2 of Renee goodness's brothers wheel spoke lovingly of their sis during a public assembly hosted by U.S. Congressional Democrats.
Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Jan. 7. The purpose of Tuesday's forum was to discuss the use of force by federal agents carrying out the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
Luke Ganger spoke of the "deep distress" the family felt about Good dying in "such a violent and unnecessary way."
He said their family took some consolation in thinking that Good’s death might bring about change. "And it has not."
"The completely surreal scenes taking place on the streets of Minneapolis are beyond explanation," he said.
"This is not just a bad day or a rough week or isolated incidents. These encounters with federal agents are changing the community and changing many lives, including ours, forever."

Luke Ganger said the most important thing they could do was to explain to those listening "what a beautiful American we have lost. A sister. A daughter. A mother. A partner and a friend."
Brent Ganger spoke about his sister's hopeful spirit, saying she lived the belief "that kindness mattered."
"She chose to look for what was good, what was possible, and what was worth loving."
Renee Good 'chose optimism,' brother says
