ICE Agent's Fatal Shooting and Lack of Investigation

  • 🎯 An ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good in the face three times, yet no investigation into the agent's actions has been initiated by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
  • ⚠️ White House officials reportedly labeled the victim, Renee Good, a "domestic terrorist" shortly after the shooting.
  • ⚖️ The DOJ, specifically the civil rights division, has stated there is no basis for a criminal civil rights investigation into the ICE agent involved.

DOJ's Focus on Investigating the Victim's Wife and Protesters

  • 🔍 Instead of investigating the ICE agent, the DOJ is reportedly pushing for a criminal probe into Becca Good, the late Renee Good's wife.
  • 📣 The DOJ is also investigating ties between Renee Good and his wife Becca with groups that have been monitoring and protesting ICE conduct.
  • 🇺🇸 The host questions the priority of investigating protesters, calling it "pretty anti-American" unless specific illegal actions were taken.

Resignations Over DOJ's Demands

  • resignations from six prosecutors in Minnesota have occurred due to the DOJ's insistence on investigating Becca Good and their refusal to involve state officials in the shooting investigation.
  • 💼 Joseph Thompson, a lead prosecutor on a DOJ fraud investigation, resigned partly because he objected to the DOJ pressing for an investigation into Becca Good.
  • 📉 Thompson's resignation is seen as potentially counterproductive, as it could hinder efforts to root out fraud in Minnesota.
  • 🗣️ Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara suggested that losing the lead fraud prosecutor indicates the DOJ's actions are not genuinely about prosecuting fraud.
