The Department of Justice has reportedly launched a criminal investigation into whether Renee Nicole Good’s widow may have impeded an ICE agent moments before he shot and killed her wife during a heated confrontation in Minneapolis.
The federal probe into Good’s grieving wife, Rebecca, will focus on her possible ties to activist groups and her actions leading up to the moment veteran ICE agent Jonathan Ross opened fire on Jan. 7, two people familiar with the investigation told NBC News.
“There has been no contact from the FBI or federal officials indicating Becca Good is the subject of an investigation,” her lawyer, Antonio Ramanucci, told the outlet.

The Trump administration has said Ross had no choice but to open fire on Good, claiming the 37-year-old mother of three “weaponized” her SUV against the law enforcement officer and hit him.

Good was with her wife, who was heckling Ross and other officers outside the car, as the anti-ICE “warrior” remained in the driver’s seat of her plum colored Honda pilot that was perpendicular on the road.
As another ICE officer told Good to get out of her vehicle, Rebecca shouted at her to “Drive, baby, drive, drive,” before she peeled off and clipped Ross, prompting him to fire multiple shots through her windshield and open window, according to video captured on the agent’s phone.
A video taken in the aftermath of the shooting showed Rebecca sobbing as she cried, “It’s my fault.”

An incident report from the Minneapolis Fire Department found that Good was shot four times — in the chest, arm and head, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
The Department of Homeland Security maintains that the agent opened fire in self-defense and labeled Good a “domestic terrorist.”
The fatal incident has since sparked raucous demonstrations and violent, viral clashes between agitators and immigration officers in Minneapolis, which resulted in DHS deploying thousands of additional ICE agents to the chaos-ridden area.
The DOJ is also reportedly investigating Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

The probe, which is in its early stages, will determine whether the two Democrats engaged in a conspiracy to impede federal immigration agents, a source told CBS News.
The investigation appears to stem from statements made by Walz and Frey denouncing the nearly 3,000 federal law enforcement agents deployed to the Minneapolis area in recent weeks.
“When the governor or the mayor threaten our officers, when the mayor suggests that he’s encouraging citizens to call 911 when they see ICE officers, that is very close to a federal crime,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News.
