The father of Renee Good spoke publicly about his daughter’s death and the ongoing investigation into the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during an emotional interview with CNN, urging compassion for all involved and repeatedly stating that he does not blame anyone for what happened.

Timmy Macklin appeared on CNN with anchor Erin Burnett as questions continue surrounding the circumstances of Good’s death and the role of ICE agents during the encounter.

Prosecutors have said there are no criminal charges at this time, but an investigation remains ongoing into the actions of federal agents and the conduct of those involved.

During the interview, Burnett asked Macklin about reports that prosecutors were under pressure to examine the actions of both Good and her wife, Becca.

“Nothing about charges or anything that just an investigation into what happened in terms of the ICE agents actions, but they were, according to the prosecutors resigning today, pressuring them to investigate renee’s actions and Becca her wife’s actions. How do you feel about all that?” Burnett asked.

Macklin responded by emphasizing that he does not place blame on any individual, including the ICE agent involved in the incident.

“Well, you know, I’m not blaming anybody. I mean, it’s a hard situation all the way around. It’s hard for the, you know, for everybody involved,” Macklin said.

“I mean, the ICE agent, you know, at first I didn’t see the footage where, you know, he was actually, you know, he was actually been ran [over].”

Macklin said that when he first viewed the video, his understanding of the encounter was limited.

“I mean, I seen the bump of the car hitting, you know, hitting his legs, and so in a, you know, in a flash like that. It’s hard to say how you would react,” he said.

He added that his perspective shifted as he learned more about the agent’s background.

“From my understanding that he had been through that before, maybe dragged or something, and so, you know, like I said, it’s just, it’s just a hard situation for everybody,” Macklin said.

Macklin also spoke about Good’s wife, Becca, describing her positively and reiterating his refusal to assign blame.

“You know, Becca, you know, it’s, she’s a great person as well,” he said.

“I mean, you know, I don’t have any many enemies. I love everybody.”

Throughout the interview, Macklin repeatedly referenced his Christian faith, saying it has shaped how he views the tragedy.

“And that’s what the Bible tells us love our neighbors as we love ourselves,” he said.

“But you know, I think there’s some bad choices, and the Word says, For the wrath of God will come upon the children disobedience.”

Macklin made clear that, in his view, the situation was not the result of malicious intent.

“And you know, it’s, it’s, I don’t blame us. I don’t blame Rebecca, I don’t blame Renee,” he said.

“I just, you know, I just wish that you know, if we’re walking the Spirit of God, I don’t think she would have been there. That’s where I look at it.”
