BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed the unarmed Minnesota mother Renee Good has quietly returned to active duty in another state.Three months after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good in the arm, breast, and head as she tried to drive away — while muttering “fucking bitch” on his own cellphone video as her car crashed into a parked vehicle with her dying inside — he is back on active duty.Ross faced no criminal charges and received only three days of administrative leave before being quietly relocated out of Minnesota and returned to work.Good, 37, was an unarmed mother who was shot on January 7th during an ICE operation in Minneapolis.
Seventeen days later, VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti was also shot dead during the same operation. The killings triggered global outrage, mass protests, and ultimately ended the career of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.Now, the agent responsible for Renee Good’s death has been reassigned to perform administrative and investigative duties in another state.The accountability process has been effectively frozen — deliberately, according to senior DHS officials — because ICE’s internal affairs division cannot begin its own review until the FBI investigation is complete. However, the FBI probe has stalled.One senior ICE official told the PunchUp Substack blog that the FBI needs to “shit or get off the pot.” “It’s just hanging out there,” the official said.The FBI investigation has been clouded by serious misconduct allegations from the start. FBI supervisor
Tracee Mergen resigned from the Minneapolis field office in January after claiming she was pressured to reclassify her civil rights inquiry into Ross as an investigation of an alleged assault on a federal officer by Good herself.Whistleblowers told Senators Whitehouse and Durbin that FBI Director Kash Patel personally directed agents to reframe warrant language to portray the dead woman as a suspect rather than a victim.Multiple senior DHS officials told PunchUp that the decision to freeze out Minnesota state investigators from the crime scene was directed by the White House.
Career officials who believed a joint federal-state review would produce a more credible outcome were never consulted.When outgoing ICE Director Todd Lyons was asked directly by a House subcommittee whether he would apologize to Good’s family for how she was publicly characterized, he said he would speak to them privately but would not comment on an active investigation. Hours later, he announced his resignation.Somehow, Jonathan Ross remains on active duty — while Renee Good remains dead.
