Just one week ago today, after harassing federal ICE agents and interfering with immigration operations in Minneapolis all day long, anti-ICE protester Renee Good was shot and killed when she drove her vehicle straight toward an ICE agent who was standing in the street.
Now, her family is posed to file a lawsuit, using an attorney who helped the family of George Floyd to rake in millions.
From the Washington Post: A week after 37-year old Renée Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer near her Minneapolis home, her partner, parents and four siblings have hired an attorney who represented the family of George Floyd to file a claim against federal officials.
“What happened to Renée is wrong, contrary to established policing practices and procedures, and should never happen in today’s America,” Chicago-based law firm Romanucci & Blandin said in a statement to The Washington Post. The statement said Good’s family wants “to honor her life with progress toward a kinder and more civil America. They do not want her used as a political pawn, but rather as an agent of peace for all.”
One of the firm’s founding partners, Antonio M. Romanucci, a civil rights lawyer, was among those who represented relatives of George Floyd after he was killed in 2020 by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. That legal team’s lawsuit against the city and the four officers involved resulted in a record $27 million settlement for Floyd’s family in 2021, the largest of its kind involving police misconduct.
Comparing the incident to the death of drug user and criminal George Floyd in May 2020, the Washington Post wrote, “Good’s shooting, on a residential street where neighbors were monitoring and protesting immigration enforcement activity, has similarly stirred national outrage on the left and the right.”
The Post also slanders the Trump administration:
But President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem have continued to fault Good in connection with the shooting, which Noem described as an act of self-defense when Good “weaponized” her car to hit ICE officer Jonathan Ross, calling her a “domestic terrorist.”
Romanucci, the newly-hired attorney, says he and co-counsel Kevin C. Riach, will be launching a “civil investigation” into Good’s death at the hands of the ICE officer.
The lawyer portrayed Good as an innocent woman who had just dropped her child off at school.
A spokeswoman for the law firm said they plan to file a claim against ICE, the federal government and potentially other “responsible parties.”
