Renee Good, a Minneapolis queer mother of three, was shot and killed by a federal immigration officer. Her brothers Luke and Brent Ganger testified at a congressional forum about ICE and CBP lethal use of force against U.S. citizens and others. Luke delivered a tear-filled account saying his sister's slaying has not prompted changes in aggressive street tactics and described surreal, damaging scenes in the community. The brothers described growing up in an "American blend" family with differing political views and urged not to let political ideals divide people. Brent read a eulogy portraying Renee as unapologetically hopeful.
