Tensions in Minneapolis are soaring after Renee Good was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross on January 7 — and now new reports reveal the agent himself suffered internal bleeding during the incident.
Tragic confrontation According to several unnamed U.S. officials, Ross sustained injuries to his torso, though the severity of the bleeding has not been disclosed. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed he was hurt, CBS News reports.
The deadly encounter unfolded on a residential Minneapolis street when Good, behind the wheel of her Honda Pilot, appeared to try to drive away as ICE officers ordered her to exit the vehicle.
Ross fired at Good, striking her in the head. Video footage appears to show physical contact between Ross and the SUV. The Trump administration maintains Ross acted in self‑defense.
“There is currently no basis for a criminal civil rights investigation,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News Digital, noting that the FBI is handling the case exclusively, without involvement from Minnesota state authorities.
Another shooting In the aftermath, GoFundMe campaigns have surged for both sides. Ross’s fundraiser has collected more than $700,000, while a campaign for Good’s wife and son has exceeded $1 million. It remains unclear whether Ross can legally accept the donations, as federal employees are prohibited from receiving extra compensation for their work, according to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.
Meanwhile, protests in Minneapolis have continued. Federal agents have clashed with demonstrators as ICE intensifies enforcement efforts, including pulling people from vehicles and confronting angry bystanders.
On Wednesday, Minneapolis saw yet another shooting when a federal officer fired at a person’s leg after being attacked during an arrest, the Department of Homeland Security said.
“The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer,” DHS stated.
“What we need most of all right now is a pause. The temperature needs to be lowered,” Minnesota Assistant Attorney General Brian Carter said during a hearing on the state’s lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez said the killing of Renee Good would remain “on the front burner,” giving the Justice Department until Monday to respond to Minnesota’s request for a restraining order. “It is simply recognition that these are grave and important matters,” she added.
Mayor Jacob Frey condemned the federal enforcement actions as discriminatory: “What we see right now is discrimination taking place only on the basis of race: Are you Latino or are you Somali? And then it is indiscriminate thereafter. In other words, they are pulling people off the streets. They have pulled U.S. citizens off the streets and you don’t need to take my word for it at this point. This has been very well documented.”
As the investigation continues, Minneapolis remains on edge, with the fatal ICE encounter and intensifying protests dominating headlines.
