A new detail has emerged about the deadly Minneapolis confrontation between an ICE agent and Renee Good that many Americans are talking about.
According to multiple U.S. officials familiar with the case, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent involved in the shooting suffered internal bleeding to his torso after being struck by Good’s vehicle during the incident, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to CBS News.
The agent, identified as Jonathan Ross, was reportedly taken to a hospital following the shooting and was evaluated. While officials have not disclosed the full extent of his injuries, the internal bleeding was serious enough to be noted by federal sources and DHS representatives.
This development comes as the incident continues to fuel nationwide debate and protests. Supporters of law enforcement point out that federal agents can be placed in dangerous, split-second situations and that injuries (even internal) underscore how volatile such confrontations can become. Meanwhile, critics of the shooting have questioned aspects of the encounter and are pushing for further legal and public scrutiny.
The broader Minneapolis case has ignited discussion on immigration enforcement tactics, federal authority, and how confrontations between civilians and law enforcement should be handled. Regardless of perspective, this medical update adds another layer to an already emotional and complex national story.
