Speaking on Capitol Hill, the brothers of Renee Good urged Congress to restrain President Trump’s crackdown on immigration. Brent and Luke Ganger testified at a hearing held by congressional Democrats Tuesday on the violent use of force by federal immigration agents deployed to cities across the U.S. Brent Ganger read from his eulogy to his sister, saying Good was “unapologetically hopeful.”
This is Luke Ganger addressing lawmakers yesterday.

Luke Ganger: “The completely surreal scenes taking place on the streets of Minneapolis are beyond explanation. This is not just a bad day or a rough week or isolated incidents. These encounters with federal agents are changing the community and changing many lives, including ours, forever.”

Not a single Republican lawmaker showed up to the hearing. Among others who testified at the forum Tuesday were Aliya Rahman, who was violently dragged out of her car by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis; Martin Daniel Rascon, who was shot at by border agents in California while driving with his family; and Marimar Martinez, who was shot five times by a federal immigration agent in Chicago last year. This is Martinez.

Marimar Martinez: “At the hospital, I remember seeing multiple agents standing around watching me be treated for my wounds. My arms, legs and chest were all wrapped in bandages. I had seven bullet holes in my body.”

Democratic Congressmember Robert Garcia then displayed texts by a Border Patrol agent after he shot Martinez.

Rep. Robert Garcia: “The agent linked an article about your shooting and texted, 'Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes. … I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys. Oh well, it is what it is. Shit happens.'”
