Family of Renee Good Files Wrongful Death Lawsuits Against U.S. Government, ICE Officer

Why it matters locally: As the seat of the federal government, the District of Columbia is home to numerous federal agencies, including ICE. Lawsuits against federal entities and officials, particularly those alleging excessive force, often generate significant attention among the District's large federal workforce and legal community.

MINNEAPOLIS — The family of Renee Good initiated two federal civil lawsuits, alleging wrongful death and excessive force. Their attorney announced the filings nine months after an immigration officer fatally shot Good in Minneapolis. NBC News correspondent Shaquille Brewster provided details regarding both civil suits. The legal actions name the U.S. government, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, and officials from the Trump administration as defendants.
