Press the Department of Justice and FBI to cooperate with Minnesota authorities in a joint, thorough, objective, and impartial investigation into the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good.

U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Tina Smith (D-MN) are pressing the U.S. Department of Justice, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to coordinate with state and local law enforcement and allow for a joint investigation with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension into the tragic shooting of Renee Nicole Good. In a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Klobuchar and Smith called for a thorough, objective, and impartial investigation, which requires full cooperation with state investigators and local authorities.

Smith joined Klobuchar in pressing DOJ and FBI to cooperate with state and local authorities on a joint investigation into Renee Nicole Good's fatal ICE shooting.

AP reported that U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi calling for a thorough, objective, and impartial investigation of Renee Good's fatal ICE shooting and saying that this required full cooperation with state investigators and local authorities.

This directly matches the commitment: Smith pressed DOJ leadership, with Klobuchar, to cooperate with Minnesota and local authorities in an impartial investigation.

The same AP report said the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension had been told the FBI and Justice Department would not work with it on the Good investigation, and that Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty was worried the FBI would not share evidence with state investigators.

Although Smith delivered the pressure action, the underlying federal cooperation she sought was still blocked at that point.

AP reported that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said there was currently no basis for a criminal civil rights investigation into Good's killing; AP also reported concerns that federal officials had blocked state investigators from evidence and declared Minnesota lacked jurisdiction.

This shows Smith's requested DOJ/FBI cooperation and full federal investigation did not materialize after her letter, but that does not negate the delivered oversight action.

AP reported that Minnesota officials sued the Trump administration for access to evidence needed to independently investigate shootings by federal officers, including Renee Good's killing, alleging the federal government reneged on a promise to cooperate and withheld investigative evidence.

The later lawsuit confirms that the cooperation Smith sought remained unresolved and contested months after her letter.

The Atlantic reported within the lookback window that nearly six months after Good's killing, no one had been arrested, federal officials continued to stonewall Minnesota state and local investigators, and Minnesota law enforcement was examining public evidence while awaiting possible charging decisions.

Latest-lookback evidence indicates the broader investigation and federal-state cooperation remained unresolved despite Smith's earlier pressure.
