Family of woman killed by ICE sues Trump administration | ABC NEWS
The family of Renee Good is suing the Trump administration over her fatal shooting at the hands of a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
Ms Good, 37, was shot dead in her car by an ICE agent on January 7, when she and her wife joined one of the city’s daily protests against masked and armed federal agents deployed to Minnesota to arrest migrants for deportation.
She was one of two people shot dead during a mass immigration sweep in the US city of Minneapolis, that intensified opposition to Donald Trump’s migration policies.
“I’m here today because last January the whole world had to watch as our entire universe was destroyed,” Ms Good’s partner Becca Good told a press conference.
“Our government has become a grave and mortal threat to its own citizens,” the family’s lawyer, Antonio Romanucci said.
This is among the first major civil actions taken against Mr Trump’s government for his unprecedented deportation sweeps in Minneapolis earlier this year.
Senior Trump administration officials initially branded Ms Good a “domestic terrorist” and the US Department of Justice stopped its federal prosecutors in Minneapolis from investigating the agents involved in her killing, prompting at least half a dozen of those prosecutors to resign in protest.
None of the agents involved has yet faced any charges.
