also inevitable, in a different sense. The family of Renee Good, the woman fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, sues Ross + Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Greg Bovino, and others, for her death. Will be first ensnared in a web of immunity claims but based on conduct might move forward.
