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

Why it matters locally: While the immediate events occurred outside New Jersey, this lawsuit involves federal agencies and raises questions about the use of force by federal officers, which could have implications for federal law enforcement operations nationwide, including within New Jersey.

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.
