ICE Agent Jonathan Ross Transferred After Killing Renee Good, Faces Delayed FBI Probe

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis has been transferred to a new location to continue his duties, despite an ongoing FBI investigation into the incident.

Jonathan Ross, the agent involved, was only placed on three days of administrative leave after shooting Good multiple times—including in the arm, head, and chest—on June 27, 2023. Good died in her car shortly after the shooting. Moments before her death, Ross allegedly called her a “fucking bitch.”

According to a report by PunchUp, The Daily Beast’s Substack, Ross has resumed both administrative and investigative roles within ICE, facing virtually no consequences for the killing of an unarmed woman in broad daylight.

Why Was the Agent Transferred Instead of Fired?

Department of Homeland Security officials stated that ICE’s internal affairs cannot proceed with its own investigation until the FBI’s probe concludes. This delay could allow Ross to evade accountability for an extended period.

Controversies Surrounding the FBI Investigation

The FBI’s investigation into Ross has been plagued by delays and controversial decisions:

• Six senior Justice Department officials resigned in January 2024 over the department’s handling of the case.
• An FBI supervisor in the Minneapolis field office was reportedly pressured to discontinue a civil rights probe into Ross.
• Despite claims that the investigation is ongoing, the only concrete outcome has been Ross’s return to work.

As of now, no further updates on the FBI’s investigation have been released, leaving Good’s family and advocates questioning the fairness of the process.
