A month after Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an immigration officer in Minneapolis, her partner spoke out on Saturday, condemning the federal government’s immigration crackdown that took Good's life and urging the city to remember those whose names are never known.

In a rare statement issued through her attorney, Becca Good thanked the city and said she was “so proud to call Minneapolis my home.” She also criticized the federal government’s immigration enforcement operation in the Twin Cities, during which federal law enforcement killed her partner and ICU nurse Alex Pretti, 37.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” she said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

“They are neighbors, friends, coworkers, classmates. And we must also know their names,” she added. “Because this shouldn’t happen to anyone.” Becca Good has seldom spoken publicly since her partner’s killing on Jan. 7.
