After Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti were shot dead by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, The Intercept immediately went to work to gain access to the body camera footage from the officers on the scene to find out exactly what happened.

Now, more than three months later, the Department of Homeland Security is still refusing to release this key evidence — and our legal team was just notified by DHS that they are not complying with our Freedom of Information Act request to release the footage.

But we’re not done fighting. Not by a long shot.

The Intercept’s legal team has already appealed the denial of our FOIA request and is prepared to do whatever it takes to force the Trump administration to obey the law. This could be a long and costly legal fight, however, and we’re counting on your help.

Will you donate $5 to help force the Trump administration to comply with FOIA and release the body camera footage from Alex Pretti’s and Renee Nicole Good’s shootings?

At least 48 people have died in ICE custody since Donald Trump returned to office — a record level for the agency. And that’s not counting Good, Pretti, and others killed on the streets by federal immigration agents.

Now, Republicans in Congress are on the verge of passing a $70 billion increase for immigration enforcement with no meaningful reforms or restrictions on ICE’s abuses of power.

That’s why it’s critical that we keep the pressure on ICE and demand the documents and footage needed to hold the people responsible for the killings accountable.

But with the administration denying our request and attempting to cover up the truth, we’re taking legal action.

The Intercept will not back down — and with the support of Intercept readers like you, we have the legal firepower to ensure that agencies actually hand over the footage and documents the public is entitled to see.
