Top Trump administration officials, including FBI Director Kash Patel, intervened to stop federal agents from carrying out a civil rights investigation into an ICE agent’s fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis last month, fearing such a probe would undermine President Trump’s claims about Good’s death, an explosive new report in the New York Times claims.

The day of the shooting, Minnesota-based federal prosecutor Joseph Thompson allegedly sought a warrant to search Good’s vehicle for evidence, part of an effort he told colleagues would involve the state’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and investigate whether the shooting was justified or it violated the slain mother’s rights.

However, once FBI agents obtained a warrant to document blood spatter and bullet holes in Good’s SUV, they received orders to stop, The New York Times reports, citing anonymous sources.

Instead, according to the paper, the Justice Department encouraged investigators to seek new warrants for a criminal investigation into whether Good assaulted ICE agent Jonathan Ross and to probe Good’s partner instead.

A civil rights case was never pursued, and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has said federal officials blocked it from accessing case files and evidence from the scene.

Now several top prosecutors have resigned in protest, leaving Minnesota’s U.S. attorney’s office “severely understaffed and in crisis.”
