Donna Ganger, the mother of Renee Good, revealed that she voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election before demanding accountability for her daughter’s murder.

Good, 37, was fatally shot on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis during the Department of Homeland Security’s Operation Metro Surge in the city. She was a U.S. citizen and a legal observer of federal immigration actions in the city. Good was not a target for arrest.

However, after the shooting, then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem called Good a “domestic terrorist” who refused to obey orders to get out of her car and “weaponized her vehicle” and “attempted to run” over an officer. But Minnesota officials dispute Noem’s account, citing videos showing Good attempting to drive away.

During a joint hearing of the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Tuesday, Ganger revealed that she voted for Trump because she supported his immigration policy.

“It’s torture that as her mom and as her family, we could not protect Renee,” Ganger testified in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “But no one can protect against others who are determined to disregard our country’s constitutional rules and values.”

“Our family is a very American blend,” she continued. “We vote differently, but we love each other deeply. I’m a registered Republican. I voted for President Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the United States — innocents like our family and the others here — against terrorists, certainly not to accuse those here of being terrorists and take precious lives.”

“But far more than being a Republican, I am a Christian,” Ganger added. “Jesus teaches us to forgive, and I have, but what we are asking for is accountability.”

Good was killed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who was captured on camera firing several shots through the windshield of Good’s vehicle as she tried to leave the area. Ross faced no consequences; he has since been reassigned to a different state and continues to work for the federal government.

“Our family has waited, our country has waited, and we will not wait any longer. The time is absolutely now for accountability for the deep damage done by ICE and others,” Good’s brother, Brent Ganger, said at the hearing. “We will not be quiet. We will not go away.”

Stella Carlson, the woman who filmed Alex Pretti’s death at the hands of federal immigration agents, was also present at the hearing.

“I certainly never expected to bear witness to the final moment of a peaceful, dedicated member of my community,” said Carlson. “I didn’t know Alex; we had never met, but I saw him standing in the street with a camera in one hand, directing traffic with the other. He was calm, peaceful, handling the scene with grace.”

Carlson said everything changed after Pretti tried to help a woman.

“I watched Alex be taken to the ground with a swarm of masked agents on top of him,” she said. “And they shot him again, and again and again.”

Pretti,37, was shot by Border Patrol officers on Jan. 24.  He was an American citizen who worked as an ICU nurse at a VA medical center. At the time, Noem said Pretti approached officers with a handgun. But video shows Pretti was holding a cellphone in one hand before an officer pushed him to the ground and yelled that he had a gun. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said Pretti was a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry.

ProPublica identified Border Patrol Agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection Officer Raymundo Gutierrez as the federal officers who fatally shot Pretti.

Minnesota officials say federal agents first agreed to work with them at the scene of Good’s shootings, then federal officials later took control of the evidence. At the Pretti shooting, they say federal authorities physically blocked state investigators from accessing the scene.

At Tuesday’s hearing, witnesses called on lawmakers to pass laws to protect citizens and hold ICE accountable for the murders.
