ICE officer who shot Minnesota protester reassigned amid stalled investigation

  • ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who fatally shot a Minnesota protester named Renee Good in January, has been reassigned to a different state and continues to work for the federal government.
  • Ross was captured on camera firing multiple shots through Good's vehicle windshield as she attempted to leave the area on January 7 in Minneapolis.
  • The agent's internal accountability process is reportedly stalled because an FBI investigation into the incident has not concluded.
  • Reports indicated that the Trump administration allegedly opened and then terminated a civil rights investigation into Ross's actions, though the FBI stated such decisions were not made by them.
  • Federal officials, including Donald Trump, defended the shooting as self-defense, claiming Good was attempting an act of "domestic terrorism," which sparked widespread protests across the U.S.
