Renee Good’s family brings two lawsuits over Minneapolis shooting
The family of Renee Good, a US citizen killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on 7 January, has filed two lawsuits against the Trump administration and the US government. Good's death during an immigration sweep sparked nationwide protests and raised questions about the conduct of immigration enforcement operations under Trump's second term.
One lawsuit invokes the Federal Tort Claims Act, accusing the government of battery, assault, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence. The second targets ICE officer Jonathan Ross, who shot Good, and high-ranking officials including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and White House border chief Tom Homan, alleging conspiracy to interfere with civil rights. At least 10 people have been killed in encounters with immigration officers during Trump's second term, which began in January 2025.
