Renee Good’s family sues feds over her killing

Renee Good's family filed two federal lawsuits Thursday, nine months after she was shot and killed by immigration agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis. One suit pursues wrongful death and battery claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act; the other alleges civil rights conspiracy and excessive force against Ross and officials including Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and Tom Homan. The family says Good, 37, had just dropped her son at school and was driving away from agents, not toward them, when Ross fired three rounds through her window.

The complaints state Good was not the target of any investigation and was breaking no law, and that Ross was never at risk from the vehicle. They allege the Justice Department blocked state investigators from the scene and declined its own internal inquiry, while federal officials, including the president, publicly described Good as a 'professional agitator.' The family ties the shooting to Operation Metro Surge, the enforcement operation that deployed roughly 3,000 federal agents to the Twin Cities and preceded protests and another fatal shooting of a bystander weeks later.
