Tensions in Minneapolis have intensified following the fatal shooting of Renee Good during an ICE enforcement encounter on January 7. New reporting says ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who fired the shot, also suffered injuries during the incident, including internal bleeding, according to multiple U.S. officials cited by national media. The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that the agent was hurt, though further details have not been released.
The confrontation happened on a residential street as officers ordered Good to exit her vehicle, a Honda Pilot. Authorities say she appeared to attempt to drive away, and video footage has been described as showing contact between the agent and the vehicle. Federal officials maintain Ross acted in self-defense, while the FBI continues reviewing the case. Minnesota state authorities have been excluded from the federal investigation, according to comments from Justice Department leadership.
In the aftermath, fundraising efforts have surged on both sides. A GoFundMe connected to Ross has reportedly raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, while a campaign supporting Good’s wife and son has surpassed $1 million. Reports have also raised questions about whether federal ethics rules could affect an agent’s ability to accept donations.
Protests have continued in Minneapolis, with tensions rising as federal operations expand. DHS has reported another recent incident in which a federal officer fired at a person’s leg during an arrest after an alleged assault. A federal judge has ordered the Justice Department to respond to Minnesota’s request for a restraining order, as the city faces ongoing unrest and public scrutiny.
