The Securityish Brief
Jonathan Ross, identified as the ICE officer who shot Renee Good, is a veteran deportation officer in ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division. His testimony in a December 2025 trial revealed that he is part of a Special Response Team, akin to a SWAT team, and has served as a firearms trainer. The incident occurred during an immigration enforcement action where Good was shot while attempting to leave the scene.
In June 2025, Ross led a team to apprehend Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala, who was wanted for being in the U.S. without authorization. Ross testified that he approached Muñoz-Guatemala’s vehicle, leading to a confrontation where he was dragged and subsequently fired his Taser at the driver. The situation escalated, resulting in injuries that required 33 stitches for Ross.
The shooting of Renee Good has raised significant concerns regarding the conduct of ICE agents during enforcement actions. Video evidence suggests that Good was trying to avoid contact with Ross’s vehicle when he fired shots into her car. This incident has sparked a broader discussion about the risks faced by federal agents and the implications of their actions in immigration enforcement.
Vice President JD Vance commented on the incident, highlighting Ross’s previous experience of being dragged by a vehicle during an arrest attempt, which may have influenced his response during the shooting of Good. The Department of Homeland Security has characterized Good’s actions as domestic terrorism, indicating the serious nature of the situation.
As the FBI continues its investigation, the case underscores the complexities and dangers involved in immigration enforcement, particularly in urban settings where civilian interactions can lead to tragic outcomes.
