BREAKING: A federal immigration agent involved in the fatal shooting of Renee Good, 37, in Minneapolis this week had a troubling history, including a dragging incident during an immigration operation last year. New reports confirm that the agent, identified as Jonathan Ross, was dragged approximately 100 yards by a different driver and required 20 stitches for a severe arm injury.
The shooting incident occurred on January 7, 2026, as Good was in her vehicle. Ross claims he feared for his life during the encounter, which has spurred significant backlash against the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement tactics. Witnesses indicate Good was confused by conflicting orders from ICE agents, attempting to drive away when Ross shot her. The FBI is now investigating the deadly use of force.
At a press conference, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized Ross’s experience, stating he had previously been dragged by a car during a June operation. Officials have rallied behind Ross, describing him as a highly trained law enforcement professional who acted in self-defense. However, local authorities and community advocates vehemently disagree, labeling federal accounts as “propaganda.”
The incident has reignited debates over police accountability, especially regarding the use of deadly force by ICE agents. Advocates are calling for criminal charges against Ross, demanding justice for Good, an American citizen. Footage of the shooting has surfaced online, showing the moments leading up to the tragic event.
Ross’s past includes a deployment to Iraq with the Indiana National Guard and years of service with the Border Patrol, where he specialized in intelligence. His recent role with ICE involves targeting high-value fugitives, including the apprehension of individuals like Roberto Carlos Muñoz, who had been arrested shortly before the shooting of Good. Muñoz was convicted last month of assaulting a federal officer.
Following the shooting, Minnesota law enforcement has faced challenges in obtaining evidence from federal agencies, complicating their investigation. The situation remains tense as community protests grow in response to the incident. Advocates are emphasizing the need for systemic reforms and accountability.
As developments continue, the focus remains on the implications of ICE’s actions and the broader conversation about law enforcement practices in the United States. The community is calling for immediate action and transparency in the investigation into Good’s death. Stay tuned for updates as this urgent story unfolds.
