One brief observation from watching the New York Times frame-by-frame analysis of the murder of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross (as identified by the Star Tribune):

Ross already had his hand on his gun as Good’s car backed up to leave. Ross shoots Good three times: once through the windshield at an angle, then he reaches through the open driver-side window and fires twice more at Good from point-blank range.

The Star Tribune reports:

“he acted according to his training,” Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, told the Minnesota Star Tribune in an email, noting that this specific agent was selected for ICE’s Special Response Team, is an expert marksman and “has been serving his country his entire life.”

Identifying the man who shot a woman in the head at point-blank range as “an expert marksman” is especially callous and sadistic.

On June 17, Ross was participating in an arrest of Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, a Mexican citizen, in Bloomington last year. Munoz-Guatemala had previously been convicted of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and had been put on a detainer by immigration officials. Munoz-Guatemala ignored the agents’ commands, including to fully roll down his car window, so Ross broke open his rear window and reached inside to unlock the door.

Ross was dragged by the car and required “20 stitches for a deep cut in his right arm and another 13 stitches in his left hand.” JD Vance suggests that justifies the killing:

“That very ICE officer nearly had his life ended … six months ago,” Vance said, referring to the earlier car-dragging incident.

“You think maybe he’s a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him?”

If he’s still “sensitive” about being “rammed,” he (1) shouldn’t be standing in front of vehicles, and (2) is unfit for duty and shouldn’t have been in the field.

After killing Good, Ross re-holsters his gun as he watches the vehicle spin out of control and crash, then slowly walks toward it. Ross appears calm the entire time—including as he casually asks his colleagues to “call 9–1–1”.

These are not the actions of a man who panicked or feared for his life. They’re the actions of a man who made a deliberate choice to fire his weapon—three times—into a moving vehicle.

Arrest and charge Ross now.
