'Cold-blooded' Trump ICE killer's reinstatement leaves analysts aghast: 'Disgusting'

Analysts were aghast on Tuesday after a new report indicated that the Trump administration had reinstated the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis earlier this year.

ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Good in late January during "Operation Metro Surge," a federal action that sent more than 3,000 immigration agents into the city to combat protests against Trump's deportation operations. On Tuesday, The Daily Beast reported that Ross had been "quietly relocated to another state" and allowed to return to work.

Ross reportedly called Good a "f------ b----" after he shot her three times. President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security claimed that Good had tried to "weaponize" her vehicle against Ross, a claim that legal experts and political analysts have disputed.

Political analysts and observers reacted to the report on social media.

"Cold-blooded murderer. Minnesota needs to charge him," political scientist Norman Ornstein posted on X.

"Gosh, here’s hoping he wasn’t inconvenienced," Mark Thompson, a cartoonist at The New Yorker, posted on Bluesky.

"The Trump-Vance admin basically put the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good in protective care and killed an investigation into the shooting that would typically be standard procedure," writer Pedro L. Gonzalez posted on X.

"A murderer never brought to justice and given another gig. It's disgusting," Paul Gundlach, a political commentator, posted on X.
