ICE Agent’s Home Raided Following Shooting Incident
This week, federal agents descended on the home of an ICE agent involved in a shooting that resulted in a woman’s death in Minneapolis. Reports suggest that the agent’s family has gone into hiding, leaving their home empty.
A special response team arrived at Jonathan Ross’ suburban Minneapolis residence on Friday morning. According to reports, masked police officers removed various items, including plastic boxes and computer equipment, forming a protective perimeter around their vehicle as it left the garage.
Neighbors noted that they saw Ross’ wife outside their home on Wednesday afternoon, just hours after the incident. However, the house has since been unoccupied.
In an interview, Ross’ father expressed support for his son, claiming, “She hit him,” referring to the incident. He added that a police officer had also been in danger during the events and believed Ross should not face any charges.
“You couldn’t find a nicer guy,” Ross’ father insisted. He described his son as a devoted Christian, a great father, and husband.
According to court documents, Ross was named as the ICE deportation officer who fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good. At 43 years old, he had served in Iraq with the Indiana National Guard before joining the Border Patrol in 2007. He later transitioned to his role with ICE in Minnesota in 2015 and had experience as a firearms instructor and SWAT member.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem mentioned that Ross had previously suffered injuries after being dragged by a vehicle during an arrest attempt in June. The Trump administration defended his actions, with Noem labeling Good’s conduct as “domestic terrorism,” while Vice President J.D. Vance expressed gratitude for Ross’ service.
However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey raised doubts about the self-defense claim, describing it as “bullshit.” Meanwhile, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison noted that the FBI is preventing local investigators from accessing crucial evidence related to the case.
As of now, Ross’ location remains unclear, and the Department of Homeland Security has chosen not to confirm his identity, citing safety concerns for him and his family.
