"In the past weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps her death would bring about change in our country, and it has not."
"The completely surreal scenes taking place on the streets of Minneapolis are beyond explanation."
"This is not just a bad day or a rough week or isolated incidents; these encounters with federal agents are changing the community and changing many lives, including ours, forever."
"I still don't know how to explain to my four-year-old what these agents are doing when we pass by,"
Renée Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on January 7 following an altercation with several agents. Her brothers Brent and Luke Ganger testified on February 3 at a congressional hearing examining the use of force by federal immigration agents. Luke Ganger said the family had hoped her death would bring change, but that change has not occurred and that surreal scenes on Minneapolis streets are beyond explanation. He said encounters with federal agents are altering the community and many lives, including his family’s, and that he cannot explain these actions to his four-year-old. The hearing was organized by Senator Richard Blumenthal and Representative Robert Garcia as part of an inquiry.
