Family of US woman killed by ICE agent sues Trump administration officials
The family of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026, has announced two lawsuits against the US government and members of the Trump administration. Good was shot during a traffic stop as part of Operation Metro Surge, a federal sweep targeting immigrants and criminals. One lawsuit, filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act, accuses the government of battery, assault, false imprisonment, and negligence causing her death. The second targets ICE officer Jonathan Ross, who shot Good, along with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and border chief Tom Homan, alleging conspiracy to interfere with civil rights. Family lawyer Antonio Romanucci stated the operation created 'an unprecedented environment for state-sponsored violence.' Immigration authorities claimed Good made 'an attempt to kill or cause bodily harm to agents' in 'an act of domestic terrorism,' but family members and witnesses disputed this. Good's mother, Donna Ganger, a registered Republican who voted for Trump, testified to Congress demanding accountability. The White House and DHS have not commented. The killing sparked nationwide protests, which intensified after another Minneapolis resident, Alex Pretti, was killed by ICE agents weeks later, leading to the withdrawal of hundreds of federal agents from the city.
