Overview

  • Local media and court records identify the shooter as Jonathan Ross, an ICE deportation officer tied to a 2025 case in which he was dragged and injured during an arrest attempt.
  • Records obtained by the Associated Press describe Ross as an Iraq War veteran with nearly two decades in federal law enforcement and selection for ICE’s Special Response Team.
  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Vice President J.D. Vance defend the shooting as self-defense, with Noem labeling Good’s actions as “domestic terrorism,” a characterization rejected by Minneapolis leaders.
  • Bystander videos and independent analyses challenge the claim that Good tried to ram officers, and no criminal charges against the agent have been announced.
  • The FBI is leading the investigation and the Minnesota BCA has withdrawn after being denied access, as protests continue and federal agencies expand their presence in the Twin Cities.
