Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits against the Trump administration over her death by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. The 37-year-old mother was shot during a federal immigration crackdown in January. The lawsuits allege government negligence and conspiracy to violate civil rights.
The family, led by Good's brother Brent Ganger and partner Becca Good, accused senior federal officials, including ICE officer Jonathan Ross and White House figures, of contributing to her death. They cited the Federal Tort Claims Act, which allows suing the government for negligence causing death or injury.
The White House denied the lawsuits as 'baseless' and called for 'equal coverage' of American deaths at the hands of illegal immigrants. The administration has not yet commented on the legal claims or the impact on federal operations in Minneapolis.
The family's lawyer claimed the government's actions created an 'unprecedented environment for state-sponsored violence,' while the White House insisted the deaths of Americans by illegal immigrants should receive 'equal media coverage'.
