Court orders full federal records released in Renee Good shooting case

A Minnesota judge has ordered several federal agencies to provide unredacted evidence related to the January shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent, including training files, use-of-force policies, statements by the agent, witness and office statements, medical and mental health records, cell phone data, and body-camera/video footage from before and after the incident. The agencies — the US Attorney’s Office, DOJ, DHS, ICE, and ERO — must turn over these materials by May 1, with the judge later determining how disclosures should be made to Muñoz-Guatemala, the undocumented immigrant who attacked the agent during a separate arrest and was convicted in 2025.

Michigan judge among four indicted in ward-fund embezzlement scheme

A sitting Michigan judge, Andrea Bradley-Baskin of the 36th District Court, and three Detroit-area residents were indicted on conspiracy to commit wire fraud and related charges for allegedly siphoning hundreds of thousands from wards’ estates through Guardian and Associates and related entities. Alleged schemes included using about $70,000 to buy a stake in a bar, diverting roughly $203,000 from a ward’s settlement, and a two-year lease on a Ford Expedition for the judge, with money laundering counts and a false-statement charge also tied to Bradley-Baskin. FBI and U.S. Attorney officials described the case as fiduciary abuse of vulnerable individuals in probate matters.
