"FBI agent Tracee Mergen resigned after Trump Justice Department and FBI leadership pressured her to drop an investigation into an ICE agent for the killing of Renee Good. It has been two weeks since a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent named Jonathan Ross shot and killed Ms. Good in Minneapolis during a hotly disputed incident that was caught on camera."
"The agent, Tracee Mergen, left her job as a supervisor in the F.B.I.'s Minneapolis field office after bureau leadership in Washington pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the immigration officer, Jonathan Ross, according to one of the people. Such inquiries are a common investigative step in similar shootings. Ms. Mergen's resignation was only the latest shock wave to have emerged from the Justice Department's handling of the shooting of Renee Good,"
Tracee Mergen, an FBI supervisor in Minneapolis, resigned after bureau leadership in Washington pressured her to discontinue a civil-rights inquiry into ICE agent Jonathan Ross following the Jan. 7 shooting death of Renee Good. Jonathan Ross shot and killed Good during a disputed, filmed incident in Minneapolis. Trump administration officials, including DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and the president, labeled Good a domestic terrorist and defended the killing. A video analysis showed no indication that Good ran over Ross. FBI agents drafted a warrant to seize Good's car to reconstruct bullet paths but were instructed to redraft it.
