OPPORTUNISTIC: Family Hires George Floyd Lawyers After ICE Shooting, Race-Baiting Playbook Returns

Just one week after a fatal shooting involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Minnesota, the family of Renee Good has hired Romanucci & Blandin—the same Chicago law firm that previously represented George Floyd's family in their civil lawsuit against Minneapolis police.

The timing couldn't be more convenient for the left's anti-law enforcement agenda. With President Trump's mass deportation operations ramping up nationwide, suddenly we have another "incident" being packaged for maximum media outrage by the same lawyers who helped turn the Floyd case into a billion-dollar racial grievance industry.

Romanucci & Blandin announced their representation on Wednesday, exactly one week after the shooting occurred. The firm previously secured a $27 million settlement for Floyd's family—money that came straight from Minneapolis taxpayers, not the officers involved.

The Usual Suspects

This is the same playbook we've seen before, Patriots. Take a law enforcement incident, hire high-profile lawyers with a track record of maximizing publicity, and turn it into a national cause célèbre designed to undermine legitimate law enforcement operations.

The timing is no coincidence. As ICE agents work to fulfill President Trump's promise to remove dangerous criminals and illegal aliens from our communities, the radical left is desperate to find cases they can weaponize to halt these crucial operations.

"They're not interested in justice—they're interested in headlines and paydays," said one law enforcement source familiar with these tactics.

The same lawyers who helped fuel the riots and "defund the police" movement are now positioning themselves to attack ICE operations that are finally putting American citizens' safety first after four years of open borders chaos.

While the details of the Good shooting are still under investigation, one thing is crystal clear: the professional grievance industry is already mobilizing to turn this incident into another weapon against law enforcement doing their jobs.

Will Americans fall for the same manufactured outrage playbook again, or have we learned to see through these calculated attempts to undermine public safety?

Same playbook every single time! They see dollar signs before they even know the facts of what happened.

Exactly. It's become a cottage industry at this point.

I feel for any family that loses someone, but hiring these specific lawyers tells you everything you need to know about their real intentions.

Agreed. There are plenty of good attorneys out there who actually care about justice, not headlines.

Why are we not talking about WHY ICE was there in the first place? If you're here illegally and running from law enforcement, there are consequences.

Predictable as sunrise. These lawyers smell opportunity and the family gets used as pawns in the political game.

The media will run with this for weeks while completely ignoring the border crisis that created this situation in the first place. Mark my words.

Here we go again with the race card. Can we please wait for the investigation to be completed before jumping to conclusions?
