ICE Agent in Renee Good Case Sees Major Fundraising Support Amid Billionaire Bill Ackman’s Defense

ICE agent Jonathan Ross could become a millionaire if he ultimately receives the funds raised for him through multiple online fundraisers.Ross fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good on January 7 in Minneapolis during protests against ICE. A fire department report later confirmed that Good was shot four times, and despite emergency responders’ efforts, she was pronounced dead 48 minutes after paramedics arrived.Following her death, a GoFundMe fundraiser for Good’s family raised $1.5 million in just 48 hours before being closed on January 9.

Separate fundraising campaigns were later created in support of Ross, who reportedly has not returned to work since the incident. On one GoFundMe page, billionaire investor Bill Ackman donated $10,000, sparking widespread criticism and debate online. Ackman defended his decision, stating that his donation was not political but consistent with his long-standing belief in supporting legal defense for those accused of crimes.

He said his contribution was mischaracterized on social media as “rewarding” the killing, a claim he rejected.The GoFundMe supporting Ross has raised nearly $760,000, while a separate campaign on GiveSendGo has collected over $282,000, bringing the combined total to approximately $1.04 million at the time of writing.

An update posted on January 13 stated that organizers had made contact with Ross and that arrangements were being discussed to transfer the funds according to his wishes.The fundraising efforts have fueled ongoing controversy surrounding the case, highlighting deep divisions over accountability, public support, and the role of crowdfunding in high-profile incidents.
