ICE Agent's Father Defends Son Amid Minneapolis Shooting Uproar, Says Charges Unlikely
The father of ICE agent Jonathan Ross claims his son will not face charges for shooting Renee Good during a traffic stop in Minneapolis.
A heated debate has erupted following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, 37, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross during a traffic stop in Minneapolis. According to Ross' father, Ed Ross, his son will not face charges in the incident, which has sparked controversy.
The shooting occurred on Wednesday on a residential street in south Minneapolis, close to East 34th Street and Portland Avenue. While the Trump administration has defended Ross, citing claims that Good attempted to run over an officer, others have contested this assertion. Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar stated on X that there was no attempt to harm the officer.
Ed Ross, in an interview with the Daily Mail, defended his son's actions, saying that Good 'hit' him and that another officer's arm was in the car. 'You would never find a nicer, kinder person,' Ross praised his son, describing him as a 'committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband.'
Ross, 43, has a military background, having served in the Indiana Army National Guard from 2002 to 2008, including a deployment to Iraq from 2004 to 2005. He received several honors for his service, including the Army Commendation Medal and the Iraq Campaign Medal.
The incident has reignited debate about immigration enforcement actions under the Trump administration. As the investigation unfolds, many are left wondering what really happened during the traffic stop that resulted in Good's tragic death.
