Renee Good's family
VS
Trump administration
Renee Good was a 37-year-old US citizen and mother of three who was fatally shot by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis in January 2025.
Her family, including her partner Becca Good and her brother Brent Ganger, has filed federal civil lawsuits against the US government, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and several immigration officials.
The Trump administration is the defendant in these suits, which are being brought on behalf of Good's surviving family members.
The family's lawsuits allege wrongful death, excessive force, negligence, and civil rights violations, and further claim a conspiracy by the government and its agents.
The family contends that the shooting was not an accident and that the administration bears responsibility for the fatal use of force.
The Trump administration, through its Justice Department, is tasked with defending the federal government and its immigration enforcement officers against these claims.
The death of Renee Good sparked protests and public scrutiny of federal immigration enforcement practices in Minneapolis.
The lawsuits seek to establish legal accountability for the shooting and to obtain damages for the family, while the government's defense will likely hinge on the legal standards governing federal officers' use of force and qualified immunity.
