A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer involved in a fatal shooting during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis has reportedly suffered internal injuries, according to multiple media reports citing federal officials. CBS News reported that “two U.S. officials” said the officer, Jonathan Ross, “suffered internal bleeding to the torso” following the January 7 incident that resulted in the death of a woman identified as Renee Good.
“The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition,” CBS News wrote in a post on X.
The shooting occurred during what federal authorities described as targeted immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis. According to reporting from NBC News, ICE agents encountered resistance while carrying out those operations, as “a group of people began trying to block ICE agents.” NBC News further reported that during the confrontation, a woman allegedly used her vehicle to attack the agents.
Breitbart News correspondent AWR Hawkins reported on January 7 that as ICE agents attempted to carry out their duties, “a group of people began trying to block ICE agents,” and that a woman later identified as Renee Good allegedly “weaponized her vehicle” in an effort to strike ICE officials. Federal authorities have described the incident as unfolding amid chaotic conditions, with agents attempting to move their vehicle while facing interference from multiple individuals.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provided additional details in a statement posted on X, stating that ICE officers were obstructed while conducting their operation. “Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism,” Homeland Security wrote.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem later explained that the ICE agents were “out on a enforcement action” when their vehicle became stuck in the snow. According to Noem, the situation escalated when a woman attempted to use her vehicle against the agents. “A woman attacked them, and those surrounding them, and attempted to run them over, and ram them with her vehicle,” Noem said. She added that an ICE agent “acted quickly, and defensively shot to protect himself and the people around him.”
The disclosure that the officer sustained internal bleeding has added further detail to an incident that has drawn national attention amid broader debates over immigration enforcement and public safety. Federal officials have emphasized that the ICE agents involved were conducting targeted operations, a routine component of immigration enforcement, when they encountered resistance that authorities say turned violent.
Vice President JD Vance responded publicly after reports emerged regarding the officer’s injuries, addressing public commentary surrounding the case. “While much of left has lied about this case, it turns out ramming a law enforcement officer with a car causes injuries,” Vance wrote in a post on X. “Who knew!”
The investigation into the shooting remains ongoing. Federal authorities have not announced any changes to ICE enforcement procedures as a result of the incident, and no additional details have been released regarding potential charges or findings beyond the information already disclosed by officials. The case continues to be examined as part of standard reviews involving the use of force by federal law enforcement officers during official operations.
