Federal authorities have released new details about the fatal Minneapolis shooting involving an ICE agent, details that significantly strengthen the case that the officer acted in self-defense during a rapidly unfolding and dangerous encounter.
According to federal officials, the ICE agent who fired the fatal shot—identified as Jonathan Ross—suffered internal bleeding to his torso after being struck by a vehicle driven by Renee Good. The injury, which was confirmed by the Department of Homeland Security, directly supports claims that Ross was physically hit before he discharged his weapon.
Sources familiar with Ross’s medical condition told reporters that the injury occurred when Good’s SUV made contact with him during the confrontation. Ross is a decade-long law enforcement veteran, and DHS confirmed the internal injury while declining to disclose further medical specifics, citing standard privacy protections for personnel.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem addressed the incident shortly after it occurred, confirming that Ross was transported to a local hospital immediately following the January 7 shooting. He was treated and released the same day. At the time, Noem emphasized that the officer had been struck by the vehicle and was acting under imminent threat. “The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released,” Noem said, adding that Ross “acted to protect himself and his fellow agents.”
