MINNEAPOLIS, MN – The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who has since been identified as the individual involved in the fatal Minneapolis shooting of an anti-ICE activist was previously involved in an incident this past summer where he was reportedly dragged by the vehicle of a noncompliant suspect.
The January 7th ICE-involved shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis has been a source for widespread debate over the facts of the incident, with outlets seemingly critical of the incident having exposed the identity of the ICE officer involved after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem inadvertently shared identifying information via the officer’s professional history.
That piece of information Secretary Noem alluded to pertains to ICE Officer Jonathan Ross’ relevant history with vehicles being weaponized against him, as he was the same officer who was reportedly dragged approximately 50 yards by a suspect’s vehicle this past June while attempting to apprehend a criminal illegal alien.
The June incident in question occurred in Bloomington, Minnesota, while ICE agents were attempting to arrest Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, an illegal alien from Mexico who is a convicted child sex offender. A Homeland Security press release from June 18th, 2025, detailed the incident, highlighting how Munoz-Guatemala reportedly dragged the then-unnamed ICE officer roughly 50 yards while authorities attempted to extricate him from his vehicle.
“During a traffic stop, Munoz-Guatemala refused to exit his vehicle,” the June press release from the agency reads, adding, “He tried to flee law enforcement and put his car in drive while the ICE officer still had his arm inside the vehicle, dragging the officer approximately 50 yards. This criminal illegal alien has been arrested and is in federal custody.”
In the aforementioned press release, it was mentioned that Officer Ross “was hospitalized and is expected to make a full recovery,” but the precise nature of his sustained injuries during the incident weren’t fully divulged. In the wake of the Minneapolis incident involving Officer Ross, new details have emerged regarding the June incident where it’s been revealed that he suffered numerous lacerations and abrasions which ultimately required over 30 stitches.
Given the recent history of Officer Ross’ unfortunate familiarity with weaponized vehicles, this relevant information provides important context in relation to government officials who’ve asserted that Officer Ross acted in self-defense during the January 7th incident in Minneapolis.
Despite calls from local elected officials like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for Officer Ross to face “justice,” federal authorities have not stated or inferred that the officer’s actions will result in federal charges.
