Donna Ganger, the mother of Renée Good, has provided testimony regarding the January 7, 2026, fatal shooting of her daughter by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis. During a Capitol Hill forum hosted by Senator Richard Blumenthal and Representative Robert Garcia, Ganger, a registered Republican, described the actions of ICE as “madness.” She stated that she had supported the administration under the belief that agents were meant to protect citizens from terrorists rather than “take precious lives.” In subsequent testimony before a Senate committee, Ganger called for legislative action and accountability, asserting that “thoughts and prayers are not enough.” The incident has been marked by conflicting narratives; while then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Vice President J.D.
