A veteran Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot Minneapolis protester Renee Nicole Good was treated at a hospital for internal bleeding after she struck him with her vehicle during the encounter, a Department of Homeland Security official told The Post.
The agent, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding in his torso, according to the official. The DHS official did not provide details on the severity of the injury, but said Ross was taken to a hospital after the incident and released later the same day. Video from the aftermath shows Ross walking away from the scene.
CBS News earlier reported the injury details, citing two U.S. officials familiar with Ross’ medical condition.
“While much of left has lied about this case, it turns out ramming a law enforcement officer with a car causes injuries,” Vice President JD Vance wrote on X Wednesday. “Who knew!”
The Trump administration has defended Ross’ decision to open fire, arguing he had no alternative after Good used her SUV against him and hit him. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on the day of the shooting that Ross acted in line with his training.
“He went to the hospital, a doctor did treat him, he has been released, but he’s gonna spend some time with his family,” Noem said.
Authorities and witnesses have described a tense scene involving Good and her wife, Rebecca Good, as ICE officers approached the vehicle. According to footage captured on Ross’ phone, another officer ordered Renee Good to get out of the SUV, and Rebecca Good repeatedly urged her to leave the scene, shouting, “Drive, baby, drive, drive,” as the situation escalated.
The shooting has prompted protests and renewed criticism of ICE tactics, with Democratic lawmakers and activists arguing that deadly force was not necessary.
