WASHINGTON, DC-Today, Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. (NC-12) released a statement calling for an independent investigation into the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a masked ICE agent during ICE's siege of Minneapolis.

"I am appalled at the video of a masked ICE agent fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis and the abhorrent, inhumane response by the Trump administration," said Congresswoman Adams. "When Charlotte was under siege by Border Patrol last year, my greatest fear was that the brutal tactics employed by federal agents would leave one or more of my constituents dead. For Minneapolis, that unthinkable tragedy has happened and it's clear that no community is safe while ICE is present. I'm calling for an independent investigation into this incident-separate from administration officials who have responded only with lies and misinformation-so the American people can get answers and justice can be served. We cannot let this be the new normal."
