ICE shooting latest: Donations pour in for agent who killed Renee Good after weekend of protests nationwide
Donations have poured into a GoFundMe account for the ICE officer accused of killing activist Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis last week as protests continued in cities across the U.S. over the weekend.
Good, a 37-year-old mother-of-three, was shot dead by federal immigration agent Jonathan Ross behind the wheel of her SUV on a suburban street Wednesday morning, provoking a huge public outcry as footage of the incident was closely scrutinized on social media.
After a GoFundMe page was set up to raise money for the victim’s family, a competing account was established to enable Ross to bankroll his legal defense.
“I am big believer in our legal principal [sic] that one is innocent until proven guilty,” wrote hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman on X after donating a reported $10,000 to Ross’s cause.
The Trump administration, which blamed Good for the confrontation that led to her death, has meanwhile said it is sending “hundreds” more federal law enforcement agents to Minnesota to protect its officers and continue immigration raids.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has called on ICE to “get the f*** out” of the city and accused federal law enforcement of making the community less safe.
