A forgotten media moment from earlier this year was that Olivia Reingold embedded with ICE agents in Minnesota and never wrote about what it was like because doing so would turn Free Press readers into No Kings marchers.

Renée Good’s family filed two federal lawsuits on Thursday, nine months after she was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross amid the Trump administration’s violent occupation and mass deportations campaign in Minneapolis.

They called her a domestic terrorist. Now Renée Good’s family is suing.
The family alleges wrongful death and deprivation of civil rights.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.
