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.

Family seeks transparency after Renee Good’s death in Minneapolis ice shooting

Renee Good’s family says the Trump administration has not contacted them since she was killed by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, and they’ve hired private investigators to ensure transparency; they reject officials’ characterizations and describe Good as a gentle mother of three. They have not watched the shooting video, and a private autopsy found three gunshot wounds with other injuries noted in incident reports. A few weeks later, Alex Pretti became the second victim of a federal immigration shooting in Minneapolis, prompting more reflection on enforcement and response.

An Emptywheel post cites a NYT report alleging Kash Patel and other senior DOJ/FBI officials blocked a civil rights probe into Renee Good’s Minnesota shooting to align with Trump’s narrative, halting a planned blood-spatter test ordered by White House-linked figures; the piece also describes pressure to prosecute protesters, with many charges downgraded or reassigned to new lawyers—some JAG officers—raising accusations of political interference and potential cover-up.

Witness video upends initial claims in Alex Pretti shooting by ICE

Stella Carlson filmed the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by ICE agents and says her video contradicts the Trump administration’s early assertions that Pretti brandished a weapon and intended to attack officers. The footage shows Pretti, an ICU nurse, not brandishing a gun and attempting to help a woman as he was shot, with investigators later noting the handgun had been removed from its holster by an officer moments before the fatal shots. Carlson gave a sworn account, and the video helped fuel public backlash that contributed to personnel changes by the administration. She has yet to be contacted by federal investigators and remains hopeful that accountability will follow through community efforts and oversight.

The report also notes Rand Paul calling for the officers involved to be placed on administrative leave, criticism of Noem’s labeling of Pretti as a domestic terrorist, protests against the federal crackdown in Minnesota, and broader debate over ICE’s role in the crackdown.
