DOJ Internal Revolt Over ICE Shooting

• 🚨 Senior DOJ officials allegedly ordered prosecutors to investigate the widow of Renee Good, not the ICE agent who shot her, in an attempt to justify her killing.

• 🏛️ Thompson reportedly strenuously objected to the decision not to investigate the shooting as a civil rights matter and was outraged by the demand to investigate the victim's widow.
• 🚫 The DOJ overruled Thompson's plan to cooperate with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), with the FBI allegedly "icing out" the BCA and preventing access to evidence.
