Renee Good’s family sued Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem and Tom Homan today over her killing by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis.
The day before she died, the administration sent 2,000 immigration agents into the Twin Cities. The suit calls her death the “predictable and intended product” of that operation.
She stopped across the street to watch agents in her neighborhood after dropping her six-year-old at school. Her window was down as one of them circled her SUV, filming her on his phone. “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you,” she told him. He shot her through her windshield as she slowly pulled away.
Vice President JD Vance posted that video as proof the agent fired in self-defense. Thousands watched the same video and held vigils and protests. Federal agents shot two more people in Minneapolis over the next 17 days.
