"United States Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has said that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will not be investigating the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who killed Renee Nicole Macklin Good, while also confirming reports that it is looking into charges against top Minnesota officials for encouraging protests. Speaking to Fox News on Sunday night, Blanche said the civil rights unit of the Justice Department would not bow to pressure to investigate the shooting death of Minneapolis resident and mother Good, 37, earlier this month. Blanche also said that footage of Good's death has already been reviewed by millions and millions of Americans because it was recorded on phones when it happened."
"However, analysis conducted by Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) and APM Reports found that there still remain questions about the shooting, including why it allegedly took more than 10 minutes after Good was shot before she was given CPR. According to the MPR and APM reports, ICE agents left Good bleeding and alone in the car for almost three minutes and turned away a man identifying himself as a physician who offered to help."
