Your Facebook statement regarding the killing of Renee Nicole Good is deeply disturbing and fails to meet the most basic standard of leadership. According to information released by Minnesota officials and widely reported by nonpartisan local media, Ms. Good was shot while seated in her vehicle on her own street during a federal enforcement operation. She was a civilian. She was not attacking anyone. She was not interfering. She was attempting to leave. Video evidence and eyewitness accounts show that the ICE agent involved was not incapacitated or under imminent threat. He was able to move freely, return to his vehicle, and leave the scene. Yet your statement falsely centers this event on the supposed danger faced by ICE while omitting the death of a Minnesota resident. More troubling, credible reports indicate that Ms. Good was left bleeding inside her vehicle and that a neighbor who is a physician asked to render medical aid and was denied by ICE agents. She died without receiving care. This is not a minor detail—it is central to understanding the gravity of what occurred. Governor Tim Walz and Minnesota officials have called for a full, transparent investigation and raised concerns about federal agencies limiting state involvement. Your statement ignores these facts and instead repeats a federal narrative that is actively being questioned by Minnesota authorities. You did not name Renee Nicole Good. You did not acknowledge her death. You did not express condolences to her family. That silence is not neutral—it is a choice. Minnesotans expect their representatives to value human life, respect facts, and demand accountability when government force results in the death of a constituent. I urge you to correct the record, publicly acknowledge Ms. Good by name, and support an independent and transparent investigation. Anything less is a failure to represent the people of Minnesota.
