Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Renee Good's Brothers Testify on Capitol Hill as Democrats Decry DHS Tactics
Caption: Renee Good’s Brothers Testify on Capitol Hill as Democrats Decry DHS Tactics. Luke Ganger, brother of Renee Good, told Democrats on Capitol Hill that her death at the hands of federal immigration agents had failed to bring about meaningful change. Ganger expressed disillusionment, emphasizing how the tragic event had permanently affected their family and community, particularly the difficulty in explaining the actions of federal agents to his 4-year-old. The hearing, led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Rep. Robert Garcia, seeks to spotlight the excesses of federal immigration tactics under the Trump administration. Renee’s death, alongside the killing of Alex Pretti, sparked bipartisan criticism, prompting Homeland Security to soften its stance and implement new policies, including body cameras for ICE and Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. Despite changes, Democrats argue more needs to be done, pushing for reforms such as ending qualified immunity for ICE officers and imposing stricter requirements for ICE agent training and warrants. Sen. Blumenthal called for a “full accounting” of the Department of Homeland Security’s actions, vowing not to support further funding unless comprehensive reforms are enacted. At the hearing, Marimar Martinez, Aliya Rahman, and Martin Daniel Rascon shared personal stories of mistreatment by federal agents.
