Renee Good’s brothers joined other witnesses on Capitol Hill to tell lawmakers about encounters with federal agents and to press for answers and change. They described the family’s loss and urged members of Congress to help ensure accountability and prevent similar tragedies. The brothers spoke about concerns over the use of force by federal law enforcement, called for independent investigations, and asked for greater transparency about policies and operations.
At the hearing, lawmakers heard from multiple people affected by federal actions and probed officials and experts about training, oversight, and legal safeguards. Witnesses pushed for policy reforms ranging from clearer rules on use of force to better communication with local communities and families. The brothers framed their testimony as a plea for action — asking Congress to pursue measures that would increase oversight, require independent reviews of deadly incidents, and improve reporting so families receive timely information.
The testimony added personal testimony to a broader debate about how federal agents operate and how to balance law enforcement with protecting civil rights and public trust.
