Renee Good's family files federal lawsuits over ICE shooting

Renee Good ICE civil rights lawsuit Operation Metro Surge Minneapolis shooting

The family of Renee Good has filed two federal civil rights lawsuits against the U.S. government and several high-ranking officials following her fatal shooting by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis in January 2026.

The shooting occurred during ‘Operation Metro Surge,’ a federal immigration enforcement operation. The lawsuits name ICE Agent Jonathan Ross, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and other officials as defendants. The plaintiffs allege a conspiracy to interfere with civil rights and claim the shooting was a predictable result of aggressive enforcement policies.

Video evidence from the scene shows Good in her vehicle, appearing to drive away from the agent when the shots were fired. A private autopsy reported that the bullet struck Good in the left temple at a 90-degree angle. The family, including Good’s partner Becca Good and brother Brent Ganger, is seeking damages for wrongful death and emotional distress. A White House spokesperson stated the administration will ‘vigorously defend’ against the lawsuits.
