The US government and ICE agents bear responsibility for the death of Renee Good and must be held accountable through legal measures to prevent further similar cases.

Accountability – real accountability – is the only way to ensure that no other family has to go through what we have been through.

The text reports on the filing of a lawsuit in federal court in Minneapolis by the partner and brother of the deceased Renee Good against the US government and specific federal officials. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) declares its solidarity and demands justice. Kelley Robinson, president of the HRC, emphasizes that Renee was shot by an ICE agent and that the government is not taking responsibility. Becca Good describes in her statement the personal loss and the pain the family is experiencing. She refers to other families who have suffered similar losses and demands real accountability to prevent further cases. The text connects the individual case with a broader critique of the actions of ICE and the US government. An appeal is directed at the public and at state authorities to take responsibility and to create justice.

MINNEAPOLIS – Today in Minneapolis, Becca Good, the partner of Renee Good, and Renee’s brother Brent Ganger filed lawsuits in federal court against the U.S. government as a whole and against the federal officials specifically responsible for the actions leading to Renee’s death in January. HRC President Kelley Robinson issued the following statement in solidarity: “The Good family is one of our own — and today, the Human Rights Campaign joins them in demanding justice. It has been 8 months and 24 days since Renee was shot and killed by an ICE agent, and the United States government has failed to take responsibility for its actions. Her partner, Becca, and brother Brent, have made the brave and bold decision to hold the government accountable, and we stand with them. Like every person murdered by ICE, Renee should be alive today. The Goods were robbed of what every American family deserves: To be together.” Statement from Becca Good: “Every morning, she is my first thought. I think about how the kids are growing up without their mama, and how I will grow old without the love of my life. I think about how we should have had 40 more years together. But I also think about what she would have wanted after all of this,” said Plaintiff Becca Good. “As we have tried to navigate our own massive loss, I am also devastated by how many other lives have been destroyed in this darkest of times. So many other families are dealing with the loss of their loved ones; to everyone who has had to witness it — the pain of this moment extends far beyond our family. What happened to us should never happen to any family. No child should grow up without a parent because of it. No one should lose their sister or their daughter. No one should have to live without their soulmate. Accountability — real accountability — is the only way to make sure that no other family has to go through what we have.” ###
