A GoFundMe marketing campaign benefiting Jonathan Ross — the ICE agent who allegedly shot Renee Nicole Good to demise final week in Minneapolis — reached over $475,000 in donations as of the Monday after Good’s demise.
The marketing campaign’s organizer is a Michigan man named Clyde Emmons, in line with the online web page. He wrote he’d arrange the GoFundMe, which has a purpose of $550,000, “after seeing all the media bs about a domestic terrorist” — referring to Good — getting her personal GoFundMe marketing campaign.
Emmons wrote Ross’ actions have been “1000 percent justified” and mentioned funds from the marketing campaign have been going to assist the ICE agent.
The marketing campaign’s largest donor was billionaire businessman Invoice Ackman, who donated a whopping $10,000 to the marketing campaign. He justified his donation in a put up on X, writing he wished to donate the identical quantity to Good’s marketing campaign … which was closed after it acquired greater than $1.5 million in donations.
Ackman wrote he is a “big believer in our legal principal that one is innocent until proven guilty,” and described the entire state of affairs as a tragedy.
It is unclear if Ross will be capable to settle for the donations … federal authorities staff cannot obtain any supplementations to their salaries as compensation for his or her providers, in line with the U.S. Workplace of Authorities Ethics.
Nevertheless, authorities staff can solicit and settle for items from individuals when it is clear the present is motivated by a familial or private relationship … however not a federal place.
FYI … Ross shot Good in site visitors on a residential road in Minneapolis final week, on January 7. Good tried to drive away from the scene as ICE officers ordered her out of her Honda Pilot. Ross, standing on the entrance of her car, fired three pictures at Good, fatally putting her within the head. The intentions of Good and of Ross on the scene are each in dispute.
The Trump administration, together with Vice President J.D. Vance and Kristi Noem, has praised Ross’ actions, claiming he was performing in self-defense when he shot Good.
