Overview
- A 47-second clip recorded by ICE agent Jonathan Ross and authenticated by DHS shows moments before the shots, including a calm exchange, followed by gunfire and the SUV crashing.
- Human Rights Watch labeled the death an unjustified killing, citing video analysis that it does not show a reasonable fear of death and noting policies that restrict firing at moving vehicles.
- Minneapolis leaders rejected the self-defense account, and witnesses said agents blocked a doctor from rendering aid and impeded ambulance access before medical crews arrived.
- The FBI is investigating the shooting, authorities said Ross was injured and treated, and senior federal officials including President Trump and Vice President JD Vance defended the agent.
- ICE’s large Minnesota operation, reported at roughly 2,000 agents, is continuing as coordinated “ICE Out For Good” protests spread nationwide and lawmakers discuss oversight, funding limits, and efforts to impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
