The family of Renee Good, a woman killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis in January, filed two federal lawsuits on Thursday. The lawsuits target the agent who shot her, Jonathan Ross, and several former top officials in the Trump administration.
Good's partner, Becca Good, and her brother, Brent Ganger, allege wrongful death and other violations of federal law, according to a press release from their lawyers. One lawsuit seeks damages for the suffering Good endured and the losses her family has experienced. The complaint states that Becca Good witnessed her partner's death.
The other lawsuit alleges a conspiracy to interfere with civil rights by senior federal officials and immigration enforcement agents. It names Ross, former homeland security secretary Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, and former US border patrol officer Gregory Bovino, among others, for their roles in Good's death.
Renee Good, a 37-year-old US citizen and mother of three, was shot and killed in her car on 7 January while protesting the deployment of ICE agents. Video clips reportedly show Good steering her vehicle away from the agent when she was shot. Her death, alongside that of Alex Pretti, sparked widespread outrage.
