The family of anti-ICE activist Renee Good has retained the same high-profile civil rights attorneys who represented the family of George Floyd.
The move signals an aggressive legal response following Good’s death when she was fatally shot while ramming a federal immigration officer with her vehicle in Minneapolis earlier this month.
The family announced Wednesday that they are being represented by Antonio M. Romanucci, founding partner of Romanucci & Blandin, LLC.
The Chicago-based law firm that played a central role in the civil litigation following Floyd’s death and helped secure a $27 million settlement with the City of Minneapolis.
Minneapolis attorney Kevin Riach is serving as co-counsel.
Good, 37, was shot and killed on January 7 while running over a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent on a residential street in south Minneapolis.
Federal authorities have released evidence showing that the agent fired three shots in self-defense while being struck by Good’s vehicle.
However, Democrats and their corporate media allies are attempting to frame Good’s death as a “murder,” shifting the blame onto the agent who fired the shots and, ultimately, President Donald Trump.
Multiple investigations remain ongoing.
“The family of Renee Nicole Macklin Good is calling for peace,” the family said in a statement released through their attorneys.
“Peace not only across Minneapolis, a city in shock about her swift and cruel death at the hands of federal agents on a residential street, but peace in cities across the country where Americans are increasingly and understandably distressed by the conduct of the federal government that defies our constitutional values and sows chaos in our communities.”
“What happened to Renee is wrong, contrary to established policing practices and procedures, and should never happen in today’s America,” the statement continued.
In the run-up to her death, Good had been using her vehicle to block federal law enforcement operations.
She had reported being trained by ICE Watch on how to disrupt agents.
However, critics are attempting to claim that Good was merely an observer who was passing by after a school run.
In a statement, Romanucci pushed this same narrative about the incident.
“People in Minneapolis and across this country truly, truly care about what happened to Renee Good on January 7, 2026, and are committed to understanding how she could have been killed on the street after dropping her child off at school,” he said.
“They want to know what could and should have been done to let Renee live and pick her child up safely from school that afternoon,” Romanucci added.
“As often as possible, our team will promptly and transparently provide updates on what we learn.
“We are committed to providing Good transparency and Good accountability, which we ultimately hope leads to Good policing.”
Good was critically wounded and later pronounced dead at the scene.
Her attorneys allege that federal agents failed to render aid and prevented a bystander who identified himself as a physician from providing medical assistance.
The legal team said it plans to conduct an independent civil investigation and release findings publicly, citing what it describes as a lack of transparency from federal authorities.
Federal officials disclosed Wednesday that the ICE agent involved in the shooting suffered internal bleeding to the torso from being rammed by Good’s vehicle.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the injury but declined to provide additional details.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the agent, describing him as a seasoned law enforcement officer who was acting to protect himself and others.
Officials said the agent was hospitalized briefly and released the same day.
However, he later returned to the hospital for additional treatment after his condition worsened.
Good’s former father-in-law has publicly stated that he does not blame the agent, describing the incident as a chaotic, split-second encounter after reviewing video footage that shows the officer being struck by the vehicle.
Federal officials have also said the agent has received threats since the shooting and remains in a secure location.
