Tensions continued over the weekend in Minneapolis, as protesters clashed in the streets with law enforcement, following the second shooting there in about a week involving a federal officer.

The Department of Homeland Security said that on Wednesday, a federal law enforcement officer shot a person, who they say had fled a traffic stop and then, along with two other people, began attacking the officer.

That incident followed the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, on Jan. 7. DHS officials said Good was allegedly attempting to run over law enforcement officers when an ICE officer fatally shot her -- a claim that local officials have disputed.

Renee Good's family retains attorneys who represented George Floyd's family

Renee Good's family has retained attorneys from Chicago-based law firm Romanucci & Blandin, which represented George Floyd's family following his death in May 2020.

"What happened to Renee is wrong, contrary to established policing practices and procedures, and should never happen in today's America," the firm said in a statement.

The firm added that Good's family wants "to honor her life with progress toward a kinder and more civil America. They do not want her used as a political pawn, but rather as an agent of peace for all."

The firm said it intends to launch a civil investigation into the shooting.

Minnesota judge declines to issue TRO against ICE, seeks more evidence

Minnesota, along with the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, held a Zoom hearing on Wednesday to discuss the lawsuit against the federal government in an effort to stop the surge of ICE agents coming into the state.

During the hearing, Judge Catherine Menendez declined to issue a temporary restraining order against ICE operations in Minnesota and is seeking further evidence before issuing a ruling.

The plaintiffs requested a temporary restraining order from the judge, arguing that the ICE raids and surge are violating the rights of citizens. They argued that a temporary restraining order would allow attorneys enough time to prepare arguments.

Federal lawyers argued that since the state had not proven anything, there was no need for an order to temporarily halt the raid.

The federal government has until Jan. 19 to respond, and the state of Minnesota has until Jan. 22.

"Well, I want to say to the father that I love all of our people. They can be on the other side. As you say, he might be on my side," Trump said.


"I think it's great," Trump said when the reporter claimed Good's father "is on your side." "And I would bet you that she, under normal circumstances, was a very solid, wonderful person, but her actions were pretty tough," Trump said.
