Overview
- Records obtained by the Associated Press identify the shooter as Jonathan Ross, a veteran ICE agent previously injured during a June arrest in Minnesota.
- Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says the FBI and Justice Department will not share evidence, effectively sidelining a state-led review as Governor Tim Walz objects.
- Witness videos show an agent firing at close range through the windshield as the SUV began moving, with no clear evidence the vehicle struck the officer.
- Federal leaders, including President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, call the shooting self-defense, while Minneapolis officials denounce the use of lethal force and protesters demand ICE leave the city.
- Scrutiny intensified after a separate ICE-involved shooting in Portland left two people wounded, with the FBI and Oregon authorities investigating that incident.
