Expert: State Has Right to Charge ICE Officer in Renée Good Killing

Following the fatal shooting of Renée Good by an ICE agent, the question of whether the officer can be prosecuted has arisen.

Bennett highlights that the state of Minnesota has the right to prosecute the agent, though the FBI’s interference might complicate matters. He emphasizes that the use of deadly force must be objectively reasonable, and the fact that other officers did not fire their weapons could be damaging to the agent’s case.
