Jonathan Ross put himself in danger; Minneapolis ICE shooting video analysis appears to clear Renee Good
Amid outrage over ICE agent Jonathan Ross shooting Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, authorities have alleged she tried to hit the agent with her car.
Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross amid ongoing operations in Minneapolis. The incident, captured on video, sparked nationwide outrage. Amid this, the Donald Trump administration has come to the federal agent's defense and alleged that Good tried to hit the agent with her car.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem went as far as to label Good a ‘domestic terrorist’ while Vice President JD Vance pushed the narrative on X that Good tried to run over Ross, prompting him to open fire.
Now, a video analysis by New York Times appears to suggest something different.
