Ken Jennings shared his views on current events after reports spread this week about the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis mother by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
In a series of posts on Bluesky on Wednesday, Jan. 7, the 51-year-old Jeopardy! host commented just hours after the death of Renee Nicole Good, 37, made headlines.
“It’s been a dark week, but I just saw someone reply to an ‘Abolish ICE’ post with a scoldy Bluesky ‘Uh, try abolish DHS’ and that joy will sustain me for a little while,” Jennings wrote.
In another post, he added: “The ‘prosecute the former regime at every level’ candidate has my vote in 2028.”
Jennings also told followers he had “been a-blockin’ and a-mutin’ all afternoon,” and shared advice for anyone feeling “anxious and sad about the state of the world.”
Good was killed Wednesday morning when an ICE agent — later identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune — shot into her vehicle.

On Thursday, Jan. 8, Jennings reposted a Bluesky message that read, “The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross.” The post included a link to the Minnesota Star Tribune, which reported that “Ross was dragged in a separate incident last year by a fleeing driver, according to court records.”
Good was seen in multiple videos reversing her Honda Pilot as ICE agents attempted to open her car door, then moving forward and to the right when the agent opened fire — first through the windshield and then twice through the vehicle’s open window — killing the mother of three from Colorado.
The shooting happened after a group of people allegedly began blocking officials during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. The area is home to the largest population of Somali immigrants in the United States.
Good’s ex-husband told The Associated Press that she had dropped off her 6-year-old son at school and was heading home with her current partner when they came upon a group of ICE agents.

He said she was not an activist and that he was not aware of her previously taking part in protests.
City Council member Jason Chavez described Good as a U.S. citizen who was “an observer … watching out for our immigrant neighbors,” ABC News reported.
In a post on X, the Department of Homeland Security accused Good of “weaponiz[ing] her vehicle” in an “act of domestic terrorism.”
Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance alleged that Good was “part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job.” He also called her death “a tragedy of her own making.”
