Renee Good's family hires George Floyd law firm to investigate Minneapolis ICE shooting
Mankato Free Press ^ | January 14 2026 | Heather Hollingsworth

Renee Good ’s family is accusing federal immigration officers of killing the Minneapolis mother as she attempted to follow agents' instructions, and said Wednesday they have hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd ’s family to press for answers and accountability.

Her loved ones said in a statement they want Good, 37, remembered as “an agent of peace” and urged the public not to use her death as a political flashpoint, according to the Chicago-based firm Romanucci & Blandin. The firm said it will release information from its investigation in the coming weeks.

The family's decision to hire the law firm came the same week the Justice Department said it sees no basis to open a federal civil rights investigation into the shooting. An FBI probe of Renee Good’s death is ongoing.

(snip)

“What happened to Renee is wrong,” the firm said, adding that they intend to share findings “on a rolling basis” because they believe the community is not receiving adequate information elsewhere. The firm, which helped secure a $27 million settlement for Floyd’s family, is now representing Becca Good as well as Renee Good's parents and siblings.

So the wife didn’t say “drive baby drive”?

So putting the vehicle in gear and turning wheel is considered stopping and getting out of the vehicle?

Wow.

What planet is this?

I smell more grift.

This means the George Floyd law firm are exploiting the Good family for their “Go-fund” money. In all cases, follow the money.

she didn’t attempt to follow agents’ instructions, she tried to flee when being arrested and told to exit the vehicle.

“In all cases, follow the money.”

That is so true. Did you ever wonder why Mongolians don’t catch hell for Genghis Khan? They don’t have any money. If they had money it would be a major issue. As it is, they can name the national airport after him and nobody cares.

Those opportunistic law firms have a way of somehow showing up at leftist causes like the old days of William Kunstler defending any anti-American loser he had time to support.

Bring down America and make a boatload of money. What’s not for them to like?

“Renee Good ’s family...”


Which family? Her mom? Her so-called wife? The grandfather trying to get his grandson?

“What happened to Renee is wrong,”

Yes. Someone encouraged her to ignore a legal police order and use her car as a weapon. She struck a Federal officer in the line of duty, with a lethal weapon. This needs to be fully investigated and those that took part need to be held to account.

I know people like that, too. “As far as we’re concerned, we’re married. God will understand.” Will He? Guess we’ll all find out someday.

So? Like the seditious six like Mark Kelly and Slotkin the two woke women had the right to decide on which law enforcement orders to obey and which to ignore. True since the so called sanctuary cities and states made decisions on which federal laws to ignore and which to obey.

That sanctuary stuff should have been ended right away. Ignoring it led to all this. What if the organized crime bosses said “our mob headquarters is now a sanctuary headquarters.” “We do not obey any law enforcement from this day on.”

Is the report that one of her children was subjected to someone burning her arms with cigarettes true?

People should be looking into the reason a court ruled in favor of the man having custody of two children. They do that usually if there is a danger to the children. Not a common ruling.

“””I know people like that, too. “As far as we’re concerned, we’re married.”””

They identify as married.
