Renée Good’s brothers Brent Ganger and Luke Ganger appeared in a 3 February Capitol Hill hearing to examine the use of force by federal immigration agents.
Luke Ganger, while testifying, said: “In the past weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps her death would bring about change in our country, and it has not.
“The completely surreal scenes taking place on the streets of Minneapolis are beyond explanation.”

Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on 7 January following an altercation with several agents.
“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.
“I still don’t know how to explain to my four-year-old what these agents are doing when we pass by,” Ganger said.
Tuesday’s hearing, organized by Dem. Senator Richard Blumenthal from Connecticut and Rep. Robert Garcia from California, was a part of an inquiry into the use of force by federal agents.
