DHS: ICE agent who shot Renee Good suffered internal bleeding after incident

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who fatally shot Renee Good Jan. 7 in Minneapolis suffered internal bleeding in his torso following the incident, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson told FOX News Jan. 14.

Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at DHS, did not disclose the extent of the injury sustained by ICE Agent Jonathan Ross.

As CatholicVote previously reported, Good, 37, was pronounced dead during an ICE operation in Minneapolis after Ross shot her three times. Video footage shows ICE officers approaching Good’s vehicle, attempting to open the door, and ordering her to exit it. Trump administration officials say Good then reversed the SUV and drove forward toward the agent, striking him. Ross fired through the vehicle’s window, after which the SUV crashed into a parked car and lightpole.

CatholicVote also reported that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said on Jan. 7 that Ross was treated at a local hospital and released the same day.

The incident has sparked nationwide protests against ICE operations. Noem and other Trump administration officials have defended the shooting as self-defense and described Good’s actions as domestic terrorism. Minnesota officials have disputed that account, accusing the agent of using excessive force.

U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino told CBS News in an interview Jan. 11 that Ross “has had several threats against his life,” adding, “he’s in a safe location. He’s recovering from those injuries, and we’re thankful that he’s recovering.”

Ross was seriously injured in a separate incident in the Minneapolis area June 2025, when he was dragged by a car during an attempted arrest, according to a DHS press release. His injuries required hospital treatment and 33 stitches.
