Wife of Minnesota woman killed in ICE shooting: 'We had whistles. They had guns'

The wife of the woman shot and killed by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis says the couple had stopped their car to support their neighbors and they had whistles, while the masked agents had guns. It was the first public comment from Rebecca Good about the death of Renee Good, the mother of three killed Wednesday when three Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers surrounded and tried to force open the door of her Honda Pilot SUV and the vehicle lurched forward. Trump administration officials have painted Renee Good as a domestic terrorist who tried to run over an officer with her vehicle. Rebecca Good described her late wife as a Christian who was trying to build a better world.
