Renee Good's Family Sues US, Top Immigration Officials

Renee Good's family sued the US government and several immigration officials Thursday, alleging wrongful death and other violations of federal law in the 37-year-old woman's killing by an immigration officer during a federal crackdown in Minneapolis. The two lawsuits were filed by Good's partner, Becca Good, and Renee Good's brother, Brent Ganger, reports the AP. One lawsuit, filed against "the United States of America," alleges the wrongful death of Renee Good under Minnesota law predicated on claims of battery, assault, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence that caused her death.

The other lawsuit alleges a conspiracy to interfere with civil rights. It names as defendants: Jonathan Ross, the immigration officer who shot her; White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller; former Homeland Security head Kristi Noem; former US Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino; Corey Lewandowski, President Trump's campaign manager; and others. Renee Good, a mother of three, was fatally shot in her vehicle on Jan. 7 as protests against immigration raids flared across the city.
