DOJ sees no basis for civil rights investigation following ICE shooting in Minneapolis, official says
Federal prosecutors resigned after DOJ excluded Civil Rights Division from probe into ICE agent's fatal shooting of Renee Good, with no criminal charges expected, officials said.
- On Jan. 13, 2026, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said `There is currently no basis for a criminal civil rights investigation` into the killing of Renee Nicole Good.
- After being excluded from the probe, the Civil Rights Division was told not to participate at this stage, prompting the resignations of four Civil Rights Division supervisors and other federal prosecutors.
- On Jan. 7, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good after she moved her car forward, with officials describing his actions as self-defense and labeling it domestic terrorism.
- Public outrage grew after widely viewed footage and a national poll showed over half of American voters thought the shooting was unjustified, while mainstream outlets report the DOJ is investigating Good's widow.
- The FBI is leading the investigation and has denied state assistance through the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, while the DOJ Civil Rights Division's staffing thinned with nearly 400 attorneys leaving under Harmeet Dhillon.
