On January 7, 2026, ICE agents conducting an enforcement operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota shot and killed Renée Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen. Jonathan Ross has been identified by federal officials as the ICE officer who fired the fatal shots.
ICE and DHS officials have claimed the shooting was an act of self-defense, alleging that Goode used or attempted to use her vehicle as a weapon. Eyewitness accounts, video evidence, and statements from local officials have challenged that narrative, leading to widespread public condemnation and demands for an independent investigation.
The incident has become a focal point in ongoing criticism of ICE’s interior operations, cross-jurisdictional deployments, and rules governing use of force.
Operational Context
Ross's involvement in a fatal use-of-force incident outside his assigned field office highlights ICE’s practice of deploying armed agents across state lines for interior enforcement actions. Such operations have increasingly drawn concern for their militarized tactics, lack of transparency, and limited local oversight.
