Newly-released footage of Renee Good before she was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross has revealed her haunting final words.

The mom-of-three spent her last moments behind the wheel of her SUV before the veteran immigration officer shot her dead.

The tragic incident unfolded just last week (January 7), after the increased presence of ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration

The Trump administration deployed a total of 2,000 federal agents to the area in recent weeks, a decision opposed by Mayor Jacob Frey.

Frey has insisted that the agents are not working to make the city safer, instead actually the opposite.

“They’re ripping families apart, they’re sowing chaos in our streets,” he claimed.

But it’s not the only state that Trump has deployed immigration officers to.

It’s part of a nationwide crackdown across America, that has so far resulted in thousands of arrests.

The President has since responded to the incident which resulted in the death of 37-year-old Renee Good.

Speaking to the New York Times, Trump said: “I want to see nobody get shot.

“I want to see nobody screaming and trying to run over policemen either.”

He added: “That was a vicious situation that took place. She behaved horribly.

“And then she ran him over. She didn’t try to run him over. She ran him over.”

Both the President and and the Vice President believe that Good’s death was as a result of her obstructing the officers.

But having watched the footage which has circulated on social media, many believe the ICE agent did not act out of self-defense.

Trump blamed the ‘radical left’ for Good’s death, and added: “We need to stand by and protect our law enforcement officers from this radical left movement of violence and hate.

“They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE.”

Trump and his administration have categorized Good’s behavior before being shot as an ‘act of domestic terrorism.’

‘It was totally avoidable’

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has taken a different stance, claiming that the shooting was ‘totally predictable.’

In a statement, Walz said: “This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying.

“It was totally avoidable.”

Following her death, Good’s heartbroken family has spoken out about the ‘extremely compassionate’ woman she was.

“Renee’s taken care of people all her life,” they wrote.

“She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”

The 37-year-old was a mom-of-three, with a six-year-old son whose father had died in 2023.

Good had dropped him off at school in her SUV just before the fatal shooting.

New footage of the moments that led to her death has been released, in which a brief interaction between Good and Ross plays out.

A bystander can be heard shouting at the ICE agents, as one said: “Get the f*** out of my neighborhood.”

But Good’s interaction with Ross was seemingly less hostile, at least from her side.

ICE agents surrounded her vehicle, which was parked across the street, as they shouted ‘get out of the car, out of the car, get out of the f***ing car.’

One tried to open the door as Ross walked around her car, filming the vehicle and the registration plate.

After fatally shooting the 37-year-old, Ross can be heard calling her a ‘f***ing b****.’

Who is ICE agent Jonathan Ross?

Officer Ross has served in the special response team of ICE’s enforcement for the last decade, and had played a huge part in the 2025 and beyond removal operation.

And it seems that he has the backing of the Trump administration following the shooting, after claiming he took a life in self-defense.

In the clip, a dog can be seen in the back seat of Good’s SUV, but it’s been reported that the animal was not hurt.

The victim’s final words

Good’s chilling final words were uttered during a conversation with Ross, in which the mom said: “That’s fine, dude.

“I’m not mad at you.”

Following her brutal death, Vice President JD Vance has stated that ICE agent Ross will not face charges or prosecution.

Speaking to reporters, he added: “That guy is protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job.”
