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

GoFundMe lists only the Good family campaign as verified.

Overview

  • Donations to a GoFundMe supporting ICE agent Jonathan Ross surpassed $370,000 as the platform’s Trust & Safety team reviews related campaigns for compliance and verification.
  • Bill Ackman said he contributed $10,000 to a Ross fundraiser and noted he intended to give to Renee Good’s family, whose GoFundMe paused after raising more than $1.5 million.
  • GoFundMe said it is gathering information from organizers and reiterated its policy barring legal‑defense fundraisers if someone is formally charged with a violent crime; Ross has not been charged.
  • Additional campaigns for Ross have appeared on GiveSendGo, where the platform’s leader said funds would be released to the agent, while GoFundMe warned that multiple Ross campaigns remain unverified.
  • The FBI is leading the federal investigation into Good’s killing as Minnesota officials pursue a parallel criminal inquiry after being denied access to key evidence, and protests continue in multiple cities.
