Federal authorities are scrutinizing Renee Nicole Good's partner, Becca Good, amid questions over whether she may have hindered federal immigration officer Jonathan Ross as he fired and killed Good in Minneapolis last week. Two individuals with knowledge of the ongoing probe told NBC News that investigators are focusing on Becca Good's alleged ties to activist groups and less on Ross' actions during the shooting.
According to sources, the investigation is centered around Becca Good's possible connections to activist circles, rather than examining whether her partner may have obstructed federal officer Ross. Meanwhile, the Justice Department has launched separate probes into Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly conspiring against federal immigration agents through public statements.
Critics of ICE's enforcement tactics have called the investigation 'obviously political' as politicians in Minneapolis have condemned Ross' actions. The Democratic officials and local officials have expressed concerns over the handling of the probe, with some calling for greater accountability from law enforcement agencies.
Former prosecutors and experts are warning that the FBI's domestic terrorism unit would typically be required to sign off on such an extensive investigation into Becca Good, but sources suggest it is being bypassed. Instead, agents appear to be focusing on possible connections between Becca Good and activist groups.

This whole situation just stinks of a fishy investigation... I mean, what's the real agenda here? If they're really concerned about whether Becca hindered Ross in any way, why aren't they taking a closer look at his actions leading up to the shooting? 
It seems like we have a classic case of looking for scapegoats rather than getting to the root of the issue. And what's with this sudden interest in activist groups? Are they trying to deflect attention from Ross' actions or is it just a case of sloppy investigation? 
This whole thing feels like a big ol' mess and I'm not buying into the narrative that Becca's partner was somehow involved. 
It's like, we should be questioning the actions of those in power, right? 
The fact that politicians are already condemning Ross' actions and calling for greater accountability is a good sign, I think. 
It shows that people care about justice and want to make sure law enforcement agencies are held accountable. And, let's be real, if Becca did have connections to activist groups, that's not necessarily a bad thing - it just means she's passionate about making a difference! 
. It's like they're trying to shift attention away from Ross' actions and onto someone else entirely.
, but it does feel like a whole lot of smoke is being blown into this investigation to distract from the real issue: what really happened with Ross and Renee. We need some transparency here, you know? 
The whole thing just reeks of 'what was she thinking?' rather than 'what did they do?' 
.
, I'm low-key shocked by the direction of this investigation 
, they're not even questioning if Ross made a mistake during that tragic event 
... instead, they're digging deep into Becca's activist connections 
? Like what? Were she running an underground spy ring or something 
? They've got a 90% clearance rate for cases involving extremist groups 
. The Justice Department is basically doing separate probes into other politicians 
... what's going on here?
to me 
, anyone got time for that? 
BUT NOW WE'RE FOCUSED ON BECCA GOOD'S CONNECTIONS TO ACTIVIST GROUPS? 
AND WHY ARE WE SEEING SO MUCH POLITICAL POSTURING FROM PEOPLE LIKE WALZ AND FREY? 
. If someone's partner did try to hinder him, that's a separate issue 
. but like itsnt all about becca or rossthis time... apparently investigators r more concerned w/ beccas ties to activist groups lol. didnt they no the real quesiton is if ross was even justified in killin her in teh 1st place? 
why are they focusing on her activism stuff instead of looking at whether she might've helped her partner avoid getting shot in the first place? 
is this just another case of "who knew" about who was talkin' smack about fed officers online? 
I get that people want answers, but do we really need all this drama? Can't we just focus on finding a way to prevent situations like this from happening in the first place?
I mean, sure, politicians want to make a statement but can't they just let law enforcement do their job for once? 
... I think we need to make sure that our law enforcement agencies are investigating everything fairly, without any bias or agenda. It's disturbing to hear that the investigation is mostly focused on Becca Good's connections to activist groups instead of looking into whether she might have obstructed Ross during the shooting. What if her partner didn't do anything wrong? Doesn't everyone deserve a fair trial?
. We need transparency and fairness, especially when it comes to sensitive issues like this.
