Overview
- CBS reported that two U.S. officials said ICE officer Jonathan Ross suffered internal bleeding to his torso after shooting Renee Nicole Good, posting the claim first on X and then in a bylined article.
- Internal emails described by The Guardian show staff questioned the thin sourcing and asked for treatment details, as a senior vice president noted the term “internal bleeding” is broad and that video shows Ross walking away.
- Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss showed strong interest and pushed the story through despite objections, while a CBS spokesperson said the report met the network’s editorial standards.
- Other outlets echoed the injury claim and DHS confirmation was cited, yet a New York Times review found no indication Ross was run over and officials said he was released from a hospital the same day.
- The FBI continues to lead the criminal investigation as Minnesota officials say they were blocked from evidence access, and scrutiny of Weiss’s leadership has grown following her halt of a 60 Minutes CECOT segment and her on-set greeting with President Donald Trump.
