Renee Good’s Family Files Two Federal Lawsuits Over Shooting

Renee Good’s family filed two federal civil lawsuits on October 1 over her fatal shooting by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis, alleging wrongful death and civil-rights violations. The cases were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota and name the United States, federal officials and agents as defendants. One lawsuit seeks to hold the United States responsible for Good’s death, alleging wrongful death and misconduct by federal agents. The second alleges that federal officials and immigration agents conspired to interfere with civil rights. It names, among others, ICE officer Jonathan Ross, former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House aide Stephen Miller. The complaints’ claims have not been established in court. Good’s family and partner brought the cases months after she was shot on January 7, 2026, during a federal immigration operation in Minneapolis. Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was in her vehicle during the encounter. The family’s complaints allege that the agents’ conduct caused her death and that Ross used wrongful or excessive force.
