Ackman Confirms $10,000 Donation as GoFundMe Reviews Fundraiser for ICE Agent in Minneapolis Shooting

GoFundMe says its trust and safety team is assessing campaigns tied to the case for compliance with platform rules.

Overview

  • Bill Ackman confirmed on X that he contributed $10,000 to a GoFundMe supporting ICE agent Jonathan Ross and said he tried to donate to Renee Good’s family fund after it had closed.
  • The GoFundMe for Ross, organized by Clyde Emmons, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and is under review, with the organizer revising language that initially referenced legal defense; Ross has not been charged.
  • A separate GoFundMe for Good’s family has been closed after raising more than $1.5 million, with organizers saying the money will be placed in a trust.
  • The FBI is leading the investigation into the January 7 shooting and has restricted state access to evidence, prompting Minnesota prosecutors to conduct a parallel evidence-gathering effort.
  • Trump administration officials and DHS describe the shooting as self-defense, while Minneapolis leaders point to video to dispute that account as protests continue in multiple cities.
