ICE Officer Who Shot Renee Good Thanks Donors

Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent accused of shooting and killing Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three in Minneapolis, has reportedly expressed deep gratitude to supporters who have donated to fundraisers intended to «ensure his safety.» According to GiveSendGo co-founder Jacob Wells, Ross was “extremely appreciative” of the donations, telling supporters the funds will be released soon so he doesn’t have to worry about his family’s welfare or his personal security amid the intense public scrutiny. The «Stand With Our Brave ICE Hero» GiveSendGo campaign — a Christian crowdfunding platform that promotes fundraising for personal, charitable and faith-based causes while emphasizing freedom of speech and religious expression — has drawn significant contributions earmarked for Ross’s protection after the controversial incident.

Since news broke, public outrage has extended beyond condemnation of the shooting itself to fierce criticism of those perceived to be supporting the agent. After GiveSendGo co-founder Jacob Wells acknowledged money raised to «ensure his safety,» many users on X (formerly Twitter) blasted Wells under the platform’s posts, accusing him of hypocrisy and saying his actions betray Christian values in light of the fatal incident. Critics argued the fundraiser’s tone and backing for Ross are deeply inappropriate given the context of widespread protests over Good’s death and growing anger toward ICE enforcement practices. Tens of thousands have marched in Minneapolis and other cities like New York and Seattle against the shooting, demanding accountability and an end to aggressive federal immigration operations, while local leaders have openly disputed the federal narrative of self-defense and voiced their frustration with the administration’s handling of the case.

A separate GoFundMe campaign also emerged in support of the ICE agent accused of killing Renee Nicole Good, drawing sharp criticism for its language and rapid fundraising. The fundraiser, created for Jonathan Ross — the federal agent involved in the Minneapolis shooting — explicitly defended his actions, with its description stating, “After seeing all the media bs about a domestic terrorist getting go fund me. I feel that the officer that was 1000 percent justified in the shooting deserves to have a go fund me.” The campaign’s stated purpose was to help cover legal services and related needs for Ross, and it quickly raised over $700,000 within just a few days, reflecting a significant base of financial support even as public outrage continues over the killing of Good and the broader questions it has raised about federal immigration enforcement and the use of force.

A GoFundMe campaign launched to support the family of Renee Nicole Good quickly became a major outpouring of public support. Originally aiming to raise $50,000 to help her wife Becca and their young children with funeral costs and living expenses, the fundraiser surpassed $1.5 million in donations from tens of thousands of contributors before the page was closed. Organizers said the funds will be placed in a trust for the family, and supporters described the campaign as a way to honor Good’s memory and provide tangible assistance to her loved ones after the tragedy.
