Is the Trump Administration Protecting the Minneapolis ICE Shooter? DOJ Officials Resign in Protest

"She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times.” (Credit: Chad Davis/Wikimedia Commons)

The Trump administration has refused to open a civil rights investigation into US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer Jonathan Ross, who fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis on 7 January, prompting allegations of a cover-up and triggering the resignation of at least a dozen federal prosecutors.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced on Tuesday that there is 'currently no basis for a criminal civil rights investigation,' despite video evidence that critics say contradicts the administration's official narrative.
