A GoFundMe for ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who murdered Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good, has been open for nine days, and funds continue to pour in. Many frustrated community members scrolled to the bottom of the page and reported the fundraiser for violating the company’s terms of service, but the page remains active.
Good was in the driver’s seat of her car with her wife and dog when Ross approached her vehicle from the front and shot her four times as he moved towards the driver’s door. Fox News Digital got a hold of a Minneapolis Fire Department report of the killing, and stated that Ross shot Good two times in the right side of her chest, once in her left forearm, and once “with protruding tissue n the left side of the patient’s head.”
Good was the mother of a six-year-old, and just 37 years old herself. The murder has had a particularly high impact on the LGBTQ+ community, with many wondering if they’re the next targets of ICE, regardless of their skin color. And Black Americans have been warning people for years about law enforcement brutality and the detrimental effect it has on everyone.
The 2020 Black Lives Matter uprisings were the result of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin killing a Black man named George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for over eight minutes. The sites of Floyd’s and Good’s murders were just blocks away from each other.
The Trump regime has fully backed Ross’s trigger-happiness, with Vice President JD Vance stating that Ross has “absolute immunity.” Vance said Ross’s actions were “very important” for the country during a press conference on January 8 at the White House.
“He’s been assaulted, he’s been attacked, he’s been injured because of it. He deserves a debt of gratitude,” Vance said, reiterating the regime’s claim that Good attempted to assault Ross with her car, which video evidence from multiple angles contradicts.
A GoFundMe was launched to support Good’s widow and family, with the organizer closing the fundraiser with a total of $1,499,632 in donations.
“Thank you for your generosity,” organizer Mattie Weiss said. “If you’re looking to donate, we encourage you to support others in need. We are truly grateful.”
Good’s family hired Romanucci & Blandin, a Chicago-based law firm that won a 2021 case against the City of Minneapolis for George Floyd’s murder. The City paid out $27 million. Despite the regime’s claims of Ross having full immunity, organizer Clyde Emmons said donations will be used for legal fees, and MAGA is close to making Ross a millionaire.
On January 17 at 10:30 a.m. (PST), Ross’s GoFundMe had a total of $772,393 in donations. GoFundMe donors are required to use the name associated with their credit card or other payment methods. These include:
- Paypal
- Venmo
- Google Pay
- Bank transfer
Cardholder names for credit or debit cards are linked to people’s legal names. This also applies to PayPal, Google Pay, and bank transfers. If people insert different names, their payment is likely to be rejected, according to GoFundMe. Venmo requires users to sign up with their legal names, but people can alter their display names to their choosing.
This is TtS’s second batch of names of people who donated to Ross’s GoFundMe. Data on the following slides includes the majority of people who donated from January 15-17.
