MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Renee Good's family sued the U.S. Administration and the architects of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown Thursday, saying "the time is absolutely now for accountability" for her killing in January by a federal agent in Minneapolis.

Good's partner, Becca Good, and her brother Brent Ganger on behalf of her larger family, accused the administration and Jonathan Ross, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot into her SUV and killed her, of unjustified and excessive apply of force.

Notably, the Jan. 7 shooting, captured on bystander video, was "the predictable and intended product" of the Trump administration's crackdown on Somali and other immigrants in Minnesota dubbed Operation Metro Surge, according to one of the two lawsuits.

"She was the love of my life, " Becca Good remarked at a news conference announcing the lawsuits. "I'm here today because last January, the whole world had to watch as our entire universe was destroyed – as the sunshine who was my amazing Renee was robbed from us, from her children, and from her community."

As he announces a lawsuit on behalf of her brother and family against the U.S. Administration and multiple immigration authorities, at a news conference, attorney Antonio Romanucci notes Renee Good deserves justice. The lack of accountability stuns Good's family.
