Locke told a congressional forum on Tuesday that Judd’s death on January 7 “in such a violent and unnecessary manner was complicated by feelings of disbelief, distress and desperation for change.” “In the past few weeks, our family has taken some solace in the belief that perhaps Ney’s death will bring about change in our country.”

He added: “And that did not happen.”

Brent praised his sister, saying, “She has a way of showing up in the world that makes you think things are going to be okay, not because she ignored the difficulties, but because she chose optimism anyway.”

He added: “She chose to search for what is good, what is possible, and what is worthy of love.”

Federal immigration agents have been involved in more than a dozen shooting incidents, some fatal, since President Donald Trump began his second term, sparking public outrage over the use of force by officers deployed as part of his crackdown on immigration.

Families of the victims and residents of Minneapolis, where a fatal shooting occurred last month, have demanded more transparency and accountability from the government, which has tried to distance local and state law enforcement from investigations into the deaths.

This issue became a driving factor behind the partial government shutdown this week. Democrats have refused to approve a government funding deal for a handful of agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, without reforms to U.S. Immigration, Customs Enforcement and Border Protection, including requiring agents to wear body cameras, refrain from obscuring their faces and obtain judicial warrants for arrest. Lawmakers on Tuesday approved a short-term measure to fund DHS only through February 13, while debate on those proposals continues.
