Ken Jennings is weighing in online about the state of the world after the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis mother by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent this week.
In a series of posts shared to Bluesky on Wednesday, Jan. 7, the 51-year-old Jeopardy! host posted his reactions hours after the death of Renee Nicole Good, 37, drew national attention.
“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.”
Elsewhere on his timeline, Jennings said he had “been a-blockin’ and a-mutin’ all afternoon,” and offered general advice for people who might be 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 — fired into her vehicle.

On Thursday, Jan. 8, Jennings also reposted a Bluesky message that read, “The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross.” It 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.”
According to multiple videos, Good was seen reversing her Honda Pilot as ICE agents attempted to open her car door. The vehicle then moved forward and to the right as the agent opened fire — first through the windshield and then twice through the open window — fatally wounding 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 encountered a group of ICE agents Wednesday morning.
He said his ex-wife was not an activist and that he was not aware of her participating in protests in the past.
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.”
