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.

    Oh they get it. They do not care because the person that was harmed was not one of them. Even then…the number of faces eaten by leopards is staggering

      I agree with you. It is unbelievable that they took a mother away from her children and the next moment they are talking about going after the other parent. To try to take both parents away is truly evil.

        We used to wonder how the Nazis came to power. Somewhere far in the future, during a time of peace somewhere within the United Countries of Eurasia, a child will ask a teacher in the classroom, how was it possible for the MAGA to come to power?
