  • The credibility of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been severely undermined following the fatal shooting of Renee Good, prompting calls for accountability from California lawmakers. Good's death has raised significant concerns about the agency's transparency and operational practices.

Reports of inadequate medical care for detainees and testimonies from citizens about wrongful detentions further complicate the narrative, indicating systemic issues within the agency that demand immediate attention.
