Openly-LGBTQI+ U.S. Representatives Condemn I.C.E. Killing of LGBTQI+ Woman in Minnesota

Washington, DC — Following the tragic killing of Renee Nicole Good—wife, mother, and member of the LGBTQI+ community—in Minneapolis this week, the 12 Co-Chairs of the Congressional Equality Caucus released the following joint statement:

“Renee Nicole Good was a wife, mother, poet, singer, member of the LGBTQI+ community, and United States citizen. Her tragic killing will forever be a stain on the moral fabric of our nation. We solemnly join Renee’s friends, loved ones—including her wife and young children—and community in Minnesota in mourning this heartbreaking loss.

“We must demand accountability from the Trump Administration and fight for justice for Renee. Federal authorities must allow a full, transparent, and independent investigation that involves state and local law enforcement agencies in order for justice to be served and to ensure these senseless acts of violence never happen ever again.”
