Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement there was “no basis” for an investigation. The statement comes as new polling shows over half of Americans say the shooting was unjustified.

Justice Department officials said on Jan. 13 there is “no basis” for an investigation into the killing of Renee Nicole Good, the mother of three whose fatal shooting by an immigration enforcement agent sparked protests across the country.

“There is currently no basis for a criminal civil rights investigation,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement referring to Good.

The 37-year-old was fatally shot on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis, Minnesota by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross, when she moved her car forward near the ICE agent. Her death has inspired widespread protests against the Trump administration’s militarized use of the Department of Homeland Security.

    Yea, where is the call to not file taxes this year? We need a movement that calls for it so the few that do are not attacked. If you don’t expect a refund then we should just not file.

      I expect to owe thousands this year so I plan to file an extension to October and then just…not file.

      And then I’ll just slow responding to the letter if/when they come.

      I think it’ll work for awhile, I literally just got confirmation that my 2021 taxes that were filed on time were processed. They’re definitely lagging.

        If the government is going to pay you for filing the taxes you have already paid… Take the refund.

        If you owe money, tell the IRS to eat a bag of dicks.
