Renee Good’s family says Trump hasn’t contacted them after her death

The family of Renee Good, an unarmed US citizen killed by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis last month, has spoken out against President Donald Trump's administration, stating that neither the President nor anyone in his administration has contacted them since her death. This development has sparked criticism of Trump's handling of immigration policy and his administration's response to the incident.

According to Brent Ganger, Good's brother, the family has hired their own investigators to ensure transparency and accountability in the case. "There's a reason that we hired our own investigators – to make sure that the truth is transparent and available, to make sure that this is really taken seriously, and to make sure that we know what occurred," Ganger told NBC News.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is facing criticism on another front, as it has charged 30 more people in connection with a protest at Cities Church in St Paul, Minnesota, against Trump's immigration surge. The expanded indictment targets protesters who rallied against the administration's immigration policies.

In other news, the Trump administration has ordered federal agencies to stop using technology from AI developer Anthropic, citing concerns over the company's refusal to grant the Pentagon unfettered access to its AI tools. Trump stated that Anthropic's tools will be phased out of all government work over the next six months.

This move has been seen as a continuation of the administration's push for control over AI development and use. Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, has expressed concerns that the company's technology could be used in mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.

The Trump administration's handling of Venezuela's political crisis has also come under scrutiny. The US has been involved in efforts to oust President Nicolas Maduro, and Trump has been a vocal supporter of the opposition. However, the situation remains complex, with multiple factions vying for power.

In a recent debate, ex-Venezuelan opposition envoy Vanessa Neumann discussed the US role in regime change efforts, stating that the goal is to support democracy and the Venezuelan people. However, others have raised concerns about the US's motives, citing the country's history of intervention in Latin America.

In Australia, the Victorian Liberal party is facing a different kind of challenge, as it struggles to ward off the rising threat of One Nation. The party's leader, Jess Wilson, is under pressure to strike a preference or minority government deal with Pauline Hanson's One Nation party. The situation highlights the complexities of coalition politics and the challenges of navigating competing interests.

As the Trump administration continues to face criticism on multiple fronts, it remains to be seen how these developments will impact the President's approval ratings and the 2024 election. One thing is clear, however: the President's handling of immigration, AI policy, and foreign affairs will be closely watched in the coming months.
