The family of Renee Good, the woman shot by an ICE agent during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, has hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd’s relatives.
Chicago-based Romanucci & Blandin announced Wednesday it will represent the parents, siblings and widow of Renee Good, The Hill reported. The firm secured a $27 million settlement for the Floyd family in 2021 after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin killed Floyd during an arrest.
Good, 37, died on January 7 after ICE agent Jonathan Ross reportedly shot her in south Minneapolis. (RELATED: Feds Claim ICE Agent Who Shot Renee Good Suffered From Internal Bleeding To Torso)
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News that Good had been “stalking and impeding ICE all day” before the fatal encounter. Noem said Good attempted to “weaponize her vehicle” to run over an officer.
“She then proceeded to weaponize her vehicle,” Noem said, calling the shooting an act of self-defense and describing Good’s actions as “domestic terrorism.”

The family disputes that account. In a statement released through their attorneys, Good’s parents called her “the beautiful light of our family” and said they do not want her “used as a political pawn, but rather as an agent of peace for all.”
A spokeswoman for the firm told The Washington Post it plans to file claims against ICE and the federal government.
“It is always challenging to pursue litigation against state and local law enforcement officers because of the many immunities they are afforded,” Romanucci said. “But legal action against the federal government is even more complex.”
The FBI is investigating the shooting. Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned this week amid reports the Justice Department sought to investigate Good’s widow, according to Fox News. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, who led the state’s massive Feeding Our Future fraud investigation, was among those who stepped down.
Minnesota state officials have launched a separate review after the FBI excluded state investigators from the case.
