JD Vance Blames Victim in ICE Shooting and Asks for Prayers for Her Killer

January 8, 2026 | FlaglerLive | 47 Comments

J.D. Vance. (Wikimedia Commons)

Vice President J.D. Vance said Thursday the Trump administration would stand by the federal immigration officer who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis the day prior.

Vance defended the immigration officer’s actions as “self-defense” and berated journalists for covering the story, including by reporting that on-the-scene videos contradicted claims from the Trump administration that 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good used her vehicle to harm the immigration officer who fired three shots into her windshield.

“I would appreciate everybody saying a prayer for that agent,” Vance said. “I think the media prejudging and talking about this guy as if he’s a murderer is one of the most disgraceful things I’ve ever seen from the American media.”

The Minnesota Star Tribune identified the federal immigration officer as Jonathan Ross, who Vance said was hit by a vehicle during an immigration operation six months ago.

An analysis from The New York Times of videos from three different angles show Good turning her SUV away from Ross and that he was not in the path of her vehicle when he fired three shots at close range into her windshield.

“That ICE officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg so you think maybe he’s a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile,” Vance said.

Vance also accused Good of impeding a law enforcement operation.

“I’m not happy that this woman was there at a protest violating the law by interfering with the law enforcement action,” he said. “I think that we can all recognize that the best way to turn down the temperature is to tell people to take their concerns about immigration policy to the ballot box, stop assaulting and stop inciting violence against our law enforcement officers.”

DHS operation to continue

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also defended the immigration agent during a Thursday press conference.

“This is an experienced officer who followed his training,” she said.

The federal immigration operation in Minneapolis began last month but intensified this week after a right-wing influencer reported day care centers run by members of the Somali community as fraudulent.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during the briefing that the aggressive immigration enforcement in Minnesota would continue.

“The Department of Homeland Security will continue to operate on the ground in Minnesota, not only to remove criminal illegal aliens, but also to continue conducting door-to-door investigations of the rampant fraud that has taken place in the state under the failed and corrupt leadership of Democrat Gov. Tim Walz,” Leavitt said.

‘Absolute immunity’

The FBI has refused to allow the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from the investigation to have access to evidence or other case materials in order to investigate the shooting.

When reporters in the White House briefing room pressed Vance on why the FBI is refusing to cooperate with local law enforcement officials, Vance said it was a federal issue.

“The idea that Tim Walz and a bunch of radicals in Minneapolis are going to go after and make this guy’s life miserable because he was doing the job that he was asked to do is preposterous,” Vance said. “The unprecedented thing is the idea that a local official can actually prosecute a federal official with absolute immunity.”

A federal officer can be prosecuted by local and state authorities if a federal official violates state criminal laws.

Absolute immunity is applied to civil liability, and extended to certain positions such as the president, judges and legislatures acting in their official duty. Qualified immunity is usually applied to the conduct of law enforcement and grants them immunity from certain legal actions.

Congressional Democrats have decried the shooting and have called for a criminal investigation.

    Mr. Vance is very well aware of what happened to that last VP within a Trump administration. Vance needs to heed the latest philosophical/ethical/spiritual pronouncement of the President “… there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me,” see The New York Times (01/08/2026). I cannot express how frightening it is hear a leader, particularly within a constitutional democracy, express “I am the almighty and I follow myself”. I understand the cowardice of Vance when faced by this man on a daily basis. The politicians, Mr. Fine, Mr. Scott and Ms. Moody, may cower, but the citizens will not, that is the nature of democracy. I just wish that Fine, Scott and Moody did not look so complicit in the actions of the administration. I have not heard from Mr. Fine, I do not know if he has responded to Mr. Cuff or if a response has been sent to the FlaglerLive community awaiting moderation. Mr. Fines silence, I also looked on his webpage today, definitely provides a clue as to his complicity in the administrations highly questionable and unlaw activities. I will search and keep my eyes and ears open and believe what I see and hear from reputable sources of information. Vance is not in the reputable category.

    Wait a Minute! Vance is now asking us NOT to believe our eyes! We are suppose to disregard what we saw in the many videos. No waiting for any kind of forensic investigation! No waiting to see any video or hear testimony by the passenger in the car. Why isn’t the FBI sharing the evidence they have with the state and local police? What are they hiding? Why the rush to judgement in calling the murdered mother of 3 a “domestic terrorist”? This whole thing is some kind of sick fascist bull sh@# coverup!

      New questions/observations ;

      1. Does the shooting officer have PTSD from the recent prior incident?
      2. Did that officer undergo any kind of psychological evaluation before being placed back on such duty?
      3. Find the video that shows that officer drawing his gun. It appears he did so “before” he stepped in front of the victim’s car. What was his intention?

      Too many questions! Not enough information! A fascist regime rushing to judgement and blaming the victim “before” a through investigation has even begun! FBI is NOT working with local authorities! FBI is not sharing evidence! What are they hiding?

    After the events in Minnesota unfolded yesterday, it has been on my mind a lot. A young woman tragically lost her life needlessly, and that fact truly makes me sad and angry.

    Actions have consequences and many actions led to this consequence. For example, had President Biden not allowed millions of illegals to invade our Country, ICE most likely would not have been in Minnesota.

    Had Governor Waltz ordered Police Officials to cooperate with ICE Agents, had Democrats toned down their rhetoric, had this woman gone to her job, or stayed at home to take care of her child, instead of obstructing Police business, or obeyed the Officers on the scene, she most likely would still be alive.

    Actions have consequences.

          I second that Sherry! The only rhetoric being pushed is being pushed by Trump and the administration. Calling immigrants, murders and rapists. That’s the wedge point that started all of this. The only invasion in this country is ICE invading cities across the country, causing chaos and mayhem wherever they go.

              From the CBS article dated 01/14/2026 – Third paragraph (or 9th line down) “Videos from the scene showed Ross walking away after the incident.” https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/ice-shooting-minneapolis-retired-agent-video-analysis/

              Possibly there is confusion regarding which incident resulted in internal bleeding, 7th paragraph (or starting at the 19th line): “Ross, a 10-year law enforcement veteran with ICE, was seriously injured in June in a separate incident in the Minneapolis area when he was dragged by a car during an attempted arrest, requiring 33 stitches and hospital care, court records show.”

              Much of the Administrations comments on the incident do not pass as factual. Maybe a compelling narrative could have been developed if it was not the practice of the administration to deal in falsehoods on a daily basis and shoot from the hip.

      Very good observations, Mr. Jacob! If the victims of any crimes had stayed home and minded their kitchens, no murders would ever happen. Open the jails; release all violent offenders; victims are to blame! Had people not voted for an obvious thug and gangster, we’d muddle along still halfway sane and halfway moral in this best of all possible worlds. [Thanks for making my day with a bit of albeit cynical laughter!]

      Jacob, having been in law enforcement my entire career, I know very well that the behavior and actions on the part of the ICE officers is very different under the present administration than all the years before when I had many occasions to work in conjunction with them. Maybe what you say above is somewhat true, but what about the actions and decisions made by the ICE officers who appear to me at least, to have been given marching orders to be as aggressive and brutal in carrying out their orders as possible by their higher ups, and that is completely beyond anything I have seen from federal officers throughout my career. So I think there is accountability that needs to be addressed on behalf of the federal officers’ actions that we have been seeing time and again in cities throughout the U.S.

      Personally, knowing how ICE has operated for decades, I suspect they have been ordered from the very top echelons in our federal government to incite the citizens of every city they surge into, in order to justify the convicted felon president’ desire to try to justify even more federal officers and military going in, and eventually martial law just before the midterm elections as a way to either postpone or cancel upcoming elections. Yes, that is how unhinged and wacko I think he is! These federal officers have been told exactly what to do to keep their jobs, and I would not be surprised at all if they have been promised a presidential pardon by the convicted felon in the WH if there is ever criminal charges against them.

      Do you have any idea how many time in my 29-year law enforcement career I had been threatened with violence after having arrested someone? That never stopped me from doing my job, nor any other officers from the various agencies I worked with… and yet, NOBODY had to wear masks to hide their identity, nobody worked in uniform without a visible ID tag that showed their last name, everyone had badges and patches on their uniforms showing which law enforcement agency they were with, nearly all vehicles except plainclothes detectives or undercover units were readily identifiable, yet here we are with totally upside down and different rules because of some supposed threats and they are worried apparently about regular citizens identifying the ICE officers. Total nonsense and BS! The REAL reason is that the higher ups want no accountability for misbehavior, and and easy excuse to dismiss complaints because without any way to ID a federal officer by his nametag, badge # or even a marked patrol vehicle, they can just say “it wasn’t us, it must have been some other law enforcement agency”. I know exactly how this type of dismissive complaint resolution works!

      If poor judgement and bad decisions were made, it was not just with the woman driver of the SUV that was shot and killed by the ICE officer, and that is a fact.

    The denials are in place!
    This couch fucking Smokey eyed failed Drag Queen, is telling all of us that we didn’t see what we saw.
    There is no way to be nice about this.
    The President of the United States, the FACIST that wears more foundation than a retired burlesque dancer, stated that the shooter was run over and taken to a hospital where he is recovering? Christie Knome, the head of DHS and a costume wearing “RODEO CLOWN” called Rene Good a domestic terrorist?
    JD “COUCH FUCKER” VANCE and Christie (I don’t give a fuck if I spelled her name wrong) Knome try to run cover for a ICE terrorist, and mention an incident where he was dragged by a vehicle six months ago. Well, thank you JD. You and the “Rodeo Clown” are at least helping us identify the murderer.
    When dictators get a taste of unbridled, unchecked, no guardrail invincibility……
    They want more. The TRUMP federal government can do this to anyone. No matter what delusional made up fearmongering FACIST reason they come up with.
    When you can no longer deny… You lie. You twist, then you finally say: I will do this because I want to, because I can.
    Wake up Trumpers! That’s Facism, and it doesn’t care who it comes after. None of us are immune. Yah, i know you don’t believe it, but even law abiding,FOX news watching you are suspect. That’s right! You too “Whitey Johnson”.

    “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” George Orwell
    You’ll say it’s corny but if you watched the unedited videos from Minnesota bystanders or the New York Times analysis of them you know it fits and that JD Vance, and Kristi Noem and Donald Trump’s characterisation of event means they either didn’t bother to view them or want you to believe it wasn’t what happened, that your eyes are deceiving you.
    As for JD Vance’s portrayal of the shooter as a loyal, much maligned CBP agent and the real victim who was just doing his job, shooting someone who gpt in his way – God help us all.

    Didn’t look to me as though she was “flooring the gas” to get away, more like moving her SUV out from behind the other vehicle that looked disabled… was she even part of the protest? Her presence there at the scene hasn’t been clearly explained in my opinion.

    She could have just been driving down the street and got caught up in the chaos. She could have just been moving the vehicle to the other side of the street. It didn’t look to me as if she might get away to anywhere fast. And the ICE agent that shot her, strutting behind leisurely, seemed confident of that.

    If she were in Florida, and she had lived though a similar incident, I’m sure even governor Desantis would agree she had the right to expedite herself from the dangerous conditions surrounding her.

    Just an opinion.

    One of the most famous passages from George Orwell’s novel “1984” is:
    “The Party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
    It appears in the closing paragraphs of Chapter 7, in Part 1

    I have watched two videos of the shooting that were taken from different angles. Renee Nicole Good had no weapons. Her partner and her dog were in the back seat. She was obviously attempting to leave the scene of the incident. She was not the target of the ICE enforcement operations. The ICE officers had no right to detain or stop her. Her only “crime” was to not submit to the orders of the masked armed ICE officers.

    Whether officer Jonathan Ross was hit and injured by a vehicle six months prior has absolutely NOTHING to do with this.

    In fact, the lethal shots were not through the windshield, but through the open side window as she was attempting to drive away.

    J. D. Vance and others in this government are LYING! They want us ignore honest reporting and clear video evidence. This is evil at its core.

    Whenever I believe the Trump administration can not sink any lower, they find another level. JD Vance attacks the media because they dare to report – with video – what happened in Minnesota.
    We can debate what that agent can do. We’re still allowed to do so. However, I find the pattern of this administration to jump up immediately after any incident and incite their followers with incendiary language to be disgusting. There has been no investigation into this shooting at all. And until that is done, no one can even begin to state “facts” like Vance, Noem and Trump have done. Is Ms. Good a radical leftist Democrat domestic terrorist as these people claim. Was she impeding the federal agents? Was she participating in a protest? We don’t know right now. The early reporting is that she’s a Christian and had just dropped her child off at school. Even her ex-husband says she was not the type to participate in protests. So, until there is more information on that, seeing the president, VP and “Homeland Security Secretary” state such incendiary comments this early is irresponsible and very, very dangerous.
    Based on the video, I see a couple of things which trouble me. Why did the federal agent who did the shooting position himself almost directly in front of the car? He had been dragged by a vehicle at an earlier date from reports. I’d expect he might have learned something from that. Also, in the video you can see the car’s driver’s side front tire is turned away from the agent at the time of the shooting. If she was trying to hit the agent, her tires would have been straight and she would have hit him. I’ve seen multiple police from agencies in the government at federal, state and local levels and all have stated their training was to not fire into a moving vehicle unless a life is at threat and to never position yourself where the vehicle can hit you. Also, they state that the first thing expected of law enforcement is to attempt to de-escalate the situation. The agents were very aggressive with Ms. Good from the start. I think I can understand if she panicked and tried to leave.
    JD Vance is no more VP of the United States than DJT is president. They both hold the titles but they are only concerned with a small portion of the people who live in the USA. This is their path to maintain power and they’re holding on for dear life.
    I don’t expect a true investigation by any federal agency in this matter. But, murder and manslaughter charges can be pursued for many years. If the mid-terms go the way I think (and Trump and most Republicans think), the Trump administration is going to have their “come to Jesus” moment early in 2027. But I think Trump stopped too soon in his comments to Republicans that “if they lose the mid-terms, they’ll (Democrats) will impeach me (Trump)”. He should have added that they’ll also go after Vance, Noem, Bondi, RFK, Jr., Hegseth, and some others. And I, for one, pray for that outcome daily.

      I agree with Jim that it is arguable that DJT is the legitimate president of the USA. First is because of the 14th Amendment, Section 3, the insurrection clause. That clause states that no one who has committed insurrection can hold office. Second is because DJT appears to repeatedly and openly violate his oath of office.

      Just a reminder, it took the Biden administration 18 months (November 18, 2022) to appoint a special counsel to investigate DJT and the events of the January 6, 2021 insurrection. In addition, the Justice Department, under Biden, did not open an investigation into Epstein’s cause of death which occurred while DJT was in his first term. The Biden administration also made no effort to release the Epstein files.

      We seemingly live in a country in which rich and powerful politicians can ignore laws, our Constitution, and their oaths of office as they wish. Meanwhile we citizens are trapped into voting for either Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dum.

    ““I would appreciate everybody saying a prayer for that agent,” Vance said. “I think the media prejudging and talking about this guy as if he’s a murderer is one of the most disgraceful things I’ve ever seen from the American media.”” Vance stated this without any investigation, and investigation is being blocked, and immediately condemning the media for reporting what they don’t want seen.

    In my opinion, Vance, Trump, Noem, Miller, Patel and other cabinet members, are all major pieces of human excrement.

    You didn’t think this would happen, did you, when you voted Trump in. People tried to warn you, but you called it “hyperbole” and said “the sky isn’t falling.” Well, the sky is falling, and it’s falling on all Americans.

    Immediately, Noem, in her cowboy hat and injected lips (I think that’s mandatory in Trump’s circle) got behind a microphone and condemned the murdered mom. Y’all were okay with her posse dragging off, and sometimes killing brown and black people, or sending them off to foreign prisons without any due process. It didn’t effect you. You, the white U.S. citizens had nothing to fear, right? Well guess what? An Ice Agent killed a U.S. citizen, a white woman, a mommy, whose car wasn’t filled with bombs and weapons, but filled with her kids’ toys. Is it getting closer to you now? Is any of your Trump administration apologizing, or pursuing justice? Are they condemning this action? No. They are calling this American mom a “domestic terrorist.”

    We all saw the video. Good was trying to turn her vehicle around to leave. We are supposed to pray for the idiot, masked, no id agent, because he was hit six months ago? If he was so traumatized, why didn’t he just step away from the vehicle? He had plenty of time. Shooting someone through the front window causes the driver to lose control of the vehicle, putting others in the unknown path of danger. Why didn’t they just let her drive away?

    Yet, Trump, Vance and Noem denounced Good’s kids’ mom, whom those children will never see again. The Trump administration is the garbage in this nation. But this group of human excrement is going to double down, and it will get worse, all in the name of supposed crime reduction. Murdering U.S. citizens.

    Vance has just made another patently FALSE statement about the Minn. shooting by and ICE agent, saying the agent has “absolute immunity” from prosecution. WTF! His latest fabrication is no more true than his past made up lies about Haitian residents in Ohio supposedly eating people’s pets!

    The truth of the matter is, as former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance, who, fortunately for her, is no relation to the idiot VP, said this morning that despite what Kristi Noem and other federal officials are spouting, the State of Minnesota has “concurrent jurisdiction” in this fatal shooting simply because the state has laws that may come into play if the investigation determines his shooting of the woman in the vehicle was not justified and violated state laws. The only reason why federal authorities would want to exclude state investigators from this investigation is so they can control the narrative and the outcome of the investigation.

    A retired senior FBI agent and former police chief also chimed in about this incident, saying that it was extremely inappropriate for any federal official to make an absurd statement saying the ICE agent’s shooting was justified right after the shooting occurred and before any investigation could even begin. He further stated that when he was chief of police, he oversaw more than 40 officer involved shootings, and had he come out right after one of his officers had used deadly force and proclaimed that the shooting was already determined to be justified, he would have been FIRED!

    Well, I’m joining the growing call for Kristi Noem, head of Homeland Security and ICE, to be fired for already bypassing any investigation into one of her federal agent’s use of force and making the ignorant assertion that it was justified without first seeing the evidence and investigation outcome.

    On Tuesday the President of the United States described anti government protesters in Iran as “brave people” and told podcaster Hugh Hewitt that the Iranian leaders “have been told very strongly… that if they do that (kill protesters), they’re going to have to pay hell.”
    On Thursday after a Federal (ICE) agents shot and killed a woman protesting against a house to house search in Minneapolis he said ‘the woman in the car ran the ICE officer over, and he seems to have shot her in self-defense.’ Despite video evidence that proves this to be false.
    That inconsistency, support of Iranian protests while both President Trump and Vice President Vance doubled down on their erroneous narrative of the Minnesota ‘incident’, that they continue to deny it was probably an illegal over reaction by the federal agent, is a bit dystopian. A bit ‘reject the evidence of your eyes and ears’.
    Or am I simply an ageing Orwell reader who imagines that right now ‘Big Brother’ is looming over us? .

    My granny told me along time ago be weary of people who abuses animals as they are
    capable of abusing humans too.What else do you expect from Wolfeman Vance who went
    against his own people who he tied to his bootstraps to gain votes for his campaign meanwhile
    recently denying them of SNAP benefits. And Noem who shot her own puppy who she trained
    for hunting and also shot her who goat she claims she never liked as the goat lie there suffering
    and dying in it’s own blood.
    The truth Gov. Noem’s puppy-killing scandal reveals about us all
    http://www.humaneworld.org/en/blog/kristi-noem-puppy...
    May 14, 2024 · And most recently, a dog named Cricket, who was killed two decades ago, has become the subject of another such story. The account of Cricket’s death shows up in Gov. Kristi Noem’s political memoir. Noem was using Cricket, just 14 months old, as a hunting dog.

    ““You got to win the midterms, because if we don’t win the midterms, they’ll find a reason to impeach me,” Trump said. “I’ll get impeached.” DJT 1/6/26
    Trump is afraid. He’ll do anything, like Jan.6 for instance. He may be creating turmoil for a purpose: a pretext to cancel the upcoming election, claiming there is too much mayhem and disorder for a free and fair election to be held.

      It is apparently beyond the intelligence and comprehension of the convicted felon in the WH that all he had to do was adhere to his oath of office and obey federal laws and the U.S. Constitution, and he would never even have to worry about the possibility of being impeached. For him to have that uppermost in his mind should inform everyone that he knows full well that he is corrupt and heading a criminal enterprise, acting as if neither laws nor our Constitution applies to him.

      Having been impeached twice already for his behavior, it is difficult to fathom how he is still president, being allowed by his spineless republi-con member of congress to continue to reek chaos on this country’s citizens and our democratic institutions!

    Vance proved to us this week he is a phony Christian and lying to us on national television. We witness live on television what happened just like we witnessed Trumps ordering the attack on our Capitol on January 6th. Our eyes don’t lie but this administration is all lies and full of corruption.
    Trump rules as a bully because he lacks the intelligent to rule any other way.
    Congress needs to put a stop to this madness or they need to resign or be charged as a accomplish to the madness.
    Let the American take a vote if this is how we want our country to be run.

    Can you imagine the massive coverup and flow of lies that would be told over and over again if we did not have those “videos” which clearly show that the murder victim did NOT try to run over anyone! She did not threaten the ICE officers whatsoever!

    Yet, the entire trump administration is “blaming the shooting victim”!!! This is NOT the “American” Way!
