The federal government's claims of immunity for the ICE officer — identified as Iraq War veteran Jonathan Ross — go against precedent, as does its refusal to cooperate with state authorities, says Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is demanding a local and state-led investigation into Good's homicide and an end to the Trump administration's "smear tactics" against Good. "This is Third Reich stuff," adds Ellison, decrying the escalation in aggressive tactics employed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis and throughout the country. "This is an unprecedented attack on American institutions." Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.

JD Vance claimed that Ms. Good was "interfering with enforcement of federal immigration law", however, Jonathan Ross was not (at the time) engaged in enforcement of federal immigration law, as there were no immigrants on that street, including Ms. Good who is not an immigrant. The federal agents were obstructing traffic and surrounding the car of a U.S. citizen, which is not enforcement of federal immigration law. Vance is a pure liar. Furthermore, bodycam footage was just released from one of the officers, and it shows Renee's face is calm and smiling, and her last two sentences were "I'm not mad at you. I'm not mad at you." The officer then shot her in the face, and the officer screamed "F*ck*ing B*tch!". He did not shoot out of fear; he shot out of anger and aimed to kill. Nothing Ms. Good did at that time warranted the death penalty of a U.S. citizen without a trial.

The PIG didn’t even bother to check the victim of his crime. He asked bystanders to call 911 instead of him doing so. And then FLED the scene like the coward he is!
