The Department of Justice confirmed that it would not investigate the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent, despite the incident being recorded on multiple phones and occurring near the site of George Floyd’s murder. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the publicly available video evidence cleared the officer and that the department does not investigate all incidents where officers defend themselves. This decision contrasts with the previous administration’s investigation of the George Floyd killing, which resulted in convictions. Critics have raised concerns due to the involvement of high-ranking officials sharing false claims and potentially impeding justice.

It’s difficult to avoid the feeling that a serious situation is unfolding, one that demands attention. The core of this concern revolves around the events surrounding the shooting of Good, and the subsequent actions of the White House.

Following an incident in Chicago where Marimar Martinez was shot by a Border Patrol officer after allegedly ramming his vehicle, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) labeled her a “domestic terrorist,” echoing similar narratives used in other shooting incidents. This narrative was later debunked as the charges against Martinez were dropped due to lack of evidence, contradicting the initial claims of self-defense and threats against agents. The article highlights a disturbing pattern: federal agents use deadly force, and the government subsequently disseminates false information to justify the actions. Despite the lack of evidence, the government took steps to cover up the event including altering evidence. Martinez and her lawyer are preparing to sue for damages resulting from the shooting and subsequent trauma.

Mannheimer stated that state prosecutors can pursue charges against federal officials.
