Dear Neighbors,
My heart breaks that I have to write to you all following another tragedy. Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026 during a federal enforcement operation. Her death has deeply shaken our community and sparked calls for accountability, transparency, and justice across the country.
Renee should still be with us today. She was a devoted mother, a compassionate neighbor, and someone whose life mattered deeply to her family and loved ones. The loss of her life is profoundly infuriating and heartbreaking.
We are living through a time of extraordinary challenge. Our communities are hurting, neighborhoods are traumatized, our children carry fear, and even our schools have been forced to adapt in the wake of these events as local leaders and residents grapple with the aftermath.
My heart is with Renee’s family, her friends, her children, and all those who loved her. May we honor her memory by demanding truth, accountability, and the protection of every life in our community—and by working together to heal and strengthen the bonds that hold us together.
After they committed this crime, ICE attacked Minnesotans on school property, and the Trump admin tells us not to believe our eyes as they lie to our faces. Now, the federal government is blocking Minnesota law enforcement from investigating the killing of Renee Good. It’s a standard practice for state and local law enforcement to be able to collaborate on investigations, especially in situations like this where the local community is disrupted.
This decision means Minnesota law enforcement is pushed out, unable to review any evidence or facts, and aren’t able to represent Minnesota at the table. We need a thorough, independent investigation they can trust. Our BCA agents are nonpartisan, career professionals that have spent years building the community’s trust.
It is very difficult to make sense of any of this. But I do know that it is intolerable. You can get involved, you can be part of the solution. Here is a toolkit with information relating to knowing civil rights, legal assistance, emergency contacts, advocacy and community support, and numerous other resources. Whatever action you decide to take, please stay safe, please do not resort to anger and violence, and please care for your neighbors and loved ones.
