As Minneapolis continues to grapple with the death of Renee Nicole Good, attention has increasingly turned to the federal agent whose actions are now under investigation.
The incident has sparked protests, public debate, and urgent calls for transparency, but it has also pulled a normally private figure into the national spotlight. Jonathan E. Ross, a veteran officer with U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has become a central focus as investigators work to determine what happened and why. With emotions running high, newly surfaced records and firsthand accounts are shaping a more detailed—and more complicated—picture of the man behind the badge.
Ross has served for roughly a decade on ICE’s special response team, a role that involves high-risk enforcement operations. Federal records show that in June 2025, he was injured during an arrest attempt in Minnesota when a suspect tried to flee in a vehicle, briefly dragging Ross before he broke free.
