DHS Confirms Internal Bleeding Injury to ICE Agent in Minneapolis Shooting

Federal officials say the injury underscores their self-defense account.

Overview

  • The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that ICE agent Jonathan Ross sustained internal bleeding to the torso during the Jan. 7 encounter in Minneapolis, according to officials briefed by CBS News.
  • Video from the scene shows Ross at the front of Renee Good’s vehicle before he fired, and authorities say there was physical contact between the agent and the car.
  • U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino said Ross has received multiple threats and is recovering in a secure location.
  • The FBI is leading the case exclusively and has excluded Minnesota state investigators, while Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche says there is currently no basis for a criminal civil-rights probe.
  • Online fundraisers for Ross and for Good’s family have drawn substantial donations, with the family’s fund surpassing $1 million, according to TMZ.
