ICE agent unlikely to face charges for shooting
The New York Times, reporting sources familiar with the investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, reports that charges are becoming less likely. Jonathan Ross, the agent who shot Good, is not out of the woods depending on which way the investigation progresses. The FBI took over the case from local officials and looked into Ross’ action, the weapon he used, and other evidence from the incident.
From New York Post.
The ICE agent who fatally shot protester Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis is unlikely to face criminal charges — as the Justice Department is not expected to open a civil rights probe into the deadly ordeal, according to a report.
Federal investigators assigned to probe last week’s fatal encounter are looking increasingly less likely to charge the agent, Jonathan Ross, after he opened fire on the 37-year-old, the New York Times reported, citing sources familiar with the investigation.
The decision could change, however, as the investigation unfolds, the sources said.
FBI investigators, who have taken over the case from local authorities, said their review of the fatal shooting includes analyzing Ross’ conduct and key physical evidence — including the handgun involved.
Meanwhile, the DOJ’s civil rights division has so far declined to look at whether Ross, a President Trump-supporting war veteran, potentially violated the protester’s civil rights when he fired three shots at her.
The Trump administration, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, quickly branded Good a “domestic terrorist” — arguing that the ICE agent only fired the fatal shots in self-defense after the alleged agitator struck him with her vehicle.
As part of the investigation, the feds are said to be zeroing in on Good’s links to anti-ICE activist groups protesting the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.
The Justice Department plans to examine the actions of numerous activists who took part in apparent neighborhood watch activities in the lead-up to Good’s death.
It comes as massive protests continue in Minneapolis and throughout the country in the wake of Good’s death.

What the hell does “President Trump supporting war veteran” have ANYTHING to do with the incident? What it does it subliminally signal that he acted under direct orders from Trump and he agrees with all that Trump is doing. Eat a bag of dicks, Richard Polina and Emily Crane.
He should be awarded with a War Bonnet by Minnesota for preventing additional crimes by that Missouri vagrant and the she-bitch accomplice.
Has anyone ever determined who the father of the lesbian child is? Seems like he ought to have some say in the custody matters. Ah, Hell, who knows, probably depends on the state where the child is domiciled.
She’s never returning to Missoura, that’s all that matters.
Baby Daddy is dead from a drug over dose. The family has gone to great lengths to try to hide that.
Now if you like irony, the mom fighting against the administration trying to prevent drug over doses like the one that killed her baby daddy ex-husband is right up there with King Duncan telling Macbeth that he trusts him.
The father of the six year old died by suicide a few years ago. The custody of the child should now go to blood relatives of the child unless certain legal filings had been completed. I pray the child is not left with the wife who shouted, Drive Baby Drive just before her wife’s head exploded. I wouldn’t think that to be in the child’s best interest. The other two children, as I understand it, are already in the custody of the father and had been for some time. I pray peace for all involved. However, that prayer is seriously challenging my faith.
That little boy totally got his mother killed.
But why did he call her ” Baby ” ? 🤔
The liberals got their “martyr”. It’s a damn shame they don’t understand what they actually had was an offering to their political god. They sacrificed that woman, plain and simple. And they intend to do it again.
I have never seen a neighborhood watch blast horns, whistles and profanity at Federal Agents enforcing the law. Nor seen them block the street with a vehicle, try to run an agent over or help criminals hide from the police. Are they some kind of retarded neighborhood watch? Because they need some serious retraining.
To be clear, the FBI didn’t take over any investigation. They have primary jurisdiction on any federal officer involved shooting.
What happened was they had some agreement with the MN BCA (the state’s bureau of investigation, which looks into state OISs). That agreement has been rescinded. The state and locals aren’t entitled to anything. Personally, I think the more eyes that look into this, the more it will be proven to be justified. With how the state/local authorities have shown a very real bias against the agent involved (to the point of slander), I can see why the feds circled the wagons.
The state has no jurisdiction over a federal officer within the course and scope of his duties.
I would say that if the City and state doesn’t want to cooperate with the Feds, no reason for the Feds to cooperate with them. They started the pissing match, now they reap what they sow.
I’ll mourn the ICE ‘mom’ when Dems mourn Ashli Babbitt…
so, in other words never.
Good.
