An FBI supervisor walked away from her job after top brass in Washington shut down her civil rights probe into an immigration officer who shot and killed a 37-year-old mother in Minneapolis.

Renee Good was unarmed and behind the wheel of her Honda Pilot when Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross opened fire multiple times. The Trump administration squashed investigations into Ross and instead turned their focus on Good and her partner, Becca Good, over alleged ties to left-wing protest groups.

Tracee Mergen, a supervisor in the FBI's Minneapolis field office, sought to investigate Ross but was pressured by FBI leadership in Washington to end a civil rights inquiry, The New York Times reported Friday. Her exit marked the latest bombshell fallout from the Justice Department's controversial handling of the shooting.

Trump administration officials branded Good a "domestic terrorist," claiming she tried to ram Ross with her vehicle. A New York Times video analysis disputed the conclusion, showing no indication that Ross was run over.

Federal investigators have refused to play ball with state and local prosecutors in Minnesota, hampering any independent investigation into Ross's conduct.
