed in Minnesota federal court. One lawsuit names the United States of America as the sole defendant under the Federal Tort Claims Act, while the second lawsuit alleges a conspiracy to interfere with civil rights.

The lawsuits claim recklessness and civil rights violations by Trump officials, with defendants including ICE agent Jonathan Ross, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and other Trump administration figures. The family’s lawyers say US officials created an "unprecedented environment for state-sponsored violence" in Minneapolis, as reported by BBC News.

Renee Good was killed on January 7 during the Department of Homeland Security’s Operation Metro Surge, which sparked significant protest in the city and national outrage. Her family is speaking out for the first time about the incident, which set off a firestorm of protests around the US, according to NPR.
