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.

Ex-wrestler Ted DiBiase Jr. Cleared on All Counts in Mississippi Welfare Case

Former WWE star Ted “Teddy” DiBiase Jr. was found not guilty on all counts (conspiracy, wire fraud, theft and money laundering) in the Mississippi welfare scandal, after jurors deliberated about four hours. Prosecutors had alleged he helped divert nearly $3 million in federal funds intended to aid poor residents to luxury purchases, as part of the Families First for Mississippi initiative; his defense said he never solicited funds and was a beneficiary of a broader scheme. He was one of eight charged, with seven co-defendants having pleaded guilty, and a parallel civil suit to recover funds continues.
