The FBI is investigating the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis woman, by a federal agent during a protest against immigration enforcement. The investigation is examining Good's possible connections to activist groups, in line with the White House's strategy to deflect blame from federal law enforcement. Critics argue that this approach could criminalize forms of political protest protected by the First Amendment. The Justice Department has not opened a civil rights investigation into the agent's actions, and experts say the administration has jumped the gun in labeling Good a 'domestic terrorist' without evidence.
