Updated (93 articles)

ICE Agent Jonathan Ross Shot and Killed Renee Good in Minneapolis On January 5, 2026, ICE officer Jonathan Ross fired on 37‑year‑old mother Renee Good during a traffic stop in Minneapolis, resulting in her death [1][2][3][4][5]. DHS claims Good attempted to weaponize her SUV, describing it as a “two‑ton missile” that threatened the officer [1][4]. Video released by local officials shows the vehicle moving away as Ross opened fire, fueling disputes over the self‑defense justification [2][3]. Good’s family and attorney have demanded transparency and accountability, labeling the shooting a misuse of force [2][5].

Federal Government Deployed Thousands of Agents and Threatened Troops President Trump ordered the deployment of more than 2,000 federal officers to Minnesota, later reported as 3,000 ICE agents on the ground [2][5]. Approximately 1,500 active‑duty troops were placed on standby for possible deployment amid escalating protests [3]. Trump publicly floated invoking the Insurrection Act to override state authority and enforce the immigration sweep [3][5]. The administration frames the operation as a necessary response to “out‑of‑control” immigration and alleged vehicular attacks on officers [4].

Local Courts and Federal Probes Challenge Enforcement Tactics A federal judge barred agents from arresting or pepper‑spraying peaceful demonstrators, limiting crowd‑control measures in Minneapolis [3]. The FBI opened an investigation into Good’s shooting, while local officials claim they have been denied access to key evidence [3]. The Justice Department launched a criminal probe into Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly impeding federal immigration actions [3]. DHS also reported a second Minneapolis shooting involving a leg‑injury, which the agency described as a legitimate response to an attack with a shovel [3].

Public Reaction Includes Protests, Polls, and Legal Challenges The killing sparked large‑scale protests, with demonstrators confronting masked ICE agents and documenting alleged authoritarian tactics [5][1]. A CNN/SSRS poll found a majority of Americans view the use of force against Good as inappropriate and express growing unease with ICE’s methods [5]. The ACLU of Minnesota filed a lawsuit alleging civil‑rights violations tied to ICE operations, citing detentions and aggressive enforcement actions [5]. Rittenhouse’s interview linked his media treatment to Ross’s, highlighting perceived partisan narratives surrounding the incident [1].
