DOJ Finds No Crime in ICE Agent’s Fatal, Nationwide Outrage-Inducing Shooting

KEY POINTS

•Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced Tuesday there's no current basis for a civil rights probe into ICE agent's killing of Renee Nicole Good.
•Federal investigators last week restricted Minnesota's access, placing the FBI in sole control amid backlash from local and state officials.
•At least six prosecutors, including Joe Thompson, resigned from the U.S. attorney’s office over concerns about the investigation's handling.

On a Tuesday so bleak Todd Blanche announced there’s 'currently no basis' for a civil rights probe into ICE agent’s shooting of Minneapolis mom Renee Nicole Good, officially dashing hopes of accountability through federal channels. FBI wrestled Minnesota investigators mid-case, flipping the script into a one-agency drama causing state officials to throw a mini temper tantrum. Simultaneously, six U.S. prosecutors including fraud-buster Joe Thompson suddenly quit Minnesota’s office, presumably in protest or just collective bad timing. Trump admins double down defending the cold trigger as self-defense while branding Good a domestic terrorist — because nuance is for losers — as protests raged nationwide and a Portland agent fired another upset round. Justice Department mute, because silence says everything.
