The FBI is investigating whether the suspect in a deadly shooting at an ICE facility had connections to political activist groups.
The inquiry into Renee Good's possible ties is notably broad, according to sources. This has alarmed former Justice Department officials.
They warn the investigation risks treating certain forms of political protest as criminal activity. Critics say this could have a chilling effect on free speech.
The shooting occurred earlier this month, leaving one officer dead. The FBI has not publicly detailed the scope of its ongoing investigation.
