MPR, 1/17/26

An analysis of videos, 911 calls, fire department records and dispatch logs conducted by MPR News and APM Reports raises questions about whether the federal agency that mortally wounded Renee Macklin Good did enough to try to save her life.

It took more than 10 minutes after Macklin Good was shot by a federal immigration officer before someone gave her CPR. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are trained in basic CPR, a series of lifesaving techniques that can keep blood flowing to vital organs, but they did not perform it on Macklin Good after she was shot by ICE officer Jonathan Ross on Jan. 7.

After what appeared to be a brief medical assessment, ICE agents left her bleeding and alone in the car for almost three minutes. They also turned away a man identifying himself as a physician who offered to help.

“Is somebody that’s medically trained pronouncing this woman dead?” the man asked, as agents swore at him and kept him back.

“All ICE candidates are subject to months of rigorous training and selection at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center where they are trained in everything from deescalation tactics, driving, firearms, and medical training,” wrote Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, in response to an email seeking comment. “We do pray for the deceased and her family, and as well as for our officer and all affected in this situation.”

Well, at least they prayed, and did so in an inclusive way (sarc)
