"ICE officials have claimed Ross acted in self-defense, and Good used her car as a weapon, a narrative local officials like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) have rejected. Footage from the scene shows Good partially blocking a roadway for agents. When they try to get her out of the vehicle, she moves her car, and Ross lets off three rounds."
"First of all, whatever the widow of Renee Good may have done, what her associations may have been is completely and totally irrelevant to the question of whether this was a justified legal self-defense shooting by the ICE officer. Second of all, prosecutors get leads on cases from all different places. Sometimes a cooperator or an informant will give you leads."
Six senior prosecutors in Minnesota resigned after reports that Department of Justice officials pushed to investigate the widow of Renee Good, who was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross. ICE has claimed Ross acted in self-defense and that Good used her car as a weapon, a narrative rejected by local officials including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. Scene footage shows Good partially blocking a roadway; when agents attempted to remove her from the vehicle she moved the car and Ross fired three rounds. Legal analyst Elie Honig called a focus on the widow indefensible and said such an inquiry is irrelevant to whether the shooting was legally justified.
