ICE Agent Shoots Woman in Minneapolis
An ICE agent named Jonathan Ross shot a woman named Renee Good in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026.
The agent was injured and had to go to the hospital.
Some people, like Joe Rogan and Senator Rand Paul, think the shooting was not right and that the officer should be punished.
But the Trump administration and ICE say the officer was just defending himself because the woman was acting disorderly and hit him with her car.
The officer is now recovering from his injuries, but his whereabouts are not known.
Many people are arguing about whether the shooting was justified or not.
A week later, another man was shot in the leg during a federal immigration operation in the same area.
People are also debating whether ICE should be abolished, with a recent poll showing that 46% of people support this idea.
ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026.
Ross suffered internal bleeding and was hospitalized but has since been released.
The Trump administration and ICE defend Ross's actions as self-defense, claiming Good was disorderly and ran over him with her vehicle.
Critics, including Joe Rogan, Senator Rand Paul, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, argue the shooting was unjustified and that Ross should face legal action.
Ross, a 10-year ICE veteran, has not returned to work and is recovering in an undisclosed location due to threats against his life.
