BREAKING: Body Cam Footage Of ICE Being Rammed By Car Vindicates Agent

Newly released video footage is dramatically reshaping the national debate over the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis, as a fresh point of view clip appears to show a federal agent acting in clear self defense during a chaotic confrontation.

On Friday, Alpha News released cellphone footage that it says captures the perspective of the ICE agent at the center of the January 7, shooting in south Minneapolis. The video, described as a new angle not previously seen by the public, shows an ICE agent standing directly in front of a vehicle moments before it accelerates toward him.

In the footage, the engine can be heard revving loudly as the vehicle moves forward with the agent positioned squarely in its path. Seconds later, gunshots ring out as the agent discharges his firearm.

he shooting resulted in the death of Renée Nicole Good, a 37 year old Minneapolis resident and United States citizen. Good, a mother of three, was killed during a federal immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, the incident unfolded after Good allegedly used her vehicle in a way that endangered ICE agents on the scene. Federal officials say the agent fired in self defense after being struck or nearly struck by the vehicle as it accelerated toward him.

The ICE agent involved has not been officially identified by authorities, though multiple outlets have reported he is Jonathan Ross, a veteran officer with years of experience. DHS officials and Trump administration leaders have consistently defended the shooting as justified and fully consistent with federal use of force policy.

Early video clips circulating online had fueled intense criticism from activists and Democratic officials, with claims that the footage did not clearly show an imminent threat at the moment shots were fired. Those arguments are now under renewed scrutiny as additional footage continues to emerge.

The case has drawn added attention due to Ross’s prior experience in the line of duty. In 2025, the same agent was seriously injured after being dragged by a vehicle driven by an illegal migrant during an enforcement action. DHS officials have cited that incident as context for the agent’s heightened awareness of vehicular threats, though critics argue past encounters should not influence the legal assessment of this case.

The shooting sparked immediate protests across Minneapolis, with calls for outside investigations and accountability. City leaders, including Mayor Jacob Frey, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, demanded state and federal oversight beyond internal DHS reviews.

The FBI and other agencies are now involved in ongoing investigations. As of Thursday, no charges have been filed against the ICE agent.
