A fundraiser for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who shot and killed activist Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis has raised more than $350,000 in donations amid ongoing protests across the country.
The GoFundMe page was created to support Agent Jonathan Ross’s legal defense after he fatally shot Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, during a confrontation on January 7. The competing fundraiser, promoted by conservative hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman, has attracted significant contributions, including a reported $10,000 from Ackman himself.
“I am big believer in our legal principal [sic] that one is innocent until proven guilty,” Ackman wrote on social media.
The Trump administration has defended Ross’s actions, blaming Good for the incident, and announced plans to deploy “hundreds” of additional federal agents to Minnesota for officer protection and continued immigration enforcement.
In contrast, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has demanded ICE leave the city, accusing federal agents of undermining community safety. Nationwide protests continued over the weekend, with demonstrators condemning the shooting and calling for greater accountability in immigration enforcement.
The case remains under investigation, and public reaction remains sharply divided, reflecting broader tensions over immigration policy and law enforcement practices in the United States.
