Demand Hearings on Renee Goods Death: Congress Must Act!

To: Rep. Casar, Sen. Cruz, Sen. Cornyn

From: A verified voter in Austin, TX

January 11

On January 11, Secretary Noem announced she's sending "hundreds more" federal agents to Minneapolis, bringing the total to over 2,000 officers in a single city. This isn't de-escalation. It's doubling down after an agent shot Renee Nicole Good in the head on January 7. Instead of a transparent investigation, we got threats. "If they impede our operations, that's a crime and we will hold them accountable," Noem said. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called for an independent investigation: "Let's not have it exclusively run through the FBI at the federal government." State officials report the FBI is blocking their access to evidence. When federal agents kill a U.S. citizen and the response is to flood her city with more armed agents, we don't have accountability. We have occupation. Renee Nicole Good was a 37-year-old mother, poet, and U.S. citizen. Video analyzed by major news outlets shows her vehicle turning away from the agent when he fired. Noem called her a "domestic terrorist" without evidence. Trump declared it "self defense" hours after she died. Constitutional law requires accountability for federal agents who use deadly force. No American should be shot by their government and have federal authorities immediately close ranks, block state investigations, and threaten protesters. Congress must hold immediate hearings on Good's death, the FBI's obstruction of Minnesota's investigation, and the false "absolute immunity" claims made by Vice President Vance. This is not about immigration policy. This is about whether Americans have constitutional protections when federal agents kill us. You took an oath to defend the Constitution. Please, help us now!
