In breaking news, the family of Renee Good, the woman shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis in January as she accelerated her car at him, is filing suit against the United States government, ICE agents, and other Trump administration officials. We're surprised a lawsuit wasn't filed earlier, but the family says "the time is absolutely now for accountability."

The Associated Press reports:
Renee Good’s family sued the U.S. government and the architects of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown Thursday, saying “the time is absolutely now for accountability” for her killing in January by a federal agent in Minneapolis.
Good’s partner, Becca Good, and her brother Brent Ganger on behalf of her larger family, accused the government and Jonathan Ross, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot into her SUV and killed her, of unjustified and excessive use of force.
The Jan. 7 shooting, captured on bystander video, was “the predictable and intended product” of the Trump administration’s crackdown on Somali and other immigrants in Minnesota dubbed Operation Metro Surge, according to one of the two lawsuits.
The shooting was captured at several angles by several bystanders, as well as on ICE body cameras. So was Good's choice to step on the accelerator.
According to the family's attorney, Good and her wife, Becca, were just returning home from dropping their kids off at school when their peaceful drive was "interrupted" by armed, masked federal agents. To us, it looks like an active ICE enforcement operation was interrupted by a woman who deliberately drove her SUV into the middle of the road to "interrupt" ICE doing its job.

Reality: She stopped her SUV sideways, blocking the street for minutes, horn blaring, during a federal immigration operation. pic.twitter.com/MdR5Z6XX0u
Maybe someone should send him copies of the multiple videos of the incident.

And, she had stalked them for hours beforehand

That's interesting, because even her son's school community said that she had received "noncooperation training" from the Minneapolis "ICE Watch" activist network.
Good….we want all the evidence…her phone calls, texts, locations, affiliations, intentions, etc!! Drive baby drive!!!!

Maybe she should not have tried to kill our agents with her car.

Wrong place, wrong time, wrong perspective.

She would have been alive today.
She was just driving home when she was interrupted.
I guess they're hoping that nobody saw that video of her clearly trying to run over an ICE agent.

That smile as she’s trying to run him over isn’t gonna help

There is video evidence and hospital records that prove she hit the officer with her vehicle.

Easy loss for her family. Unfortunately for them the video evidence shows she tried to run over a federal agent with a 2-ton weapon.

Big mistake.

Discovery will be very bad for the plaintiffs.
They’re hoping to get a settlement or a rigged jury.
— Ken Jr Brauner (@KenNYbUnchained) October 1, 2026
The officer she deliberately hit with her car should sue her family
— Sande Freundlieb (@SoterMt) October 1, 2026
I actually support this just because discovery should be very enlightening.

Good luck with that. @DHSgov are you countersuing for battery on a LEO?

Please do not utilize your 5000lb vehicle to follow, impede, and confront officers of the law while they are performing very dangerous duties.

Even if @CNN says it is OK.
Does this help
Lies! The Honda Pilot weighs only around 4,500 lbs.
I mean, she hit an agent with her car. It’s on video. It’s incredibly tragic but I don’t see a case, especially since even MN didn’t file criminal charges.

We often wonder whose detention Good was trying to interfere with. ICE agents could have been moving in to arrest a murderer or a child rapist, but Good was intent on impeding the operation. Her attorney makes it sound like federal agents had blockaded her way home and waved her into the middle of an active operation.
