DOJ Won’t Open Probe Into Renee Good Shooting, Citing Self-Defense and Floyd Contrast
TL;DR
The U.S. Department of Justice says it will not investigate the January 7 fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, arguing that video evidence shows self-defense and that the department does not launch federal probes into every officer-involved shooting. The response is framed against the department’s 2020 Floyd murder inquiry and broader debates over federal policing actions in Minnesota, with critics noting past investigations under different administrations and ongoing pressure from political figures and protesters.
