"The story unfolded early yesterday morning as ICE was apparently conducting some kind of action not far from Good's home. Her car was in the road, obstructing it somewhat, while community members and ICE agents shouted back and forth. In a video, an ICE officer can be seen exiting a vehicle and attempting to open Good's car door. She briefly backs up, and then attempts to drive away."
"The Trump administration has committed many murders, and they haven't been held accountable for any of them, but this time should be different. That's because this murder took place in Minnesota, and there are state laws that prevent the murder of nonviolent people. These laws should operate even when the murderer is a federal agent. Federal agents do not have immunity from state murder charges-when they commit murder."
Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot and killed by an ICE agent after a brief roadside encounter near her home. Community members and ICE agents exchanged words while her car partially obstructed the road. Video shows an ICE officer approaching her vehicle, Good backing up, then attempting to drive away before an agent fired multiple point-blank shots into the car. DHS claimed she attempted to "weaponize her vehicle" and called her involved in domestic terrorism, while local officials and video evidence dispute that characterization. Minnesota state law may permit prosecutors to bring murder charges against federal agents involved.
