Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), confirmed on 14/1 that Jonathan Ross, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who fatally shot driver Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, suffered internal bleeding after the incident. DHS did not provide further information on the severity of the bleeding or Ross's current health.
The shooting on 7/1 sparked protests in Minneapolis and other U.S. cities. Initial reports indicate Good's vehicle blocked the road, then began to move as an ICE agent approached. Ross, standing in front of the vehicle, fired three shots at close range, killing her.
Videos from the scene show agent Ross was able to walk away from the area after the shooting. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem later confirmed Ross was taken to a hospital and released the same day. A source indicated Ross has not returned to work, but did not specify why.

Noem described Good's actions as "domestic terrorism" and stated that Ross, an experienced agent, believed he acted in self-defense and to protect his colleagues.
According to court records, Ross is a law enforcement officer with 10 years of experience. He was severely injured in another immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis in June. Ross was dragged by a vehicle while apprehending an immigrant and required 33 stitches. Gregory Bovino, a U.S. Border Patrol official, told CBS News that agent Ross had "faced multiple life-threatening encounters." Bovino added, "Ross is in a safe location recovering. We are pleased he is recovering."
