DOJ Civil-Rights Leaders Resign as Charges Grow Unlikely in Minneapolis ICE Shooting

Federal control of the probe has raised doubts about an impartial review.

Overview

  • The Washington Post reported that multiple senior prosecutors in DOJ’s Civil Rights Division resigned in protest after leaders declined to open a civil-rights probe into the shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
  • People familiar with the case told the New York Times that criminal charges against the ICE agent are increasingly unlikely, according to subsequent reports.
  • DHS released new pre-shooting video that stops before the gunfire, intensifying disputes over whether Good’s vehicle posed an imminent threat.
  • The FBI is running an exclusive federal investigation while Minnesota pursues a parallel criminal inquiry and has also filed suit over the broader ICE surge tied to the incident.
  • Nationwide demonstrations continued as federal reinforcements were sent to Minneapolis, with clashes outside an ICE facility and police using tear gas to disperse crowds on Tuesday.
