Sources for CNN say the FBI briefly opened a civil rights investigation into Jonathan Ross, the officer who shot and killed Renee Good earlier this month.

MINNEAPOLIS — The agent who opened the civil rights investigation into the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent has resigned from the FBI, sources tell CNN and the New York Times.

Good was shot and killed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross on the morning of Jan. 7. The Department of Homeland Security claims Good was using her vehicle as a weapon and trying to harm Ross, but video appears to show Ross stepping in front of her vehicle moments before she attempted to drive away. 

The agent initially was working with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension when the shooting happened and opened a civil rights investigation, CNN reports. She was then ordered to reclassify it as an investigation into an assault on the officer and the FBI blocked the Minnesota BCA from the investigation. 

Deputy Attorney General for the Department of Justice, Todd Blanche, appeared on Fox News Sunday, saying the shooting did not warrant a federal investigation.

Multiple Minnesota federal prosecutors also resigned over the DOJ’s investigation into Good’s death, including Joe Thompson, the lead prosecutor in the high-profile Feeding Our Future fraud case.

Good’s death has sparked protests across Minnesota and the country against ICE and Border Patrol operations in the Twin Cities. On Friday, a general strike was held and tens of thousands protested in downtown Minneapolis. Minnesota leaders are suing to try and end Operation Metro Surge.Â
