House Democrats Accuse DHS of Cover-Up as Renee Good’s Brothers Testify

The report cites obstructed investigations, alleging a culture of impunity after two fatal shootings in Minneapolis.

Overview

  • House Oversight Committee Democrats released a report alleging the Trump administration and DHS impeded impartial probes and fostered “extreme” tactics tied to the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
  • The report faults assurances that agents had “absolute immunity,” noting Vice President J.D. Vance has since walked back the claim.
  • Good’s brothers, Luke and Brent Ganger, urged accountability at a Capitol forum led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Rep. Robert Garcia, which no Republican members attended.
  • The Justice Department has opened a civil-rights investigation into Pretti’s killing but has declined to initiate the same review for Good’s death.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced body cameras for officers in Minneapolis, a move Minnesota’s governor dismissed as damage control as witnesses detailed other violent encounters on video.
