"One of the brothers of Renee Good, the 37-year-old mother of three who was shot and killed by an immigration agent in Minneapolis, told congressional Democrats on Tuesday that he needed their help. Luke Ganger said their family had taken some consolation in the thought that his sister's death might spark a change. "It has not," he said."
"Democrats heard from three U.S. citizens who are residents of San Bernardino, Chicago and Minneapolis. Also present were Good's two brothers and an attorney representing their family. Good's killing on Jan. 7 has led to a wave of national protests - further inflamed after agents fatally shot ICU nurse Alex Pretti, 37, two weeks later. Protesters have called on federal agents to stop using violence in pursuit of the Trump administration's mass deportation effort."
Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot and killed by an immigration agent in Minneapolis, prompting national protests. Her brother Luke Ganger and other people who say they were violently detained by immigration agents urged congressional Democrats for help. A forum convened by Rep. Robert Garcia and Sen. Richard Blumenthal gathered testimony about alleged violent tactics and disproportionate use of force by Department of Homeland Security agents. The forum included U.S. citizens from multiple cities, Good's family members, and legal representation. Calls intensified for sweeping reforms and a rebuilding of DHS and its sub-agencies.
