Federal prosecutors resign over ICE shooting investigation; incident impacts tourism confidence

On January 7, 2026, ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, an unarmed U.S. citizen. Six federal prosecutors from the Minnesota U.S. attorney's office and four leaders of the DOJ's civil rights division resigned in protest after Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon declined to open a civil rights investigation into the shooting, despite career prosecutors' offer to lead an inquiry. By April 2026, the incident was cited among factors contributing to reduced international tourism confidence in the United States, alongside concerns about expanded ICE enforcement at airports and TSA staffing shortages.
