Live updates: ICE officer who shot Renee Good identified in court records as Jonathan Ross

I want to thank Mock Paper Scissors for the link. https://mockpaperscissors.com/2026/01/08/246190/

So much of what is reported is the tRump people trying to hide the truth. The fact is true it seems the US tRump government doesn’t want the truth to come out, they don’t want rogue officers investigated, they want to keep lying to the public and running illegal thug operation over the US people. There must be some way the local police can find evidence to send to a prosecutor over this event. Hugs

A day after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed 37-year-old mother of three Renee Good as she tried to drive away on a snowy Minneapolis street, tensions remained high, with dozens of protesters venting their outrage outside of a federal facility that’s serving as a hub for the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown on a major city.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has not publicly identified the officer who shot Good. But she spoke of an incident last June in which the same officer was injured when he was dragged by another driver’s fleeing vehicle. A Homeland Security spokesperson confirmed Noem was referring to an incident in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Court records from that case identify the officer who was dragged and injured as Jonathan Ross.

Court documents say Ross got his arm stuck in a vehicle’s window as a driver fled arrest in Bloomington, Minnesota. The officer was dragged 100 yards (91 meters) and cuts to his arm required 50 stitches.

The Associated Press wasn’t immediately able to locate a phone number or address for Ross, and ICE no longer has a union that might comment on his behalf.

Here’s what we know:

Videos of the shooting: Footage shows an officer approaching an SUV stopped across the middle of the road, demanding the driver open the door and grabbing the handle. The Honda Pilot begins to pull forward, and a different ICE officer standing in front of it pulls his weapon and immediately fires at least two shots at close range, jumping back as the vehicle moves toward him. It is unclear from the videos whether the vehicle makes contact with the officer, and there is no indication of whether the woman had interactions with ICE agents earlier. After the shooting, the SUV speeds into two cars parked on a curb before crashing to a stop.

Renee Good: She was a U.S. citizen born in Colorado and appears to have never been charged with anything beyond a traffic ticket. In social media accounts, Macklin Good described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom.” Public records show she had recently lived in Kansas City, Missouri, where she and another woman with the same home address had started a business last year called B. Good Handywork. Trump administration officials painted Good as a domestic terrorist who had attempted to ram federal agents with her car.

Who will investigate? The Minnesota agency that investigates officer-involved shootings said it was informed Thursday that the FBI and U.S. Justice Department would not work with the agency, effectively ending any role for the state to determine if crimes were committed. Noem said the state has no jurisdiction. Gov. Tim Walz pushed back against the Trump administration’s decision to keep the investigation solely in federal hands, emphasizing that it would be “very, very difficult for Minnesotans” to accept that an investigation that excludes the state could be fair. Mary Moriarty, the prosecutor in Hennepin County, which includes Minneapolis, said her office is “exploring all options” to determine if a state investigation can proceed.

Murder in Minnesota

While Mock Paper Scissors and my blog have many of the same viewers it is important to note that TenGrains site has a forensic breakdown that is very important to understand the misinformation and how badly these ICE thugs acted. I keep saying one thing everyone misses is how angry the driver of the ICE truck is and how he charges the car immediately trying to get in the car swearing at the woman driver. It would have caused concern in anyone when an angry armed masked man charges your car and starts yanking on the door handle while swearing at you. As the other videos at the above linked site show the ICE officers were never in danger and they only fired because they believe that anyone not instantly obeying them or blocking them in any way is a capital offense they can deal with anyway they want including killing the offender. We are in a very dangerous situation because the ICE thugs are soon to be the largest armed military police agency with no controls on their behavior in the US. They are the US brownshirts or Gestapo. They are made up of militias, Proud Boys, 3 percenters, Oath keepers, and Jan 6th riot insurrectionist. They feel no laws or rules apply to them, they are on a white supremacists mission to remove the brown breeders from the US to save the white people from becoming a minority. Why does that bother some white people? Because they are afraid that brown people will treat them the same way they treated brown people all these years before. It won’t happen but that is their fear, the loss of privilege they never earned and don’t deserve. Hugs

I am SCARED

‘Dictator’ Trump Floats Idea of Canceling Midterm Elections

OK this is a yellow journalism site and make their money on sensationalism and trying to get the most click as soon as possible, but often I have found them to be really spot on when it comes to the tRump admin. So read with a grain of salt or the entire shaker but remember tRump keeps hinting at this all the time. He clearly doesn’t want to leave office. So he once did a riot insurrection to try to stay in power, what will he do now in his demented state of mind? Hugs

The president said he risked being accused of being an autocrat if he suggested the Dems weren’t worth running against.

Donald Trump mused about canceling the 2026 midterms during his appearance before a room full of GOP lawmakers.

The president visited the Kennedy Center for the House Republican retreat, where he spoke about the looming election while also going off on a series of other topics.

Trump, 79, complained about even having to run against Democrats before floating the idea.

“I won’t say cancel the election, they should cancel the election because the fake news will say ‘he wants the elections canceled. He’s a dictator.’ They always call me a dictator,” Trump said with a smile.

He argued that “nobody’s worse than Obama and the people that surrounded Biden.”

It’s not the first time the president has made light of the idea of canceling a U.S. election.

Trump made the remarks on January 6, five years after the attack on the U.S. Capitol, as he continues to deny he lost the 2020 election.

Just before talking about calling for the midterms to be cancelled, Trump boasted about his first year back in office. He lamented that the party in power typically loses seats in the midterms.

“But even if it’s successful, they don’t win. I don’t know what it is. There’s something psychological, like you vote against,” Trump said.

The president went on to tout his 2024 election results, which included winning every swing state.

“But they say that when you win he presidency, you lose the midterm,” Trump told the lawmakers.

He told the group of Republicans that he wishes they could explain to him “what the hell is going on with the mind of the public because we have the right policy.”

Trump claimed during his more than an hour speech that he had provided Republicans with a “roadmap.”

“It’s a roadmap to victory. You have so many good nuggets. You have to use them,” Trump declared. “If you can sell them, we’re going to win.”

Trump encouraged Republican lawmakers to focus on favored nations, the border and take the health care issue “away from” Democrats as they look ahead to the midterms.

The president claimed GOP lawmakers can own the issue of health insurance by giving the money to the people rather than insurance companies. However, he still has not provided specifics on a plan or a path forward in Congress.

Instead, Trump urged Republicans to be flexible, and it could be their issue.

“You could own health care. Figure it out!” Trump declared.

However, the president specifically mentioned flexibility when it came to the Hyde Amendment which bans using federal money for abortion. The comment has already gotten pushback from conservatives.

The president also issued a warning to Republicans. During his more than an hour-long remarks, Trump slammed Democrats for impeaching him twice during his first term.

“You gotta win the midterms,” Trump said. “Because if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just going to be, I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached.”

Sen. Mark Kelly and former Rep. Gabby Giffords speak out

I am not sure if I need to say this but this is a total fraud attack on a real US hero. This is fascism up close and clear. tRump and his people are scared of the truth and a drunken Christian Nazi nationalist is trying to demote a real US hero military man because he told the truth. The truth every military person learns in what ever basic training they went through and often during their time in service. Remember the Mỹ Lai massacre in Vietnam and the shit that followed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Lai_massacre . Hugs

Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly is firing back after the Pentagon moved to censure him over last year’s video urging service members to refuse illegal orders.

Mar-a-Lago Spa Would Send Teen Workers on House Calls to Jeffrey Epstein’s Mansion: Report

Full disclosure. Ron was working for tRump at Mar-a-largo as his nighttime butler and nighttime house supervisor. He knew all about this and told me of it. Sadly he couldn’t do anything about it other than give the doctor and staff comfort and support.

A new report from the ‘Wall Street Journal’ reveals new ties between Epstein and President Donald Trump

A new report from the Wall Street Journal alleges that Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago spa had teenage workers make house calls to Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion

“Epstein wasn’t a dues-paying member of the club, but Trump told staff to treat him like one, the employees said,” according to the report

The house calls reportedly stopped in 2003 when an 18-year-old worker said Epstein pressured her for sex, and Trump cut him off from spa services

A new report from the Wall Street Journal alleges that Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago spa had teenage workers make house calls to Jeffrey Epstein‘s mansion.

The report, which cites unnamed former Mar-a-Lago and Epstein employees, claims that Trump’s spa would send masseuses, manicurists and other spa workers to Epstein’s nearby residence.

“Epstein wasn’t a dues-paying member of the club, but Trump told staff to treat him like one, the employees said,” according to the report.

It also alleges that workers “warned each other about Epstein, who was known among staff for being sexually suggestive and exposing himself during the appointments.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to the Journal that the publication was “writing up fallacies and innuendo in order to smear President Trump.”

“No matter how many times this story is told and retold, the truth remains: President Trump did nothing wrong and he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for being a creep,” Leavitt said in a text message.

Leavitt’s claim about Trump kicking Epstein out seems to align with the Journal’s reporting, which goes on to say that, in 2003, an 18-year-old worker returned to Mar-a-Lago from an Epstein house call and said the billionaire had “pressured her for sex.”

“A manager sent Trump a fax relaying the employee’s allegations and urged him to ban Epstein, some of the former employees said,” the report claims. “Trump told the manager it was a good letter and said to kick him out.”

The incident was not reported to police, according to WSJ. However, two years later, Epstein would be investigated after a parent alleged that he sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter. Ultimately, he pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18.

That conviction preceded the 2019 charges of sex trafficking, for which Epstein was awaiting trial when he died in prison. The billionaire’s friendships with many high-profile celebrities and businessmen have been highly scrutinized in recent months as Trump’s Department of Justice — which was ordered to release all evidence in the Epstein case by Dec. 19 — has continued to release documents and photos one batch at a time.

Though Trump has continued to downplay his longtime friendship with Epstein since taking office for his second term, there was a disturbing mention of the president in the last drop of evidence.

One of the documents, dated Oct. 27, 2020, appeared to be an FBI intake report that featured the account of a former limo driver, who claimed to have met Trump in 1995, when he said he drove the real estate mogul to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

The document read, “[Driver] reported some of the things President Trump had spoken about during the ride while on his cell phone were very concerning. [Driver] reported he was ‘a few seconds from pulling the limousine over on the median and within a few seconds of pulling him out of the car and hurting him, due to some of the things he was saying.’ “

While telling the story to an unnamed woman years later, the driver alleged that the woman went “stone cold.”

“[Woman] stated, ‘He raped me,'” the FBI intake report read. “[Driver] said, ‘What?’ as [Woman] replied ‘Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.’ “

The Department of Justice took proactive measures against the claims while releasing the new batch of documents. In a Tuesday, Dec. 23, statement on social media, they wrote, “The Department of Justice has officially released nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election.”

“To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already,” the statement continued. “Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.”

Trump’s Dangerous Jan6 History Rewrite

ICE Kills Woman With Gunshots To The Face

The middle of the video shows the ICE thug not giving the woman time to do as ordered. She was told to move her car and leave she was trying but got cut off by another auto, the ICE thug grabbed the door handle as she was starting to pull out and he already had his gun out. He stuck the gun into the open window and shot her point blank. He was in no danger as he was beside the car not in front of it. When Ron saw the video as I was watching the show on the kitchen TV while doing dishes and he broke down in tears over it. I was also very upset. Gang thugs rampaging in cities with no restraint on what they are allowed to do. These are gang members, militia members, and Jan 6th insurrectionists. They are Stephen Millers brownshirts and Gestapo. You know Miller the guy who said on national TV that the president must never be questioned and is a white supremacist Jewish Nazi. He has claimed he doesn’t consider him self a Jew but I be the Nazi’s do. Hugs
