A push by the Department of Justice to open an investigation into the widow of Renee Nicole Good after her tragic killing at the hands of a federal immigration officer has sparked a mass resignation of federal prosecutors in Minnesota, reports say. According to reports, at least a dozen federal prosecutors across Washington and Minnesota have indicated their plans to resign.

The day I married my husband was cool and quiet, and filled with the kind of calm that feels sacred. I wore my favorite color, indigo-purple, and my soon-to-be husband, Allan, looked dapper in cobalt blue. Our best friend, who served as our witness at Brooklyn City Hall, wore the perfect shade of green to complete the moment. As our names were called to step into the chapel, I could feel my heart racing, and my breath was shallow with anticipation.

I worry about that Trump is looking for this kind of pandemonium to go on like you just described. So that he could declare martial law or something and also cancel the midterms,

Being a U.S. citizen affords those bystanders some relative degree of privilege, such as the relative certainty that if they're detained, they'll eventually be unceremoniously released and shoved back out into the streets-but at the same time, one has to be wary of trigger-happy federal agents who may feel "threatened" at any moment, with results like the ICE shooting death of Renee Nicole Good.

We immediately reached out to the ICE facility office at the Bethpage facility, but shockingly, the phone number doesn't even work. It says that the number is disconnected. There is no public information about how to reach someone who is being detained at the Bethpage facility, Menin said. There's actually no way to reach out to this individual, and I just want to be clear, as Speaker of the City Council, I cannot even call this ICE detention center to collect information.

Following last week's fatal shooting of Renee Macklin Good, a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, protests have continued to grow across the United States.

An online fundraiser defending Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, is drawing scrutiny for language that injects the Jewish identity of Mayor Jacob Frey into its appeal, a detail critics say is both gratuitous and revealing amid a broader rise in anti-Semitic rhetoric on the right. The fundraiser, hosted on GiveSendGo and promoted by Alpha News reporter Liz Collin, frames Ross as a heroic law enforcement officer acting in self-defense during a chaotic encounter.

"Sir! This is a warning!" an agent yells at a driver in video posted to the Minneapolis subreddit over the weekend. "Stop f**king following us! You are impeding operations! This is the United States federal government!" The driver explained that he lived in the area. "I serve the Lord. Go to church," the driver said. "I will arrest you!" the ICE agent shouted before walking away. The driver continued to say that the agents should let people go to church.

President Donald Trump on Sunday blamed Renee Nicole Macklin Good and her wife, Becca Good for Wednesday's fatal shooting of Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, portraying the 37-year-old Minneapolis mother as "very radical," "very violent," and "highly disrespectful" toward law enforcement - language that critics say amounts to an attempt to justify the use of deadly force while erasing the identity of a same-sex couple at the center of a national tragedy.

This harm does not discriminate. It is coming for everyone. And that is exactly why ICE must be stopped, because they're not operating with any Constitutional due diligence. They are lawless, they are masked thugs. All of our communities are vulnerable to this rogue agency, and Congress must rein them in, Pressley said. And we have the power of the purse and appropriation to do just that.

The killing of Renee Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis this week came as Republicans in Congress were planning to bring a homeland security spending bill to the House floor, deciding on whether the agency that's surged thousands of armed agents into communities across the country should have increased funding - and progressive lawmakers are demanding that the Democrats use the upcoming government funding deadline to hopefully reduce the department's ability to wreak further havoc.

My father froze. He looked at my mom, then at me. For a few seconds, nobody moved. My mom whispered, "Don't open it." But he did. Maybe it was pride. Maybe it was fear. Maybe he thought cooperating would make it all OK. The people at the door said it would be quick, just a few questions. They said he'd be back soon. They said a lot of things that didn't turn out to be true.

"Vance knows that protesting, fleeing or even interfering in an ICE investigation (which there is no evidence that Good did) does not carry a death sentence. Vance knows that lying and killing are sins. Vance knows. He doesn't care. Vance's twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity has been repudiated by two popes. His Catholicism seems to be little more than a political prop, a tool only for his career ambitions and desire for power."
