FBI agent who investigated Renee Good’s death resigns

The FBI agent who initiated an investigation into a federal immigration officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good has resigned from her role at the agency, according to multiple reports.

The agent, Tracee Mergen, worked in the Minneapolis Field Office as the acting supervisor of the Public Corruption Squad. She resigned last week after FBI leadership pressured her to discontinue the investigation into the Minneapolis fatal shooting, according to The New York Times.

The FBI has been leading its own investigation into the ICE officer who shot the 37-year-old mother, in an inquiry separate from that of local, Minnesota prosecutors.

“It is FBI policy not to comment on personnel matters,” the FBI’s Minneapolis field office told the Washington Examiner, in response to an inquiry about Mergen’s resignation.
