Minneapolis: Several prosecutors in the Minnesota Attorney General's office have resigned following pressure over the handling of the investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer.

According to Thai News Agency, NBC News reported that at least three prosecutors stepped down due to discomfort with the direction of the investigation into the January 7 shooting. The prosecutors expressed concern over pressure from senior Justice Department officials in Minneapolis and Washington, D.C., to explore potential connections between Good and activist groups. They were also troubled by the exclusion of local and Minnesota officials from participating in the federal investigation.

Bystander footage shows officers instructing Good to exit her vehicle, followed by her attempt to drive away, during which several gunshots were fired, leading to her vehicle crashing. Officer Jonathan Ross, who fired the shots, captured a shaky cell phone video that shows Good briefly interacting with another officer before attempting to drive away, prompting Ross to fire.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is currently investigating the incident. However, U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that there is no basis for the Department's Human Rights Division to initiate a criminal investigation. ICE's Office of Public Accountability is conducting an internal review, as is customary when ICE officers discharge their weapons.

The Department of Homeland Security maintains that Good used her vehicle as a weapon with the intent to harm the ICE officer, justifying the shooting as self-defense. In contrast, local officials argue that Good, an acclaimed poet, was merely attempting to leave the scene.

This incident follows the deployment of over 2,000 ICE and Department of Homeland Security agents to Minneapolis to probe accusations by a right-wing influencer regarding fraudulent subsidies at a Somali-run daycare center in the area.
