“There has been no contact from the FBI or federal officials indicating Becca Good is the subject of an investigation,” he said in a statement on Saturday, January 17.

The shooting occurred amid a federal immigration enforcement surge targeting the Twin Cities area on January 7.
The operation involved a significant deployment of federal agents across Minneapolis and St Paul, marking one of the most aggressive crackdowns in the region in recent years.
The ICE agent who shot Renee was identified as Jonathan Ross. Video footage from the scene shows Renee Nicole Ross confronting Good near her car and approaching the front of the SUV.
Renee Good is heard saying, “That’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you.” Another officer is then heard giving orders for her to get out of the car.
As Ross turns towards the front of the car, Becca Good, present near the scene, appears to say, “Drive.” Renee then turns the steering wheel to her right, away from the officer, and begins to move, after which Ross fired multiple shots at point-blank range.
In Ross’ body footage, he can be heard shouting before firing, and another agent was heard saying, “F***ing B*tch.”
