Renee Good's family will testify about ICE killing in Congress today
"Two brothers of Renée Nicole Macklin Good, the queer Minnesota U.S. citizen fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis in January, are testifying in Washington, D.C., today at a Capitol Hill hearing examining the use of force by federal immigration agents. Brent Ganger and Luke Ganger, Good's brothers, were added to the speaking lineup just a day before the hearing."
"Good's killing has become one of the most closely watched cases in a widening national debate over immigration enforcement and federal policing power. ICE Agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Good on January 7, as she was trying to drive away in her SUV. Top government officials, including Vice President JD Vance and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, falsely called Good a "domestic terrorist.""
"Brent Ganger and Luke Ganger, Good's brothers, were added to the speaking lineup just a day before the hearing. On Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and California U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia, both Democrats, will convene a public forum to hear testimony on what they describe as "the violent tactics and disproportionate use of force" by Department of Homeland Security agents."
Renée Nicole Macklin Good's brothers, Brent and Luke Ganger, are testifying in Washington, D.C., at a Capitol Hill hearing examining use of force by federal immigration agents. They were added to the roster a day before the forum convened by Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Rep. Robert Garcia, who say the hearing will spotlight "the violent tactics and disproportionate use of force" by Department of Homeland Security agents. Blumenthal is the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations ranking member and Garcia is the House Oversight Subcommittee ranking member. Good was shot and killed on January 7 by ICE Agent Jonathan Ross as she tried to drive away; officials labeled the action self-defense, a claim disputed by eyewitnesses, video, local officials, and Good's family, and the death sparked protests and renewed calls for oversight of federal immigration operations.
