FBI agent resigns over investigation into shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis, sources say

An FBI agent has resigned over the investigation into the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good after Trump administration officials focused the probe more on the actions of Good and her partner and less on the officer who shot her, according to two people familiar with the decision.

The agent, who was a supervisor in the Minneapolis field office, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday night.

Good, 37, was fatally shot on Jan. 7 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross as she was in the driver’s seat of her SUV. The shooting sparked outcry and protest decrying the presence of federal immigration officers.

The FBI launched an investigation after the shooting and initially included local officials, which is customary. However, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said it was cut out of the investigation.

The New York Times first reported the agent’s resignation.

A spokesperson for the Minneapolis FBI field office said it was “FBI policy not to comment on personnel matters.”

It comes after six prosecutors with the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota resigned over their concerns about the direction of the investigation.

The investigation so far has focused more on Good’s partner and whether she impeded a federal officer in the moments prior to the shooting — and less on the officer’s direct actions.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said there was “currently no basis” for a criminal Civil Rights Division investigation into Ross.

Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, as well as other local officials, have called for the end of federal immigration operations in the state.

The Justice Department is investigating Minnesota officials including Walz and Frey over allegations that they conspired to impede federal immigration agents through public statements they have made, NBC News reported last week, citing a senior law enforcement official and a person familiar with the matter.

Walz has called the investigation political and Frey has said it was an attempt to intimidate him.

Also in Minnesota, judges denied motions by the Trump administration to detain protesters who were arrested this week in connection with a demonstration at a St. Paul church where a pastor allegedly worked for ICE.

A federal magistrate judge found there was no probable cause to charge two of the protesters on FACE Act charges, a federal statute that contains provisions covering houses of worship.
